Kobe Bryant’s influence spread far beyond North America and if you need proof, then look no further than the Philippines.
In the city of Valenzuela, where basketball serves one of the city’s main sports, a massive mural of Kobe holding his daughter Gianna was made over a covered court following their deaths. According to GMA Network, it took an entire day to paint the mural.
Incredible.
Before the Phillipines, a massive mural of the duo was also painted at Pickford and Vine in LA. Not as big, but beautiful nonetheless.
The ongoing support for the Bryants has been amazing. From lighting the CN Tower to purple and yellow in Toronto to an overwhelming amount of messages from players on Twitter, the love shown towards the 18-time All-Star and Gigi has been staggering.
Mamba and Gigi forever.
