Kobe Bryant mural revealed in 'NBA 2K21 Neighborhood'

Kobe Bryant's presence in the new "NBA 2K21" video game is heavy, and there's plenty of special things to honor the Los Angeles Lakers legend.

While Bryant was revealed as the cover athlete for two different versions of the game dubbed the "Mamba Forever" edition -- current and next-gen consoles -- he's also been honored with a mural in the "Neighborhood" game mode. 

2K revealed a new teaser for the game mode on Friday, showing off a Bryant mural in the "2K Beach Neighborhood," which is a play off of Venice Beach. 

The "Neighborhood" is where players can interact with other gamers, customize their player, compete against other players on the court and much more. 

The mural joins the many real-life murals that have popped up in the Los Angeles area following Bryant's death. 

The game is set to drop on Sept. 4.
