Kobe appreciation thread

[leia]

RIP Kobe - I didnt have many cards but this is probably the best i have to show.

I think that’s a little to much. Maybe retire his jersey number/s with the whole league

What’s the attachment to the old logo? Any?

I get it though, if not change it to Jordan, why do it for Kobe. Still an argument to be made though I reckon.

I love the idea. I dont even think Jerry West would stand in the way, he loved Kobe. Also Jordan has his own logo that is arguably as known as the nba logoman.

Jerry West has said he doesn't want to be the logo, and as much as I love Kobe, they shouldn't change the logo.

Maybe they could just make the All Star Game NBA Logo as Kobe's logo?

That way the NBA branding stays the same but gives a nod to Kobe on ASG weekend.

Even if for only one game, LA Lakers vs ......., Would be a fitting tribute.

 

[GarnettFan4Life]

Lots of great ideas.

 

[Matt26]

This one I saw proposed is very similar to the current day logo.....

RIP Kobe #8 & #24

I posted these in my own thread but thought I would show in here.

 

[GarnettFan4Life]

Ok so I definitely had to have this one right?!

 

[sgt_pepper]

Biggest honour the NBA could give would be to change the logo right? That would be epic. Do you think they would ever change it or would it be too insulting to Jerry West? I think I've heard an interview with him where he said he wasn't sure why they picked him?

i doubt west would mind, especially after hearing some of his current interviews regarding kobe, but i think its excessive.
some other more fitting suggestions by other people on here i think. i like retiring '24' league wide.
or maybe im just an old man resistant to change...

Thank you everyone for sharing.

Really enjoyed reminiscing with this thread. Many of us watched Kobe grow from a confident teenage prodigy, to a dominant force in the league, and finally a legend of the game.
It’s been a hell of a ride, and over heart-breakingly too soon
R.I.P. Mamba, thanks for the memories

Some sick cards in here.

@Jordan_Cards_Fan has all of mine.
He needs to show em off.

Will get some nice close ups over the weekend and post them up just for you my friend

Don’t collect Kobe but a few months ago had an offer of this in a trade and thought I should have a Kobe Auto in the PC just out of respect, very glad I did that now.
