Follow Us
The Philadelphia Eagles are the latest team to honor Kobe Bryant. The Eagles unveiled a mural of the Philadelphia native, Bryant, in their practice facility in the NovaCare Complex. NBA legend Bryant was a devout Eagles fan. Back in 2017, he had come to speak to their players during their Superbowl run.
The mural has pictures of Bryant from his time at Lower Merion High School in Philadelphia, his time at the Los Angeles Lakers, and finally a picture of him sporting the Eagles jersey. Along with these pictures are “Kobe’s 10 rules.”
