Former NBA player Michael Cooper, who won five championships with the LA Lakers, thinks the NBA should replace Jerry West with Kobe Bryant's silhouette on their official logo.

Fellow five-time NBA champion Bryant, 41, and his 13-year-old daughter Gianna died in a helicopter crash in Calabasas, California, on Sunday.

Jerry West is the man who discovered Bryant at a very young age and setup a one-on-one between Bryant and Cooper when he was just 17 years old.

And Cooper believes having Bryant on the logo would be a fitting tribute to both men.
