In news that should come with very little surprise, the Lakers are reportedly finalizing plans for a Kobe Bryant statue outside of Crypto.com Arena. The even better news, though, is that the statue will also incorporate daughter Gigi, according to the Daily Mail.
Vaness Bryant, widow of Kobe, has also been part of the process, though it is still in the very early stages.
The promised Kobe Bryant statue outside LA’s Crypto.com Arena will incorporate his daughter Gigi and – in a nod to his jersey numbers, 8 and 24 – will be unveiled by the Lakers on August 8, 2024, an inside source has told DailyMail.
