Boubou is a Senegalese artist who creates images that often celebrate sports figures, using objects for his paintbrush (see also Sadio Mane painted using a football). The subject for his latest piece wrote itself. Just hours before Kobe died on Sunday, a new basketball court named House of Kobe opened in Manila, the capital city of the Philippines where basketball is the most popular sport and Bryant visited seven times.
