Our top NBA betting pick for February 8th (2024) is centered around the Nuggets at Lakers game for a number of good reasons. This would be a very special night not just for fans of these two teams, but for the entire sports world. What would make this night so different is the fact that Kobe Bryant's statue would be unveiled in front of the Crypto center along with the other Laker greats that have been commemorated thus far, including Magic Johnson, Elgin Baylor, Kareem, and Shaquille O'Neal. Unveiling Kobe Bryant's Statue There is absolutely zero doubt that Kobe Bryant's statue is well deserved. The only sad part is that he won't be there to see it following his tragic passing in the helicopter crash with this daughter Gianna and four other flight members. Some say that Giana will be included in the statue and opinions are divided whether she should feature or not. I'd say that the image above taken after his fifth title could well serve as the inspiration for his statue,
