The 12 best photos of the Lakers' new Kobe Bryant statue

The new Kobe Bryant statue looks fantastic.

The Los Angeles Lakers unveiled a brand-new statue honoring franchise great Kobe Bryant on Thursday night.

The Bryant statue is one of three that will stand in Star Plaza outside of Crypto.com Arena, with this statue a pose that Bryant himself picked out (from his legendary 81-point game) before his tragic death in 2020.

Now, the Lakers legend will live eternally outside of the arena where he etched his legacy.

You can see some great photos of the brand-new statue as it’s now been revealed below, including some close-ups of the attention to detail the sculptors took to bring Bryant’s awesome statue to life.
