On January 26 this year, the world bid farewell to one of the greatest players in basketball history, Kobe Bryant. The Lakers legend retired from the NBA in 2016 after 20 glorious seasons with his jerseys going up on the rafters at Staples Center. The unfortunate events in January saw Kobe Bryant, his daughter Gianna and seven others killed in a helicopter crash near Calabasas, California. While tributes for Bryant poured in, fans have also dedicated impressive murals to the legend across the globe.

Kobe Bryant murals have slowly popped up across the globe with a heavy concentration in the city of Los Angeles, where Bryant was a loved figure. Venice-based mural artist Jules Muck painted "Kobe & Gigi Forever" hours after the tragedy that killed the nine victims. Per reports, there are over hundreds of murals dedicated to the Black Mamba across the streets of LA. Tattoo artist Rask Opticon collaborated with the owner of 3TEN Liquor to create the "Mamba Mentality" mural outside his store back in February. A mural depicting Kobe Bryant sitting with the NBA Championship can be seen at Black Star Burger, Fairfax. It was created by Gena Milanesi.
