It’s the most Spike Lee tribute possible. The filmmaker, who is presenting at this year’s awards, is known to turn out a purple ‘fit on the red carpet. In 2019, he wore a dark purple suit in honor of Prince.
Bryant died last month, in a helicopter crash that also killed his 13 year old daughter, Gianna. His relationship with Spike Lee goes all the way back to when Bryant still played on the Lakers. In 2009, Lee directed the documentary Kobe: Doin’ Work, a look into the basketball superstar’s work ethic during one day of the 2007 - 2008 season. In 2018, Kobe Bryant became an Academy Award winner for his own animated short film, Dear Basketball.
