In the early hours of Wednesday morning, the sports world reacted to a report that the iconic Staples Center would be renamed for the first time since its opening over 20 years ago. And one person had an emotional reaction to the change because of the legacy left there by her husband.
Vanessa Bryant reposted a picture on her Instagram story that featured her late husband and Lakers legend, Kobe Bryant, with a picture of the Staples Center in the background and added a crown to his head.
"Forever known as 'The House That Kobe Built,'" she wrote in the post.
