Los Angeles Lakers legend Kobe Bryant and his daughter Gigi Bryant passed away more than three years ago in a tragic helicopter accident, but their memory is still very much alive and well, especially among those in the NBA community.
The five-time NBA champion and Hall of Famer was able to create a massive fanbase for what he was able to accomplish on and off the basketball floor and has become that much more of an icon in the years since he passed.
Along with other NBA stars like Kyrie Irving, LeBron James, Anthony Davis, and Jayson Tatum, Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown is the latest to show some love to the Bryant family, as he dedicated a basketball court to the former NBA superstar and his daughter in Boston, according to Gary Washburn of the Boston Globe via ClutchPoints.

Ever since that tragic day in 2020, murals and basketball courts paying tribute to Kobe Bryant have popped up all over the world, and that trend continues, with Brown putting one up in Boston of all places.
In February, the tributes will continue for the NBA legend, with the Lakers set to give him the bronze statue treatment outside of Crypto.com Arena, where he entertained fans of the storied franchise for two decades and helped raise five championship banners in the rafters.
That’s bound to be a sad yet satisfying day for the Bryant family as he will be immortalized in bronze along with other Lakers legends like Shaquille O’Neal, Magic Johnson, Jerry West, Elgin Baylor, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
