The basketball star from the La Lakers donates $ 5,000 so that the work can shine in new splendor.
Unknowns have spoiled a murals in Downtown Los Angeles, who honored Laker’s legend Kobe Bryant and his daughter Gigi. Now basketball star Luka Doncic has agreed to pay for the repair costs. The Lakers point guard pays $ 5,000 so that the work can shine in new splendor. “It was always important to me to give something back to the community,” said Doncic.
Louie Palsino, creator of the Mural, had started a Gofundme campaign to collect money. Doncic now pays everything. “I want to thank Luka and am proud that he is now a laker and Los Angeles represents, and I know that Kobe is proud,” said Palsino of La Times: “I am sure that he will only carry him into the hearts of all in Los Angeles.” Doncic switched from the Dallas Mavericks to the Lakers in spring.
The five-time NBA champion Bryant and his daughter Gianna, called Gigi, died at the end of January 2020 during a helicopter crash in Calabasas near La. There are several murals in honor of the club icon in the city.
