Lakers players in attendance at the event wore special "Black Mamba" jerseys -- which Kobe inspired, and which originally debuted during the 2017-2018 Lakers season.
The jersey included the number 2 jersey of Kobe's daughter Gianna above the Nike swoosh in a white heart shape. The Lakers again wore the "Black Mamba" jerseys on February 8, 2024, against the Denver Nuggets, this time in honor of Bryant's statue unveiling at Crypto.com Arena.
The date of the unveiling — 2/8/24 — incorporates the No. 8 and No. 24 jerseys Bryant wore with the Lakers and the No. 2 that his daughter Gianna wore on her youth basketball team.
The City Edition jerseys will be available for purchase Nov. 14 at the team's online store and in person at the Team LA store at Crypto.com Arena or the Lakers Team Shop in El Segundo.
