Only the worst of the worst kind of person would attempt to destroy a mural, and the NBA world was furious to discover that someone had vandalized a mural of Kobe Bryant and his daughter, Gigi.

The Bryant's sadly passed away in a helicopter crash back in 2020, and fans have celebrated the lives of the Los Angeles Lakers legend and his daughter since the terrible incident.

However, some dork or dorks, took it upon themselves to destroy a beautiful mural celebrating the two.

A GoFundMe had been created to help clean the mess someone created, and Luka Doncic chipped in with a massive donation of $5,000.

An incredible gesture by Doncic, who has only been a member of the franchise since February. However, Doncic has always claimed his love for Bryant, even when he was a member of the Dallas Mavericks.

It is still taking fans time to get used to seeing Doncic in the purple and gold. However, with an incredible gesture like this, it's easy to see why Mavericks fans were so sad to see the team trade him.
