Six years ago following a Dallas Mavericks game against the Los Angeles Lakers, a contest which five-time NBA champion Kobe Bryant attended, then-Mavericks star Luka Doncic approached the late Bryant and the two embraced in a special moment.
It's a moment that has become even more cherished over the years, especially following Bryant's tragic death in 2020, and now in '25 after the Mavericks' shocking blockbuster trade that sent Doncic to the Lakers, the only team Bryant suited up for in his decorated pro basketball career.
Well, the moment that Doncic and Bryant shared is now being memorialized with a mural in Los Angeles. Check out a photo of the mural in its early stages, shared by the account "Kobe and Gianna Bryant Murals" on X (formerly Twitter).
