Natalia, the eldest daughter of Kobe Bryant, received her diploma from the University of Southern California on Friday, adorning her graduation sash with a special detail.
At the top of the sash, right over her heart, she placed the famous Nike sheath logo associated with her late father.
Natalia successfully completed her studies at USC`s School of Cinematic Arts. Congratulations on this achievement came from many well-known figures, including USC women`s basketball star JuJu Watkins, New York Liberty player Sabrina Ionescu, and actor Michael B. Jordan, among others.
This logo first appeared in 2005 and became an integral part of Kobe`s Nike sneakers and merchandise.
The Los Angeles Lakers legend will also leave his recognizable mark on the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. A variation of the emblem, designed by Kobe`s widow, Vanessa Bryant, is inspired by his logo and the `Black Mamba` spirit.
Vanessa Bryant stated: “We created this emblem in his honor. We hope it inspires every aspiring Olympian and Paralympian to exhibit the `Mamba mentality`. We are very proud that this emblem will represent the Los Angeles Games. I know Kobe would have been so proud to host the Games in this great city.”
Kobe, his daughter Gianna, and seven other people tragically died in a helicopter crash in January 2020.
