As the 2024 Summer Olympics wrapped up in Paris, all eyes turned to Los Angeles, the host city for the 2028 Games. This marks the third time L.A. will host the Summer Games, with the 1984 Olympics being a shining example of success in popularity and revenue.
But there’s more to the story this time around. Late Los Angeles Lakers legend Kobe Bryant played a pivotal role in returning the Olympics to his beloved city. Though tragically gone for four years, Kobe’s presence is still deeply felt.
With a stunning mural unveiled in downtown L.A., Nike recently paid tribute to the five-time NBA champion and two-time Olympic gold medalist. The mural in front of The Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel and Hotel Figueroa features the caption “No Time To Lose,” perfectly capturing Kobe’s relentless spirit.
This tribute is more than just a mural—it’s a reminder of the legacy Kobe left behind and the drive that still fuels L.A. as it prepares for the 2028 Olympics. His spirit is alive and well in the City of Angels.
