Shark experts have named a great white after basketball legend Kobe Bryant, who was apparently fascinated with the fearsome creatures. The 12-foot-long shark was spotted in the Pacific Ocean near Guadalupe Island, Mexico, which is a gathering spot for white sharks, according to Michael Domeier with the Marine Conservation Science Institute. Bryant died last month in a helicopter crash that also killed his daughter, Gianna, and seven others.
