More than a million people have signed a petition to use Kobe Bryant's image as a new official NBA logo! On Sunday, he and his 13-year-old daughter Gianna were among nine people killed in a helicopter crash in California.
Writing on Change.org, the petition's founder Nick M said: "With the untimely and unexpected passing of the great Kobe Bryant please sign this petition in an attempt to immortalise him forever as the new NBA logo."
The current logo was designed by Alan Siegel, and features the silhouette of another great LA Lakers player Jerry West, who is 81 years old.
With love from Nigeria 🇳🇬

I would love to see the NBA change the logo to this.

Kobe exemplified what the NBA is all about; excellence both on and off the court.
Making him the logo is mandatory.
