Yesterday was Kobe’s birthday and today is Kobe Day. The 20-year Lakers Legend made a name for himself in not one, but two jersey numbers: 8 & 24, on this day Kobe fans celebrate all he brought to the game of basketball and beyond.
To honor Kobe, the Lakers and UCLA Health joined forces to gift newborn families born on 8/23 and 8/24 with No. 8 baby beanies, Lakers swaddle blankets, and three, adult No. 24 Kobe t-shirts. Two t-shirts are for family members and the last one is for the baby to grow into.
Life is unpredictable, but the Lakers will always be a constant.
