Kobe Bryant will have its obligatory, necessary and expected tribute in one of the mythical places for the ‘gods’ of sports history in the city of Los Angeles, the door of the old Staples Center -now Crypto.com Arena-.
There, the ‘Mamba’ will last with a statue, accompanied by his daughter Gigi and on the perfect date. On August 8, 2024.
8/8/24. The dates coincide with the two numbers that Bryant used in the Lakers and with which he reached five championship rings in stages as mythical as the first with Shaquille O’Neal and the second with his great friend Pau Gasol.
Besides, that 24 has another story. “It was a way of saying that it was above 23. Of Michael Jordan. Every record he had was because of him,” confessed Kevin Garnett, Kobe’s old rival.
Kobe Bryant statue on Crypto.com will be unveiled on 8/8/24 and will feature his daughter Gigi
Next to Gigi, his daughter. She is appreciated by the basketball community for her potential and her regular presence at the foot of the game track. And she remembered after the terrible helicopter crash. A way of paying homage to those values that framed one of the great mentalities of sport.
That of ‘Kob’ will be another statue that will form that ‘star walk’ next to the great Los Angeles pavilion. He will accompany Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Shaquille O’Neal, Elgin Baylor, Jerry West, journalist Chick Hearn, boxer Oscar de la Hoya and hockey player Wayne Greatzky.
