There were others on that Helicopter that were also talented, no statue's or plaques for them? This statue perhaps would be a better fit at the family Cemetery location. Many Celebrities are buried at Forest Lawn's and other locations. Like Hollywood Forever Cemetery
You make no sense. We have all lost loved ones but we don't expect statues for every person that passes. Where's your common sense? Kobe was ultra famous and beloved especially in LA. All of us Kobe supporters want this. Quit hating. Kobe changed lives and impacted so many. It's only right he gets these statues!
@@ArmandoKozomara Statue's are fine and I agree with you regarding Koby Yet how much is to much? Is the next statue going to be Kobe and Vanessa sitting together at a Laker Game? This would have been Great located at Forest Lawn or Hollywood Forever Cemetery were people and fans can come pay their respects. No hate here
@@govideo6706I get what you're trying to convey, but the Lakers are not a charity foundation, they are a for profit franchise, the crème de la crème of a capitalism corporation. This has as much to about marketing, as it has to do about inspiring and honoring. The Lakers are exemplifying the lionizing of a figure that was the essence of their premier brand. If the tragically lost former player was a marginal talent, we wouldn't see this level of idolizing, because that wouldn't epitomize the Lakers' status of excellence. Even though Kobe wasn't always the best player on the team, if you remove Kobe from the team, you remove five championships, because his commitment and contribution wasn't just instrumental, it was essential. Kobe Bryant did for the Lakers, what LeBron James and Michael Jordan has done for the NBA.
This makes me angry. They are honoring a man who was once charged with rape. True, the charges were eventually dropped, but there was clear evidence of physical assault and Bryant ended up paying millions of dollars in compensation as a result of a civil suit that was brought against him in this case. Both statues of Bryant should be taken down and demolished.
I understand how you feel. I too believe he was guilty of sexual assault (I think RUclips doesn't let us say the R word) BUT he wasn't convicted. In this country, that means you are not guilty. He went on to have a stellar career and a beautiful family and the way he died with his young daughter and others was tragic and LA lost a basketball hero. I did not revere him like others did- because of his past, just like I won't listen to Michael Jackson bc I read everything, watched everything about the accusations, and saw his many payouts to families over the years. No Woody Allen films, try to avoid Weinstein produced films...sexual abuse of women and children has been happening since man first walked upright. It is devastating that society STILL dgaf, STILL doesnt believe women, STILL allows the man to skip happily down the flower path. We STILL must be cautious, wary, at all times, know our surroundings, be careful, dont make him mad when you turn him down, oh the list is endless and we all learn it. P.S. and DONT go to Diddy's parties. Thank you for hearing my sad and angry rant. And the statue looks nice. I'm still sad about their deaths.
You should be angry at the wyt woman who had multiple semen found in her underwear. And bragged to her friends that Kobe was endowed. The woman who you're trying to save was very messy. If anyone has the right to be angry. It's his widow. That ship has sailed. Not all Becky is looking to be saved. And some are money opportunists.
Not charged, just accused. Like we haven't seen so many men be accused of something that never happened. It was a mentally unstable young lady who thought she could make some easy by taking advantage of the opportunity. Case closed. Move on.
What about the rest of the people that died as well ? It doesn’t make sense to only honor Kobe and giana. I love them but others should be honor as well
Not saying statues of great men should be taken down but Kobe is one of those great men. Doesn't mean he shouldn't get his flowers just because something else happened. He's impacted and inspired millions including myself.
What about a statue or monument for Nipsey Hussle? One of greatest artist to ever breathe on the microphone. He is a legend in Hiphop and an icon of Los Angeles. He gave back so much to the community.
Yeah, let’s make a huge statue and put them spread out all over Los Angeles and let’s continue making more Colby statues, especially one giant one over by City Hall and more murals and more murals
Kobe is my hero and inspiration. He's helped me, and continues to do so, to be a better man and player, and in the future, father as well. Thank you Kobe! Much love to Vanessa and Bryants. I still can't believe my guy is gone, but he's still here. Always will be. Kobe Forever ❤😢😢
The first one is false so quit spewing nonsense about an innocent man! None of us are perfect. We all have our flaws and vices. But he impacted the world and did more for his wife and family than you ever will even in 10 lifetimes. Quit hating.
@@ArmandoKozomara If he was so "innocent" then WHY did he pay the Girl off? He has NOT impacted the world in any MEANINGFUL WAY! He played a GAME with a BALL, PERIOD!

Kobe "died" on the day "covid" was officially announced in California. The word "Kobe" means "Covid" in Hebrew. His first statue is 19 ft tall. Why does this new statue have a 🐍 on it? We are mocked every day.
That statue does not look like Kobe.
I thought it was a homeless dude tribute. Kind of creepy looking.
OMG! Same! Might as well be a statue for a homeless dude. Since homelessness is our state mascot.
There already is a statue of Kobe . Why another one? This is getting ridiculous
Can I tear it down?
Because he is a hero and inspiration to millions of us, as a player and as a person. Especially LA is all Kobe
@@ArmandoKozomara Thaaat's Riiiight!!!
Why are you mad? Are you paying for it?
It's an IDOL. We are going back to the Roman Empire days. Sadly.
Omg, ENOUGH!! HE was a sellout and a Narcarsist. He treated his own Mom, Dad and 2 Sisters like dirt !! And his wife is a awful, greedy person too
I feel like it’s getting to be a bit much. I miss the guy too but yeah you’re gonna ruin his memory with all these statues and murals.
Says who? Just cause that’s how you feel
I love Kobe and I love that he's getting honored like this. It's beautiful!!
must be a lebum fan

Because they weren't famous

I thought it was a small child with a homeless dude. Come on now. The dude was a sports player, not a God! No need for a statue.
I’m not a fan of basketball, but many of my friends are, I think this is a really sweet tribute.
Ridiculous. Wake up LA.

We are tearing down statues of our founding father's and great men of faith and raising up athlete's. Something wrong.
False idols. Also notice the snake serpent on the mural.

That looks nothing like Kobe and his daughter.
I heard that's actually Toby Kryant.
I vote this to be the world's worst public art work.
Thanks for your input. Nobody cares
It's beautiful art. No statue actually looks super realistic especially with the faces.
@@ArmandoKozomara perhaps you haven't been to an art museum, or maybe you need to access google images.
