Los Angeles Lakers owner Jeanie Buss reacts to Kobe Bryant's second statue.
The Los Angeles Lakers unveiled the second statue outside of Crypto.com Arena in dedication to late Lakers Hall of Famer Kobe Bryant. This statue depicts the moment of Kobe sitting court-side next to his daughter Gianna Bryant at the last Lakers game they attended.
The statue does this especially with the plaque in front of Kobe and Gianna that calls Gianna an "inspirational icon for girls in sports" and Kobe a "proud supporter of women in sports." The statue also features a quote from "Most Valuable Girl Dad" Kobe that reads, "Gianna is a beast. She's better than I was at her age. She's got it. Girls are amazing. I would have five more girls if I could. I'm a girl dad.
The Bryant family became strong supporters of women's sports over the year, which Vanessa Bryant credited in large part to Gianna's success as a youth basketball player.
