Kobe Bryant Murals in Orange County, CA

May 22

Although Kobe Bryant will forever be remembered as a Los Angeles Laker, he actually resided in Orange County for the duration of his NBA career. His wife, Vanessa Bryant, is an Orange County native who grew up in Huntington Beach.

Many locals can recall Kobe visiting local OC businesses and training at UC Irvine’s gym.

Following his death in 2020, murals of Kobe sprang up all across Orange County. You can view a complete list of them below.

BE BETTER EVERYDAY

Anaheim holds a special place for the Bryant family. Vanessa Bryant attended St. Boniface Parochial School in Anaheim. She was a cheerleader at the school, which used Pearson Park as a venue for their football games.

PLAY GIGI’S WAY

Vanessa chose to dedicate this Dream Court with Nancy Lieberman Charities so the Anaheim community may share in continuing the legacy of Kobe and Gianna Bryant, who would be happy to know that boys and girls will now have the opportunity to compete, learn, and play through the game they loved so much.
