It has been 2 years since the world lost NBA Legend Kobe Bryant, his daughter Gianna, and friends John, Keri, and Alyssa Altobelli, Sarah and Payton Chester, Christina Mauser, and Ara Zobayan in an helicopter crash in Southern California. I still remember where I was when I learned about the tragedy. I was hosting an event in a building that didn’t have a strong wi-fi signal. I remember frantically calling and trying to search the internet to see if the news was true…It Was.
Fans from all over the world took to the streets, putting up beautiful murals honoring Kobe and Gianna. Check out 32 pictures of these amazing works of art below. RIP to Kobe, Gianna, John, Keri, Alyssa, Sarah, Payton, Christina, and Ara.
