A towering tribute: Lakers unveil 19-foot Kobe Bryant statue
In a ceremony filled with emotion, the Los Angeles Lakers unveiled a massive 19-foot statue of franchise icon Kobe Bryant outside Crypto.com Arena on Thursday night. The 4,000-pound bronze sculpture depicts Bryant in his No. 8 jersey, his finger raised triumphantly towards the sky. This pose commemorates a legendary moment in Lakers history: Bryant walking off the court after scoring a career-high 81 points against the Toronto Raptors in 2006.
