NBA The coach of the sixers was clear with the proposal of Kyrie Irving
Lthe conversation for paying tribute to Kobe Bryant continues in the NBA. A few days ago Kyrie Irving will have taken the first step in driving change of the league logo for the image of the star of the Lakers instead of Jerry West.
how the Nets player mentioned it, the proposal could be well received or not by the players and coaches, which was immediately demonstrated. Sixers coach Doc Rivers mentioned that he will agree to the change as long as it was Michael Jordan and not Kobe.
“If you want to change the logo, Michael for m, will be this logo. You usually change things because of the story and discover something that doesn’t fit. But Jerry deserves to be in the logo and I have no problem staying that way, ”he said in an interview for the media.
Rivers mentions that although there are legends that deserve recognition, prefers to keep the image as it is.
“What will we do, change the logo every 10 or 20 years? I like our logo and I think we’ll probably stick with it, although we are probably a minority who have this thought, “he said.
Although the proposal is, the NBA said a year ago that changing the logo will be quite complicated by marketing issues and contracts that include the current image.
