Kyrie Irving isn’t the first person to lobby for Kobe Bryant being used as the new logo for the NBA. There have been many fans and people around the league who have been outspoken about their desire to make the mamba the new logo.

While it has been over a year since we lost Kobe Bryant and his daughter Gigi in a horrific helicopter crash, his presence in and around the league is still going to this day. Players such as Kyrie Irving, LeBron James, Russell Westbrook, etc. built such strong bonds with Kobe, and they continue to add on to his legacy.

I don’t really agree with Kyrie Irving much, but i’m all for the NBA changing their logo to Kobe Bryant. Honestly, it kind of seems like a no-brainer to me. Make it happen Adam Silver.
