With the Tragic, Devastating, & Heartbreaking news the world received yesterday on the passing of NBA legend and all around great human being, Kobe Bean Bryant, & his daughter Gianna Bryant, and all others involved, we all need to pay our respects and realize how precious life is. Through all the sadness, and tears, & emotions, one thing is clear, this person and super hero (Kobe Bryant) has touched the lives of so many and has inspired so many, wether they were fans of the game of basketball or not. The “Mamba Mentality” & relentless determination on and off the court Kobe displayed in his everyday life and with his family, was not done just for him, he was motivating a whole generation. A true transcendent figure. A true ICON! A true LEGEND! A true CHAMPION! A true FIGHTER! It’s what we all strive to be. The impact he has made on lives of those across the WORLD should not go unnoticed. This man was GREAT & will forever be GREAT! Kobe Bryant is famous for many things, his #8 & #24 jerseys included. I start this petition to say that we should honor a legend like this the way he deserves. August 24th (8/24) should be National Kobe Bryant Day! Country & World Wide. What a coincidence that his birthday is August 23rd. It is only right! Long Live Kobe Bean Bryant �� We Love You. God Bless his family and all other families involved in this tragedy �
