East LA basketball court gets a Mamba makeover in tribute to Kobe and Gianna Bryant
A refurbished basketball court at a Los Angeles park was unveiled Monday after getting a purple-and-gold makeover in a tribute to Kobe Bryant and 13-year-old daughter Gianna.
The court at Atlantic Avenue Park in the East Los Angeles area was refurbished by BodyArmor sports drink and The Mamba and Mambacita Sports Foundation. The court features a design with colors and symbols that honor legacies of the Lakers great and daughter Gianna.
The purple-and-gold court has the phrase “Play Gigi’s Way” on a sideline and a “Kobe & Gianna Bryant” logo surrounded by butterflies at mid-court. The 24 and 2 inside each free throw circle are nods to their jersey numbers.
