ESPN said that the statue is positioned outside Crypto.com Arena, near the Los Angeles Kings’ memorial commemorating the team’s 50th anniversary, citing anonymous sources. The statue will be accessible for public viewing beginning Saturday morning.

The statue is the second of three planned tributes to Kobe, who died in a helicopter crash with Gigi and seven others in January 2020.

The first statue, unveiled on February 8, is a 19-foot bronze tribute to Kobe’s 81-point performance against the Toronto Raptors.

Friday’s date (8/2/24) has a similar numerology meaning to the February ceremony (2/8/24), as it represents both Kobe’s uniform numbers (8 and 24) and the No. 2 that 13-year-old Gigi wore on the basketball court.
