I honestly think if Kobe was still here, he would have made sure the name would have stayed the same. It's pathetic in my opinion that anyone allowed that. I live in st Louis Busch stadium could never be anything else it wouldn't make sense

Right! They should've let it stick. No matter the issues with cost. Work That Out! lol Some things truly _are_ more important than money! Hell, I'd have been happy if they named it the Kobe Center! Or the Bryant Center. But if not, at least stick with something memorable, because it matters to US! So it should have mattered to *them.*

@@go1tigers I highly doubt that. He understood business is business. The Forum is no longer called the Great Western Forum. It's bad enough these modern day Roman Colosseums have to be named after a business at all. It's not like decades ago when arenas and stadiums were named after the city. Now these facilities are just looking for a company willing help pay the bills in exchange for having a giant billboard.

Even the flag waving to the side there when you first came around to him... got me choked up. And I saw who put those flowers there to the left at the bottom with the championship trophies. It added such a beautiful, perfect touch the whole time! 👌🏽 BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL Piece! Beyond elated that it's there. Mamba Forever!

The crowd around the statue mean a lot about the people love for kobe no doubt about this so if we can see closely the statue itself we ll be happy

Rest in power to the legend. Love your videos thank you family

that billboard 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Beautiful. Wish I live near to take walks and talk Kobe😳. Biggest Kobe Bryant Fan I Am😢.🕊💗

Thank you for sharing this incredible moment.❤

Muchas Gracias!👍

His passing is still unbelievable to me. He shouldn't be dead. He should be with us right now. The statue is surreal and it's so weird seeing him as kind of a martyr. The guy lived to live. He was the embodiment of someone living a gracious life. Doing what he was supposed to do on this earth. Being a great father, a passionate teammate, and left an indelible impression on you. The way he carried himself. It felt like he was untouchable like in the way Matt Barnes tried to make him flinch to buzzer after buzzer beater shots. As a blazer fan I was kind of saying, "why won't you die?" whenever this guy hit a clutch shot against us. Because that's what it felt like. It felt like this guy wouldn't go away for some time. He was the ultimate human competitor. If you had me name five people who would represent the word "competitor" he'd have to be included among those five. This is just unreal. Fk....rip mamba.

Thank You For Uploading! Wasn't able to go for various reasons. I probably would of cried and screamed so loud I woke up the city! I'm getting much better in terms of healing but I still get pretty sad. Great job recording❤Kev

I may not be a big fan of basketball, but this was really cool that you went to the statue of Kobe Bryant by the crypto Arena. I’m gonna check it out one day if I do go to downtown LA you are amazing for recording this he will forever be missed. ❤

Mann, I've missed your videos so much!! Any Central America videos planned? ❤❤

Well done walking tour as a 62 year old Lakers fan going back to Wilt and Jerry and now disabled it was very nice to enjoy your walk around the house that Kobe built.

I'm gonna fly to LA just to see this!!!...R.I.P. to the Legend!

Kobe never forgotten

Nice place Venessa I love this statue

BEAUTIFUL FOOTAGE can't wait to go see it in person this year and can't wait for the other 2

Kobe eternal legend

💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

Nice job

I want to share a Kobe Bryant memory. I was born and raised in Orange County. Which is the Los Angeles area. So since birth I was a Lakers fan I was born in 1997. In the 2008 finals when Lakers lost to the Celtics. I remember sitting with my dad, my mom, and my sister. We were all laughing having a blast knowing Kobe would win the game for us but when they lost we had to turn off the TV before the game ended and I remember my holding back tears and the living room getting quiet all of a sudden no more laughs or joys... I couldn't hold my tears any longer so I hurried back to my room to lay down and cry because I remember seeing the pain in Kobes face. And my family too we were all devastated that they lost the 2008 finals. I cried for an hour straight into my pillow it was one of the worst days of my life. Love you Kobe you gave it your all every single second to me you are the goat. My family is 1st generation mexican 🇲🇽 but we love Kobe because he married a Mexican woman. My parents hardly speak english but are huge fans of Kobe I just remember like wow the pain we all felt sitting in the living room when he lost man it's. A memory I will never forget ..

At first i didn't like the statue i thought a fade away and attack dribble or reverse jam would be better. But damn this actually looks good i think they did a great job it looks so legendary,

💔💔💔

Los Angeles Lakers Never Give Up

11:21 wait wait ikot lng ako dito shout out kabayan.!!

I bet all the LeBron James fans don’t like this statue lol. I believe a statue of Kobe belongs everywhere that have to do with basketball like Jordan. He put in the hard work. He been got my respect years watching him play. Rest in peace Legend, Kobe Bryant. It should be King Bryant.

Kobe Bryant Ritual

It looks just like him from 2006 when he did 81 points

The helicopter noise in the background tho 😢

Love this man rip kobe killer Bryant

I think it wouldve looked so much better if the championship trophies are polished, glistening in the bright sun.

I'm from Oakland, but I lived in LA for 15 years during the days when the Lakers were playing at the Great Western Forum and I can watch Kareem and Magic for $25.00 ... I'm a diehard Warriors fan, but I also understand Laker Nation, and I am glad someone in that organization has finally put their foot down and restored order ... Lebron has got to go, he is not true Lakers and no amount of hype will make it so ... Kareem is the GOAT, I saw that sky hook in real time so it is not up for debate, next is Dr. J ... next comes Bird and Magic ... then Michael Jordan, then Kobe ...

Is it me or they made Kobe look so old? He was number 8 at this time so they shouldve made him look a little younger

This is so hard to watch. If I can change the past like Avengers in infinity war, I would first 1. keep my grandma from going to that crooked doctor who killed her 2. Put a bullet proof vest on PAC night in Vegas 3. Malcolm X never go to that church 4. MLK never got on the balcony 5. Find cure for Bob Marley cancer and 6. Keep Kobe from getting on the helicopter! All these incidents hurt me to my soul and I'll will never be the same 💯 Rest in peace Kobe! You truly miss bruh 💯

I Love KOBE, However, This statue looks nothing Like Kobe, a very very Kind gesture from the molder, to honor Kobe. I Think they should redo statue. To look more similar to Kobe's Features. to do him More Justice............L.A. LET'S Go.

The first thing that comes to my mind when I see the statue is..I dont see kobe's face in it it just looks like some random dude. I cant quite put my finger on it as to why but thats my thoughts. Not trying to be salty or anything Im very happy to see Kobe get a statue and if people that are close to him are good with it then thats fine but I cant unsee the face being off a bit to me. Maybe if I see it in person I will think differently.

So I get it now. LeBron thinks he actually merits a statue like Kobe. He is dam jealous that Kobe is stealing "His" spotlight, from the grave. LeBron may get a statue but it wont be in Los Angeles.

Kobe belt LA better

I wanted to love this statue so much, but man I can’t stand the face looks nothing like him smh

Love Kobe but can’t stand the Fakers.

Lebron James is waiting for his statue

The statue is so ugly. His right hand is as long as his legs

WHO IS KOBE HE NOTHING WITH OUT SHAQ HE WAS NOTHING WITH OUT PAU.

Lakers, for this occasion shoulda created a line so people could have pics without others in the way….

kobe is a basketball legend but don't worship him as a God.

Well deserved legendary 🔥👌🏽👌🏽🥹… I’m still calling it the Staples Center I don’t care 👌🏽👌🏽
