Jeanie Buss finally delivers the best news the Lakers wanted to hear & blows their minds

One of the biggest questions the Lakers Nations have been asking is where is Kobe Bryant, arguably the greatest purple and gold player of all time.

The late Kobe sadly passed away in a tragic helicopter crash accident a little more than three years ago alongside his daughter Gigi and other passengers.

With information by Russ Weakland and Alex Raskin, they said: “The promised Kobe Bryant statue outside LA’s Crypto.com Arena will incorporate his daughter Gigi and – in a nod to his jersey numbers, 8 and 24 – will be unveiled by the Lakers on August 8, 2024, an inside source has told DailyMail.com.”

“Lakers owner Jeanie Buss previously revealed plans to erect a statue for Bryant after he, his 13-year-old daughter, Gigi, six friends, and a pilot died in a helicopter crash in January of 2020. The source tells DailyMail.com that Bryant’s widow, Vanessa, is involved with the plans, but cautioned that an artist for the piece has not yet been chosen.”

A long-desired request from the fans is finally happening

Talk of a statue for one of the NBA’s all-time greatest players began shortly after the tragic accident. The topic again became prominent after LeBron James hinted at retirement following last season, which drew talk of a statue for the current Lakers star countered by the fact that the elder Bryant does not have one as of yet.
