Kobe Bryant and his daughter, Gianna Bryant, are being remembered in an event that will touch fans around the world.
A Celebration of Life for Kobe and Gianna Bryant, a special memorial ceremony put on by the Los Angeles Lakers and Kobe's Mamba & Mambacita Sports Foundation, will honor the late NBA legend and his 13-year-old daughter at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on Monday, Feb. 24. Kobe, Gianna, and seven others -- John, Keri and Alyssa Altobelli, Sarah and Payton Chester, Christina Mauser and Ara Zobayan -- were killed in a tragic helicopter crash last month.

Staples Center, affectionately known as "the house that Kobe built," is where the basketball legend spent most of his 20-year NBA career playing for the Lakers. The date of the memorial itself, 2/24/20, also holds special significance in that it represents Gianna and Kobe’s jersey numbers, with 20 representing both the amount of years he spent as a Laker and how long he and wife Vanessa were together.
Here's everything you need to know about the memorial.
