Kobe Bryant Statue to be Unveiled in Front of Crypto.com Arena
One of Los Angeles’ most beloved icons will be receiving one of the greatest and lasting gifts his former home could bestow.

That statue will be unveiled in a ceremony on Thursday starting at 3:00 p.m. before being available for public viewing on Friday.
