Friday marks what would have been the 80th birthday of legendary martial artist Bruce Lee. Despite having died in 1973, Lee remains a pop culture icon who still makes headlines nearly 50 years after his death.

Just last month his daughter, Shannon, released her book Be Water, My Friend: The Teachings of Bruce Lee which quickly became the number one selling martial arts book on Amazon. This week, as the anniversary of his birth approached, Nike re-released its popular Kobe Bryant brand of Bruce Lee-inspired sneakers while the Hong Kong postal service will be releasing a special set of Bruce Lee commemorative stamps.
