L.A. City officials are having discussions about how to best honor Kobe Bryant ... and naming a street after him might just be a perfect tribute!

It's certainly possible ... we're told L.A. City officials are having discussions on how to honor the late Lakers superstar and naming a street after Kobe is definitely up for consideration.

Look, no official decisions have been made -- it's still early in the process -- but we're told L.A. City Council members have already started the conversation. One source tells us something that keeps getting brought up is some sort of tribute in the L.A. Live area -- right across from Staples Center, where Kobe balled out for nearly 20 years.

We're told there should be more clarity about the plans early next week -- but it's definitely top of mind.

They should rename The Staples Center in his name.

That would be nice ❤️

Rename Staples Center to Kobe Center 🤷🏼‍♀️

Didnt he have a mistress? Cheat on his wife? Buy her a huge rock to make up? Dog lane

Your hero is dead and you still won't leavemealone Hollywood Hollywoodfrommylife Wheresmymoney Godsweatherandevents Have all/any of those people in front of a camera stopped fakesobbing for attention yet KobeBryant

That’s what’s up😍😍😍😍

We are also starting a petition in Orange County to get a street named after stutteringjohnm for more info listen to the International famous

Kobe Angeles CA

Let the grass grow on him

👏👏👏👏👏

Helicopters overall safe to fly in. Helicopters vs small planes? Helicopters crash a lot more because they fly low to ground. lot of crashes in fog. Kobe flew in heli A LOT increasing chances. His accident will be due to pilot flying in bad weather. All to commmon heli accident.

Just name everything after him OMG 😢😢😢

Also. Staples Center = Kobe Bryant Arena

Figueroa is one of the longest streets in all of LA. Do it!

That metoo movement was just laid bare for what it really is.

FOX5Atlanta I hope it's a nice street without garbage.

Nope not necessary. Stop with the lies he's no saint.

He deserves a city or small zip code!

need to do this while they living.

Well this a nice gesture by l.a. since the league won’t put him in their new logo

Should name the Staples Center to Kobe Bryant arena!!!!!

And people swear there is no such thing as black privilege lol. Let me know when the outrage is for death of an asian person.

That's cheesy

Kobe Bryant Way

Kobe Ave, GIGI Ave

Ridiculous, at this rate every street will be renamed ten times over. Get a grip.

Change LA to KOBEWOOD...

Find a street that is 24th and 8th... rename both

Kind of late but ok

How about KOBE WILL GET A STREET named after him! Just a matter of time

he never used streets tho

Olympic should definitely become Mamba Street

A statue, a street, a holiday, everything!

How hasn't this already happened This should have happened years ago 🤦🏽‍♂️

This will be great !👍

FOX5Atlanta a street? they should rename a city after him

Why they wait until he dies 2 do that? I hate when they do stuff like that. Do that stuff when they're here. I'm happy but it's sad at the same time😔😢. Love Kobe RIP!

Colorado Blvd

double lined, no passing

Should have one here in Philly too 😢

Gone but not forgotten. R.I.P

That rape tho. Y’all California / Hollywood elites are funny

Mamba Lane

should have two intersecting streets one named Kobe Ave and the other called Byrant Ave..

Nooooo the staples center

Discussion should last 10 seconds

😭😭😭 He deserves it!

Talking about naming streets & changing logo & building statues etc for Kobe. If he was that great & deserves all this for everything he's done in basketball charity's & community. Then why WASNT ANYONE or ALL of them DONE while he WAS ALIVE. Do u have to DIE to know your WORTH

What the Bryant family deserves is TMZ to back off. Have you not disrespected them and the other families involved enough. Go back to reporting on the Kardasians since they don’t seem to mind.

🙏🏻

omg, just stop

Why tho?

They should also name a street after him in Edwards, Colorado. Ignoring stop signs and red lights is not only tolerated but encouraged. Just apologize, pay a fine and you’ll be on your way. Kobe Perspective Deification

Just because he died!!!! Why wasn't it givin when he was alive

Is it a dead end street or a mountain pass way 🏔🚁💥 KobeWasARapist

Street? Give that man a whole city!!

Yesss !! Pico Blvd it’s near staples center 💛💜💛💜💛💜💛💜

Is it a good message to send out that you can commit adultery,have rough sex perhaps borderline rape,and still have a street named after you?We know he wasn't convicted of rape,but his moral compass is a bit off for this sort of accolade,surely.

Omg. Smh. Move on already. I’m surprised I haven’t read anything about a fucking holiday yet. But I’m sure it’s coming.

It’s named Colorado Blvd.

nah, do better. one of those big ass Freeways needs it 101 aka The Kobe Bryant Expressway

He should

Just a street.. not a county

Insane. Sorry for all the victims. Kobe could shoot the rock but was also admitted on camera to cheating on his wife in 03 He paid the victim off to keep his image. Just what we need to name streets after him. Unreal. His wife filed for divorce in 2011. 👎

Name the city after him

I have a disctrict in my command right now in fort lauderdale..give kobe his street.

Man let’s go!!! And turn it into a Kobe parade!

We need to celebrate the lives of the others lost.

Ok they might be going a little too far

It should be Figueroa....the metrolosangeles bus that runs threw there is 81 and right next to STAPLESCenter

Could get? Correction; HE WILL GET!

City of angels for real

How about Rapist Avenue?

MzBossTx How about you stick to telling widows their family has passed so they can't learn in a respectable way...

Appropriate

How about naming streets after all the soldiers that have died protecting our freedoms. KobeBryant was just a basketball player.

Dude ain't even had his funeral yet!! I hate y'all

Staple Center should be Kobe Bryant - Staple Center so that Staple doesn’t lose its advertising

Whatever

😍

They couldn't have done that while he was alive?

As he should...

Kobe deserve it. TMZ just deserves to be cancel from everywhere.

Awesome

It better be Kobe Drive! Or Kobe Court

😢

Do it

Off a FWY, should be exit 24 Kobe Bryant Way

As he should!!!!

I endorse this message

This dude deserves a whole county or city

Kobe's Court

👍💜💛

Mamba Road

How about LAX becomes KBB?

The 110 Freeway runs past LA Live. Instead of The Harbor Freeway, call it The Kobe Bryant.

Predicted Programming 2016

What about AriShaffir having a street named after him for being SO CLEVER AND FUNNY!?!! Especially for his pathetic version of an apology UNFUNNY ARI EVERY YEAR!!!!!

That is the least they could do for the man

Let me guess the family dosent know yet right tmz until they see this

Kobe bryant way like in Anaheim Gene Autry way

He already has a park in NYC named after him. Bryant Park.

Can we stop with the knee jerk reactions please?

We expect more

Change the 405 because it runs from LA to Orange County so it touches everyone

Just a street?

reggio emilia named a square after him

🙏🏻

Figueroa.

Michael Jackson didn't get no kind of street named after him Virgo.......... But they did talk about it for 24 hours.

Why? 🤣

He should be the statue of liberty of L.A

That’s smart, even open up a public school real talk

no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no......... Remember hes a VIRGO and when it's all said and done....... Zodiac is gonna make sure people born in September are never recognized........... Because they are not saints.

Really? think Kobe beef is already enough

That would be great

Yessssssssss

Kobe should get a street named after him. So should TMZ, though. Douchebags Blvd. has a nice ring to it.

Change 5th street to Kobe Bryant Ave. in representation of his number of championships

Absolutely beautiful

That shit would be dope

I hate and love TMZ all at the same time.

Bryant Way.
