I'm kind of in favor of Kobe and Gigi sitting courtside

prevnextThis is nice but Lisa Leslie's statue should be up there after Kobe's

I like it!

prevnextGreat sentiment, but I disagree. Maybe create something else commemorating GiGi, but fans don’t want to be reminded of the tragedy every time we see his statue. It’s too much.

Love this idea. Or maybe this... pic.twitter.com/1Y72B3hQzT

Like having two numbers retired, maybe they should do two statues. One for the fierce bball competitor (maybe the dunk over Nash or the "I Got This" gesture in 2000 finals when Shaq fouls out) and a second statue with the above (Kobe Dad and Gigi).

prevnextGigi was going to change women’s sports forever. As a dad of two little girls, I’m positive my girls would’ve grown up idolizing her in the same way I did Kobe.

prevnextIf he’s got two retired jerseys, he can get two statues. One for his accomplishments on the court, and the other for his inspirations off the court.

Two statues. This being the first with her wearing a 2 and he an 8....and a second solo full 24 uni in an iconic pose. (Arms open with ball?)

prevnextShould be him on the scorers table with one of his arms out and the other around her. It’s the perfect moment.

Maybe Gigi should get her own or one where she’s playing to recognize her ability beyond her father’s shadow

prevnextAs much as I agree something like this should be a monument somewhere in LA.. I don’t think staples center. A solo Kobe statue I think makes more sense.

Should have a memorial for both, maybe matching eternal flames, but Kobe the player needs his own statue outside

prevI love the sentiment, but personally, I don’t want to be reminded of the tragedy every time I look at his statue. There are other ways they can be immortalized together. As far as female representation, Lisa Leslie would be a great statue addition to Stars Plaza!
