“My brain... it cannot process failure. It will not process failure. Because if I sit there and have to face myself and tell myself, ‘You’re a failure’... I think that’s almost worse than death” - Kobe Bryant

Kobe Bryant was best known for his play on the court for the Los Angeles Lakers. He was a family man who loved his wife and his 4 beautiful daughters. He has inspired so many around the world and has done so much as a person, and so much for the NBA, WNBA, and international basketball. On January 26th 2020, reports surfaced that Kobe passed away in a tragic helicopter accident along with his 13 year old daughter, Gianna Bryant who was bound for great success as a basketball player. 

I am petitioning to 2K Sports/NBA 2K and a prominent member of their staff, Ronnie 2K to honor Kobe and his daughter by making them the cover of the next 2K series, NBA 2K21. He is the epitome of greatness in basketball and in life and this would be an amazing way to ensure he will always be remembered and appreciated to everyone who loves basketball. His daughter was bound for greatness and would most likely have had a great WNBA career. With the positive shift of support for the WNBA, I think having him and his daughter on the cover would be incredible. 

Rest In Peace Kobe & Gianna Bryant
