A new statue honoring the late Kobe Bryant and his daughter Gianna 'Gigi' Bryant is set to be unveiled in a private ceremony outside of Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. This statue is part of a series of monuments dedicated to the Los Angeles Lakers legend, who tragically passed away in a helicopter crash in January 2020.
The upcoming statue, which will be the second in the series, follows the unveiling of a 19-foot bronze memorial commemorating Bryant's historic 81-point game against the Toronto Raptors. The ceremony for the new statue is scheduled for Friday, a date chosen for its numerological significance related to Bryant's jersey numbers - 8, 24, and Gigi's number 2.
