In a heartwarming display of community support, Los Angeles Lakers star Luka Doncic has donated $5,000 to restore a vandalized mural of Kobe Bryant and his daughter Gianna “Gigi” Bryant in downtown Los Angeles. The mural, created by artist Louie Motion, was defaced with spray paint, sparking outrage among fans and the local community.
Doncic’s generous donation covered the entire amount needed for the restoration project, which was set up on a GoFundMe page. The page stated that the funds would be used to purchase high-quality paints, sealants, and other essential supplies to restore the mural to its original glory.
The vandalized mural, located on Main Street near West 14th Street, featured a poignant image of Kobe Bryant kissing his smiling daughter on the head. The artwork was created to honor the late Lakers legend and his daughter, who tragically lost their lives in a helicopter crash in January 2020.
According to reports, Doncic’s donation was made after the GoFundMe page received only 21 donations, highlighting the significant impact of his contribution. In a statement, Doncic emphasized the importance of giving back to the community, saying, “My foundation gives back to organizations in the community. It’s always important to give back to the community that gave me so much.”
The restoration of the mural is a testament to the enduring legacy of Kobe Bryant and his daughter, who continue to inspire fans and artists alike. Doncic’s kindness and generosity have been widely praised, demonstrating his commitment to supporting the Los Angeles community.
