The Atlanta Hawks have announced the gift they will be presenting Kobe Bryant ahead of his final game in Atlanta tomorrow night. They have gone outside the box on this one and partnered with the Atlanta Zoo to name their Black Mamba “Kobe”.
It’s a beautiful end to the career of a player who referred to himself as The Black Mamba for many years. The deadly snake is how Kobe chose to represent himself, and now that symbol will live on in Atlanta.
In addition to the snake, the Hawks will be making a donation to the Atlanta Zoo in Kobe Bryant’s name, to further honor him.
