A statue depicting Kobe Bryant and daughter Gianna "Gigi" Bryant will be unveiled in a private tented ceremony Friday outside of Crypto.com Arena, sources told ESPN.
The first statue, a 19-foot bronze memorial to Bryant's 81-point game against the Toronto Raptors, was unveiled on Feb. 8.
Friday's date (8/2/24) holds similar numerology meaning to the February ceremony (2/8/24), representing both of Bryant's uniform numbers (8 and 24) and the No. 2 that 13-year-old Gigi wore.
The third statue, expected to be unveiled next season, will show Kobe Bryant in his No. 24 Lakers uniform, as revealed by his widow Vanessa at a February ceremony.
