It’s now been over four years since Kobe Bryant and his daughter Gigi tragically lost their lives in a helicopter accident, but it’s still hard to believe they’re gone. One of the greatest athletes of all time left this world much too soon, and we also lost a future hoops star who sadly never got the chance to reach her full potential. But as they say, legends never die, and the Mamba Mentality lives on in the hearts of sports fans everywhere. Kobe will certainly never be forgotten by collectors of cards and sneakers, as he leaves behind a huge legacy in the history of each. Since 1996, when his first rookie cards hit the market, he’s been one of the most in-demand athletes in The Hobby, and his signature shoe lines with adidas and Nike are among some of the greatest designs to ever step onto the court.
