The memorial service was scheduled to begin around 10 a.m. local time, but it was recently announced that it would be delayed by about 30 minutes. It can be streamed here, through CBS News.

In addition to Bryant, the service will also honor his 13-year-old daughter Gianna, both of whom perished in a tragic helicopter crash on Jan. 26.
