Kobe Bryant<\/a><\/strong> and daughter Gianna Bryant<\/strong>, who died in a helicopter crash<\/a> in January, received a special tribute at the 2020 NAACP Image Awards on Saturday.<\/p>\n

The ceremony took place two days before the 41-year-old NBA icon and the 13-year-old will be honored at a public memorial at Staples Center<\/a>, home of his team the Los Angeles Lakers.<\/p>\n

At the 2020 NAACP Image Awards, Kobe’s tribute followed the airing of the In Memoriam segment. Photos of the athlete, including pics of him with his wife Vanessa Bryant<\/strong> and their kids, were shown while banners of his jersey numbers 8 and 24 were projected on either side. The slideshow featured audio clips of him thanking fans and his family. The tribute ended with a picture of Kobe and Gianna smiling while sitting courtside.<\/p>\n

The two were among seven people killed when their helicopter crashed into a hillside in Calabasas, California on January 26.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
