Video game company saves Kobe and Gianna Bryant mural in downtown Los Angeles

A larger-than-life mural of Kobe Bryant and daughter Gianna will remain on the wall of Hardcore Fitness in downtown Los Angeles for at least another year. The video game company 2K Games, which features the late Lakers legend on the cover of "NBA 2K24," helped reach an agreement to save the beloved mural. Cecilia Moran, the gym's owner, told The Times in September that her landlord wanted the artwork removed by the end of the month so the space could be used for advertising. A change.org petition to save the mural received more than 90,000 signatures. Ronnie Singh, head of lifestyle and content marketing at 2K, announced his company's deal to help preserve the mural Monday on ESPN's "NBA Today."
