More than two million people (and climbing fast) have signed an online petition asking the NBA to change its logo to feature Kobe Bryant, who was among nine people who died Sunday in a helicopter accident just north of Los Angeles.
“With the untimely and unexpected passing of the great Kobe Bryant, please sign this petition in an attempt to immortalize him forever as the new NBA logo,” the petition reads.
The sentiment is nice. The loss of Bryant and his 13-year-old daughter, Gigi, has saddened and depressed millions of people around the world, basketball players and fans perhaps the most.
