Who hates Kobe so much? Lakers' legend Kobe Bryant and his daughter Gianna's famous mural in downtown Los Angeles, "Mamba Eternal" has been destroyed again, and the mural was just restored a few days ago. According to well-known media TMZ, the mural is located at 1361 Main Street, Los Angeles, and depicts the image of Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant and his toddler daughter Gianna. It was created by artist Sloe_Motion. On January 26, 2020, Kobe and his daughter Gianna accidentally went on a helicopter. After the lifetime, a number of murals about Kobe and Gianna emerged in Los Angeles, which became the emotional sustenance of Los Angeles fans and an important place for fans from all over the world to remember Kobe. However, the work of retaining these murals has also encountered many challenges. For example, in 2023, on the exterior wall of a gym in downtown Los Angeles, Kobe and Gianna with angel wings were tried to demolish the classic mural because the landlord had other uses, Vanessa initiated a petition online, and nearly 3,000 people participated in it and hoped to retain the mural. After the most famous "Mamba Eternal" was maliciously graffitied, Lakers star Doncic donated $5,000 to repair the murals, which was praised by many fans. Doncic said: Kobe represents Los Angeles. He means a lot to this city, the Lakers, and to me personally. I am happy to do everything I can to ensure that the honor of him and his daughter is not damaged.
