It was bound to happen eventually. Los Angeles gave Kobe Bryant his own day. August, 24th, 2016 or 8.24 will be Kobe Bryant Day in Los Angeles.
It’s very rare that LA loves you. Most of the time LA sucks you dry and moves on to the next but they’ve stuck with Kobe for 20 years. Some weren’t pretty but he’s done what very few can do and that is give Los Angeles memorable moments and long lasting memories.
Kobe will also be recognized for his philanthropy in the Los Angeles area. Particularly, helping the youth and families in need. He and his wife, Vanessa have the Kobe and Vanessa Bryant Family Foundation which encourages youth to stay active.
Check out the full details below.
Congrats to Kobe and Vanessa.
