Kobe and Gianna Mural Restoration: Luka Dončić’s Tribute to Mamba On April 26–27, 2025, a beloved mural in downtown Los Angeles, depicting NBA legend Kobe Bryant and his daughter Gianna, was defaced with black and white graffiti, shocking fans and the local community. Located at the corner of 14th and Main Streets, the artwork, titled “Mambas Forever,” was created by artist Louie “Sloe” Motion (real name Louie Palsino) shortly after the tragic helicopter crash on January 26, 2020, that claimed the lives of Kobe, Gianna, and seven others. The mural, showing Kobe in his iconic Lakers uniform kissing Gianna on the head as she holds a basketball, had stood untouched since its creation, serving as a symbol of love, loss, and legacy. Its vandalism sparked outrage, but Los Angeles Lakers star Luka Dončić’s swift action to fund its restoration with a $5,000 donation on April 29, 2025, not only ensured the mural’s revival but also underscored Kobe Bryant’s profound and enduring cultural impact on Los Angeles and beyond.
