The Los Angeles Lakers and Vanessa Bryant announced the unveiling of a bronze statue honoring Kobe Bryant on February 8, 2024, at Star Plaza outside Crypto.com Arena.

“As you know, Kobe played his entire 20-year NBA career as a Los Angeles Laker,” Vanessa Bryant said in a video to fans.  “Since arriving in this city and joining the Lakers organization, he felt at home here, playing in the City of Angels.  On behalf of the Lakers, my daughters, and me, I am so honored that, right in the center of Los Angeles, in front of the place known as the house that Kobe built, we are going to unveil his statue so that his legacy can be celebrated forever.”

Kobe Bryant took part in planning the forthcoming statue at Star Plaza after retiring.  This marks the initiation of a series of tributes to honor his legacy.  He will be the seventh Lakers figure with a statue, alongside Elgin Baylor, Shaquille O’Neal, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Earvin “Magic” Johnson, Jerry West, and Chick Hearn.

Artist Julie Rotblatt Amrany crafted the sculpture from the Fine Art Studio of Rotblatt Amrany.

“Kobe Bryant was one of the most extraordinary athletes of all time and one of the most iconic individuals in the history of Los Angeles,” said Jeanie Buss, Los Angeles Lakers Governor.  “There is no better place for Kobe to be honored with a statue than here, at the center of our city, where everyone can celebrate him and be inspired by his incredible achievements.”

Additional details about the February 8 ceremony will be shared soon.

“Kobe’s transcendent spirit is always and forever in our hearts – inspiring us every day,” said Rob Pelinka, Los Angeles Lakers Vice President of Basketball Operations and General Manager.  “And now, with the unveiling of this powerful and beautiful statue, he will have a physical presence, too.  A place on the hallowed ground Kobe created, where we can all gather and pay honor to a mighty and great man.”
