LUKA Doncic’s $5,000 donation has worked wonders.
The mural in downtown L.A. honoring the late Kobe and Gigi Bryant, which was vandalized amid a street artist feud has now been restored to its former glory.
AFPThe famous mural in LA[/caption] GettyKobe Bryant, daughter Gianna died in helicopter crash in Calabasas[/caption]The tribute piece got a fresh coat of paint this week after being found last month covered in white paint and tagged with graffiti.
The updated mural now closely mirrors the original featuring Kobe holding baby Gigi, the L.A. skyline in the background and the phrase “Mamba Forever.”
After donating the money, Doncic said: “It was always important to give back to the community.
“They gave me so much, so I just want to give back.”
While it’s unclear who initially defaced the artwork it appears there was some beef with the artist behind the piece, Sloe Motions.
The vandals scratched out his tag and left a nasty message: “Keep running your mouth p****.”
They later crossed that out and scrawled: “Leave a name, p****! Don’t be scared.”
In response, Sloe Motions launched a fundraiser to cover the costs of the restoration.
Thanks to Doncic and generous donors, the goal was met easily, raising nearly $6,000 in total.

The crash also killed seven other passengers and the pilot Ara Zobayan.
Bryant’s death was a global tragedy as he was a beloved basketball star and a respected figure in the community.
Let’s hope this drama of his mural is behind us and it stays untouched for years to come.
