MAMBA MINDSET — As the world grieves the loss of NBA legend Kobe Bryant and his 13-year-old daughter Gianna, who lost their lives with seven others in a helicopter crash, many are honoring the late basket player in unique ways.
One fan took to social media to showcase his love for the star by creating a memorial of Bryant out of Rubik's Cubes.
The video shows a young man solving Rubik's Cubes as he puts them in a crate on the wall. Eventually, an image of Kobe Bryant begins to form.
It was shared on Twitter and has since amassed more than 18,000 likes.

After placing the final Rubik's Cube in the portrait, a basketball with "RIP" written on it is turned to face the camera.
The video is just one of many ways fans have honored Bryant.
Earlier this week, ESPN sports anchor Elle Duncan shared the memory of meeting Bryant two years ago at an event. The touching story inspired fathers with daughters to share why they love being a dad as part of a social media trend under #GirlDad, which was trending most of Tuesday on Twitter.
Rest in peace, Mamba.
