The Bryants are deeply tied to the city of LA through their shared love of sports, largely because of Kobe Bryant. He spent 20 seasons playing for the Lakers, winning five championships. Bryant played 1,346 games, averaging 25.0 points, 5.2 rebounds and 4.7 assists for his career, shooting 44.7%.

He retired in 2016 as an LA sports legend before his death in a helicopter crash in 2020 along with his daughter Gianna Bryant. Half a decade after his death, Bryant is still honored and celebrated by the city of Los Angeles.
