Kobe Bryant is known as one of the greatest basketball players of all time, and people like him are all over the world, but Kobe's real home is in Los Angeles, and he is the true king of Los Angeles.
After the Staples Arena was renamed Crypto Arena, Kobe Bryant's fans are still guarding here, and every Lakers game, Kobe's No. 8 and No. 24 jerseys are still the most common in the audience.
In mid-February, the Los Angeles Lakers unveiled a statue dedicated to Kobe Bryant, the largest of the seven statues on display outside the arena in downtown Los Angeles.
While some fans extolled Bryant's muscle memory, the unveiling ceremony was also full of drama, with many criticizing the statue's design, especially the pose being too ugly.
The statue is also a sign of the NBA's inspiration to younger generations, with Lakers owner Jenny Buss, one of Bryant's closest friends and admirers, saying, "We will share what he means to us, and when we do, we will inspire new generations to emulate the 'Mamba Spirit'."
On the day the statue was unveiled, people saw his value.
On the night of the statue's unveiling, Russell was unable to play in the night's game due to knee soreness, and the Lakers suffered a crushing defeat to the Denver Nuggets.
The next night, Russell returned against the Pelicans and scored a team-high 30 points to help the Lakers to victory. Later, Russell admitted in an interview that he was disappointed not to be able to help the Lakers the night before, as the fans' love for this guy made him shudder.
Russell: "I was talking to a security guard and it was surreal for me to hear the crowd chanting Kobe Bryant like that, and the crazy shouts from the fans made me shudder. ”

Kobe Bryant has been dead for many years, Vanessa's love for her has not faded at all, and on Valentine's Day, Vanessa also posted a rare old photo of herself when she was in love with Kobe.
Vanessa is still wearing Kobe's No. 8 jersey in front of the mirror**, she must miss Kobe Bryant.
Recently, the Gasols and Vanessa family reappeared on the Lakers' home court and took a photo with the statue of Kobe.
After Bryant's death, Gasol named his daughter Gianna in honor of Bryant's second daughter, and the family moved from Spain to Los Angeles to live with Vanessa's mother and daughter.
Vanessa also became good friends with Gasol's wife, Silvia López Castro, and talked about everything.
In the group photo, Sylvia's delicate facial features are particularly eye-catching, and her appearance is not inferior to Vanessa, and even more beautiful than Vanessa when she was young.
Silvia wore a slanted shoulder dress, showing off her bumpy figure, standing with Gasol, who has always been a gentleman, and she was a veritable talented woman.
For Lakers fans, everyone will affectionately call Gasol "sister-in-law" because he looks weak on the outside, but in fact, Gasol is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and the two brothers are the pillars of the Spanish men's basketball team.
Before Gasol joined the Lakers, he fell in love with Silvia, a Spanish reality TV actress who worked as a cheerleader in Barcelona, and her figure and facial features were not only in line with the aesthetics of Europeans, but also those of Asians.
Gasol and Sylvia fell in love at first sight, because they were busy with the game and never got married and had children, Sylvia waited until she was 40 years old! It wasn't until after Gasol retired that the two got married and gave birth to two babies in quick succession.
I treat you with long hair and waist, and you treat me with full honor, Sylvia has waited for 20 years, and Gasol has no scandals, which shows how precious the alliance between the two is.
After giving birth, Sylvia gave up her job and taught her husband and children at home, Gasol made a lot of money in her career, and the two didn't have to think about economic issues, who could not envy such a fairy couple.
During Kobe's death, Vanessa gained more than 60 pounds due to depression, and now she has walked out of the haze of the death of her husband and daughter, and her state is back to the peak.
is worth tens of billions of dollars and is very good-looking, which makes Vanessa never lack of suitors around her, but Kobe's position in Vanessa's mind has never been replaced.
Recently, Vanessa also posted a photo of Natalia on social networks, Natalia received professional training and counseling after signing with IMG Sports Model Agency, and her temperament has changed greatly.
The eldest daughter, Natalia, is also studying film at the University of Southern California, and has been studying film studies recently, and will also enter the film and television industry after graduation, and the future is promising.
