The official memorial ceremony for former Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant and his daughter, Gianna, will begin at 10 a.m. PT (1 p.m. ET) Monday at Staples Center and organizers have urged people without tickets to stay away from the arena.







 There are several ways you can watch the memorial service:


As for streaming, the Lakers’ Facebook page will be live streaming the service, beginning at 10:00 a.m. PT, and its website will also be streaming the event. The Lakers’ YouTube channel will be live streaming the event as well.



If you’re looking to watch on TV, NBA TV will be carrying the entire service, according to its website. And if you live in Southern California, several local Los Angeles stations will be airing the event, as well as Spectrum SportsNet, the Lakers’ main television partner. 


The memorial service will not be airing on the large screens outside of Staples Center and near L.A. Live, according to the team, to prevent overwhelming foot traffic. by Sean Burch -The Wrap



Zeidman and Los Angeles Police Department Chief Michel Moore on Friday stressed that the ceremony will not be broadcast on any of the outdoor screens at Staples Center or in the adjacent LA Live plaza.


"This is, to be clear, a ticketed worldwide event at this location," Moore said. "And what that means is, if you don't have tickets and credentials, you will not be allowed into this venue. ... The point there is, do not impact the rest of the Los Angeles downtown community by trying to come here and be part of something that you'll not be a part of."


Moore and Zeidman said they do not anticipate issues of people trying to "crash" the event or cause a disturbance, with both saying the public has shown the utmost respect in the weeks following the helicopter crash that killed Bryant, 41, Gianna, 13, and seven others.


Along with Bryant and his daughter, also killed in the crash were:


-- John Altobelli, 56, longtime coach of the Orange Coast College baseball team, along with his wife, Keri, 46, and their 13-year-old daughter Alyssa, who was a teammate of Gianna on Bryant's Mamba Sports Academy basketball team;


-- Sarah Chester, 45, and her 13-year-old daughter Payton, who also played with Gianna and Alyssa;


-- Christina Mauser, 38, one of Bryant's assistant coaches on the Mamba Academy team; and


-- Ara Zobayan, 50, the helicopter pilot.
