Been seeing these since yesterday and I'm not a fan. There is no need to uphold Kobe's legend further especially at the cost of phasing out Jerry West's. Would also hate to find arguments later that goes: "Why Kobe over Jordan? Because he died first?"
Never understood why Jerry West was a set figure of the logo anyway. If I were a player I would be questioning that more than why an owner should be called an owner.
Why not rotate the logo on the NBA website every month? KAJ skyhook, MJ flying for a dunk, Dirk one legged fade-away are all iconic poses.
How many of us care about that logo of West anyway? Use it more like google creatively uses their doodles to celebrate something. Fans would be interested too.
Read up on a recent article that the NBA never confirmed it was West, but the designer of the logo said he made it referencing a West photo. West himself wasn't comfortable with it and never cashed in. So upon learning that, it even makes sense to me now why the logo should stay as it is - it's a logo Jerry West would prefer that is every player instead (anti-Kobe in a way).
