The Eagles have paid tribute to the late, great Kobe Bryant by putting up a mural at their team’s practice facility. Bryant, who was born in Philadelphia and was a massive Eagles fan, played his high school basketball at Lower Merion in Ardmore, PA before being drafted 13th overall in 1996.
Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jefferey was the first to show off the mural on his Instagram story, which features three different photos of Bryant. One of the photos shows him in an Eagles jersey, the other in a Lower Merion jersey, and the other being him in his Lakers jersey.
