Kobe Bryant’s 19-foot state was unveiled last night outside of the Lakers’ downtown arena<\/a> – originally posted on Sportslens.com<\/a><\/p>\n

In January 2020, NBA Hall of Famer Kobe Bryant tragically lost his life in a helicopter crash. His daughter Gianna and several others lost their lives that day. It was a tragic loss for the Bryant family, the Laker nations, and the NBA as a whole. Kobe was still so young when he passed and had so much more to give to the game of basketball.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s been four years since his passing and it doesn’t get any easier for his widow Vanessa or anyone who was close to Kobe. Last night, the Lakers immortalized Bryant with a 19-foot statue outside of their downtown arena. Bryant himself chose what pose he wanted to use for his statue. He chose his iconic pose holding up one finger when he scored 81 points vs. the Raptors in 2006. Additionally, there will be two other statues. His main statue is Kobe wearing his #8 jersey, the second is him in #24, and the final will be Bryant and his daughter Gianna.<\/p>\n
