‘MAMBA OUT’: BLADEN MAN BUILDS TRIBUTE CASKET TO EMBODY KOBE’S LEGACY
The Bladen County, NC man who built a tribute casket for Kobe, Gianna and the seven other crash victims arrived in L.A. last week to display his piece. “We wanted something that would really bring life, and to bring hope and inspiration,” Fletcher Collins said. “So the spirit of Kobe will live forever.” From thousands of miles away, Collins knew he could do something special to honor Kobe. “For everybody to be able to feel that love and the spirit of him and what he stood for,” Collins said. “What he represented, and everything he brought to the game. not only that, but all the communities.”
When Collins got the call from a family friend of Kobe’s, he went to work building a tribute casket for Kobe, Gianna and the seven other victims. “We’re hoping it would touch his fans and family again in a way that this piece would be so memorable that it would never, ever go away,” he said. Collins say it represents Kobe’s legacy, which will never go away. The casket was detailed with things like the jersey number of Kobe and Gianna, their nicknames and places he has played. “The Black Mamba,” he said. “You know and the Staples Center, because that’s where he spent 20 years.” In just 72 hours, Collins built the casket hoping it would embody all the things the NBA legend did. Collins hopes to leave the casket on display somewhere or auction it off and donate the money to Kobe’s Mamba and Mambacita Sports Foundation.
