When Kobe and Gianna Bryant passed on January 26, 2020, the city of Los Angeles and the basketball world at large mourned the tragedy. Within days, hundreds of Kobe Murals were created across the world to pay homage to the Lakers legend and his daughter. A site was even created called KobeMural.com which tracked where all murals were located worldwide and currently has over 600 locations documented.
One mural displayed on the outside wall of Hardcore Fitness, blocks away from Crypto.com Arena, garnered a lot of attention due to its size and beauty.
