People are still mourning the loss of Kobe Bryant, his daughter and the other people who died in the helicopter crash. People were still holding on to the memories of Kobe, but some got upset when they realized that his Mamba Sports Academy removed "Mamba." According to TMZ, Kobe partnered up with The Sports Academy (a youth sports training business) in 2018 and they changed the name then, to Mamba Sports Academy. Sports Academy founder and CEO Chad Faulkner says the company will make significant changes as a tribute to the NBA legend, saying "Today, with respect for an unparalleled legacy, the Academy will retire the 'Mamba' in the Mamba Sports Academy name -- to raise it to the rafters, where it belongs." It was not a diss at all, but the Sports Academy also said the decision to remove "Mamba" from the name was a "mutual agreement made in accordance with the wishes of [Kobe's] estate."
