Recently, rumors have been widely circulated on the Internet that the Lakers are preparing to unveil the statues of Kobe Bryant and Gigi Bryant for 2024. Unfortunately, however, these rumors are not true.
According to the latest news, these rumors are false, and the Lakers have not determined the exact date of the unveiling of the statue of Kobe Bryant. Although there have been suggestions that Kobe's daughter, Gigi, may be included in the statue, there are no plans to put the statue into use.
According to The Courier's Arash Markazi, "According to multiple sources on the Lakers and AEG, the rumors about the unveiling of the statues of Bryant and Gigi on August 8, 2024 are not true. It is well known that Kobe will have his own statue in the future. While it has been proposed to include Gigi, plans for the statue have not yet been set, including an unveiling date. ”
There is no doubt that if the statue of Kobe Bryant is unveiled on August 8, 2024, it will be an extremely perfect time, as both numbers represent two important stages of Black Mamba's career: No. 8 and No. 24. However, it seems that the Lakers need more time to prepare.
However, we can't blame them. Given that Kobe Bryant is one of the greatest players in Lakers history, the Purple and Gold Corps naturally want to pay tribute to him perfectly in every way.
It would be a very beautiful thing if they could include Gigi in Kobe's statue. As we all know, Kobe Bryant is a typical "daughter dad", and if he can appear in the statue of the Lakers with his late daughter, it will undoubtedly make him very happy.
For now, fans will have to wait and see what action the Los Angeles Lakers will take.
