In February, the first statue of Kobe Bryant wearing the number 8 Lakers jersey was revealed during a ceremony at the Crypto.com arena, with many basketball legends in attendance.

Before its reveal, Vanessa Bryant, paid tribute to her late husband.

\"Kobe has so many people that have supported him all over the world from the very beginning, and this moment isn't just for Kobe, but it's for all of you that have been rooting for him all of these years,\" she said.

\"For the record, Kobe picked the pose you're about to see, so if anyone has any issues with it, tough s---. It is what it is,\" she added, before sharing the news about three statues being created in his honor.

\"Because fans all over the world and the City of Angels loved Kobe so much, he will have three statues in front of the arena, also known as the house that Kobe built,\" Vanessa Bryant said. \"One wearing the number eight, one with our beautiful daughter, Gianna, and one wearing the number 24.\"

In addition to the number 8 on the jersey, Vanessa Bryant said that the first statue it includes several meaningful details, including the names of their four daughters tattooed on Bryant's arm. The statue also includes a replica of his five championship trophies, inscriptions of Bryant's accolades throughout his career, a QR code that takes users to a tribute video narrated by Denzel Washington about the night Kobe scored 81 points against the Toronto Raptors on Jan. 22, 2006, and a triangular base in honor of Phil Jackson's and Tex Winter's triangle offense.

Kobe Bryant and Gianna died in a helicopter crash in January 2020. They were among nine people who died in the crash in Southern California while en route to Bryant's Mamba Sports Academy.

Since then, Vanessa Bryant, who also shares daughters Natalia Bryant, 20, Bianka, 6, and Capri, 3, with Bryant, has honored her husband and daughter in many ways.
