Kobe Bryant To Be Memorialised In Los Angeles

It came as a shock when news broke that Kobe Bryant has passed away in a helicopter crash alongside eight other passengers amongst which was his daughter, Gianna, 13, in Los Angeles on Sunday.

Sadly, the former Lakers forward death was on the eve of the 62nd Grammy Awards night which was held at Staples Center and the event was somewhat sober and low-spirited as tribute was paid to him by Alicia Keys during her stage performance. 

L.A Lakers are also planning a much bigger way to forever remember their star player, who made a lot of contributions to the game and they are reportedly working towards honouring him by naming a street after him

L.A City Council has already been approached by the club, and at the moment, no decisions have been made on the proposal made by Lakers with which the deceased won the NBA MVP twice. 

It is understood that where Lakers plan to name after Kobe is L.A Live area and discussions are already ongoing on the proposal for a tribute to one of the greatest players in NBA history.
