Kobe Bryant fans are asking to change the NBA logo to honor the Lakers legend

Hundreds of thousands of NBA basketball fans are asking to refresh their slogan to honor Kobe Bryant after the tragic death of the great basketball player.

Bryant died with his 13-year-old daughter Gianna Bryant and seven others in a helicopter crash in Calabasas, California on Sunday.

The team flew to Thousand Oaks, California, in a basketball game where Gianna was expected to play, and Bryant would be the coach.
