Nets' Dinwiddie donating sales from new shoe to Bryant family charity
Brooklyn Nets point guard Spencer Dinwiddie is using his newest signature sneaker to honor Kobe and Gianna Bryant.
Dinwiddie will be donating 100% of the net proceeds from the first nine days of sales of his Mark II sneaker to the MambaOnThree Fund, according to Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports. The fund was created to support the families of the seven other victims killed alongside Bryant and his daughter in a helicopter crash in Calabasas, California on Jan. 26.

Dinwiddie was among the NBA players who changed their jersey numbers from No. 8 or No. 24 to a new number as a tribute to Bryant.
We often search for meaning in numbers. And yes you guys have caught a lot of the obvious reasons...
