How cool is this?!?
Sylvester Stallone is SUPER DOWN to share the spotlight in Philadelphia with Kobe Bryant ... telling TMZ Sports the city should build a statue of the NBA legend right next to Rocky!!!
"Absolutely!!!" Sly says.
It'd be an amazing tribute ... while Kobe never played for the Sixers -- he grew up in Philly and starred at local Lower Merion HS as a teenager.
Kobe never shied away from his love for Philly despite playing his entire pro career in L.
