A petition to make Kobe Bryant’s image the official logo of the NBA has gathered more than 2 million signatures, as of early Tuesday afternoon.
On Sunday the 41-year-old, his 13-year-old daughter Gianna, and seven others died in a helicopter accident in California.
The Change.org petition to honor Bryant requested signatures to “immortalize him forever as the new NBA logo.”
Bryant joined the NBA when he was just 17 years old, retiring in 2016 after a career that spanned two decades.
The current logo is the silhouette of LA Lakers legend Jerry West who was actually the general manager when Bryant joined the team after the 1996 NBA draft.
