On the second anniversary of their sad deaths, a statue of Kobe Bryant and his daughter Gianna was dedicated.
It’s been two years since NBA great Kobe Bryant and his 13-year-old daughter Gianna were tragically killed in a car accident. A temporary monument of Kobe and Gianna Bryant was constructed at the disaster site by Los Angeles-based artist Dan Medina to remember the Bryants and the seven other victims of a helicopter crash on January 26, 2020 near Calabasas, Calif.
Gianna, who is clutching a basketball and is staring up at Kobe Bryant, is shown in the bronze statue with her arm around Bryant, who is wearing the Lakers outfit. Gianna Bryant, who died together with her father while going to a minor basketball competition, was similarly decked up in the sport’s garb.
The base of the monument now has the names of Kobe and Gianna Bryant, as well as the seven other people who perished in the disaster. Legends are everlasting; heroes come and go, but they never die.
As of Wednesday, Medina was hauling the Kobe and Gianna Bryant monuments up an embankment. On the other hand, Medina intends to take it down before sundown in order to campaign for a chance to construct a bigger, permanent replica.
A monumental statue would be an appropriate tribute to honour Kobe Bryant’s illustrious career in the NBA. He played with the Lakers for two decades, winning five championships, the scoring title twice, being named to 12 all-defensive teams, and being selected to 18 all-star games.

about Kobe Bryant
Kobe Bean Bryant (August 23, 1978–January 26, 2020) He played his entire NBA career as a shooting guard with the Los Angeles Lakers, where he played for 20 years (NBA). A five-time NBA champion, an 18-time All-Star, a 15-time All-NBA Team member, and a 12-time All-Defensive Team selection, Bryant is widely considered to be one of the greatest basketball players of all time.

Bryant, who grew up in Philadelphia and Italy, was the finest American high-school basketball player at Lower Merion. A 1996 NBA draught choice of the Charlotte Hornets, he was later transferred to the Los Angeles Lakers after declaring for the draught as the son of former NBA player Joe Bryant. By the time he was a sophomore, Bryant had established himself as a high-flyer by winning the 1997 Slam Dunk Contest and becoming an All-Star. Shaquille O’Neal and Kobe Bryant led the Los Angeles Lakers to three straight NBA championships from 2000 to 2002, despite a long-running dispute. Accusations against Bryant were withdrawn in 2003 when the accuser declined to testify, and the case was resolved out of court, with Bryant delivering a public apology and confessing to sexual contact he insisted was consensual.

Afterwards, O’Neal was moved, and Bryant took over as the team’s main player. In the 2005–06 and 2006–07 NBA seasons, he was the league’s leading scorer.

Dear Basketball, his 2018 Academy Award-winning short animated film, was the winner of the Best Animated Short Film category (2017).
