The Mamba Sports Academy says it will honor Kobe Bryant's memory be removing the word "Mamba" from its name forever.
And, if you're confused ... you're not alone.
Kobe partnered up with The Sports Academy (a youth sports training business) in 2018 -- which led to the name change "Mamba Sports Academy."
Kobe was very involved with the Academy -- and was traveling to a MSA facility in Thousand Oaks, CA with his daughter Gianna and several other people when their helicopter crashed on January 26.
Now, Sports Academy founder and CEO Chad Faulkner says the company will make significant changes as a tribute to the NBA legend.
