"House of Kobe" officially opened same day Kobe Bryant died

A day before Kobe Bryant’s death, the City of Valenzuela inaugurated on Sunday this Lakers-inspired basketball court now called “House of Kobe.”

Congressman Eric Martinez, a diehard Kobe Bryant fan, told the Manila Bulletin: “Noong speech ko nga kahapon sabi ko sa microphone, I’m calling on Kobe Bryant na if babalik siya sa Pilipinas please visit Valenzuela City.”

The court is located at Barangay Karuhatan, Valenzuela City and is open to the public.
