The eighth annual Kobe Bryant Day is on Saturday, Aug. 24.
will be held on Saturday, one day after the Los Angeles Lakers All-Star shooting guard's 46th birthday. Following his retirement from the NBA in 2016, former Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti dedicated Aug. 24 to Bryant. The date honors the No. 8 and No. 24, which were the two numbers he donned across his double-decade NBA career.
The Mamba & Mambacita Sports Foundation, led by Bryant’s widow Vanessa Bryant, commenced the week by releasing a collection of purple and gold merchandise called “LA Royal”. The colors represent the Lakers, which was a team that Bryant won five NBA championships with. In addition to Kobe Bryant Day and Mamba Week, other organizations in Los Angeles have begun participating in commemorating the 18-time NBA All-Star.
The Dodgers have also created their own way to pay tribute to Bryant through upcoming weekend festivities at their next three home games. On Friday, Dodger Stadium will have a Lakers-theme drone show to celebrate the legacy of Bryant along with the 2020 NBA champions.
