Kobe Bryant and daughter Gianna memorialized with statues at helicopter crash site

[BK The Great]

That was coming whether he died or not. Probably in the next few years

Hopefully not too long from now.

 

[Diondon]

Damn

 

[Rekkapryde]

Thats kind of disrespectful to the other victims

yeah, I kinda feel the same way.

Is their family not free to commission and build statues for them, if they so choose?

Kobe was the icon and superstar. That’s who we remember. That’s who people care about. If Kobe wasn’t on that plane, no one would be “remembering” them. They would be long forgotten already. Them dying with Kobe will have them memorialized forever. Y’all can keep pretending otherwise if you wanna live in make believe land. Every time I see someone saying this on Facebook stories concerning this statue, it is LITERALLY always a middle aged CAC

 

[MikelArteta]

fukk them other ppl too I guess

their names are engraved on the statue below

 

[King Poetic]

RIP LEGEND AND BABY GIRL

not the point.

 

[MikelArteta]

the statue is not even going to stay there it was just a memorial on the second anniversary. More than a likely it will probaby be something like what john denver has

 

[Mowgli]

The face looks weak. Who did this?

 

[Sonic Boom of the South]

Gandhi Bryant

It’s a nice gesture but very strange. None of the other victims… literally on the crash site… who’s venturing out there to see it? What if it’s vandalized? Don’t think this was necessary at all
