Los Angeles Lakers fans around the world continue to mourn the tragic loss of Kobe Bryant, his daughter Gianna Bryant, and seven others who passed away in January. With Bryant’s 42nd birthday taking place on Sunday, and Kobe Bryant Day on Monday — or 8/24 — , plenty of tributes continue to be made.
Orange County joined in this year, officially making Aug. 24 “Mamba Day,” while Nike continues to release a series of Kobe V Protro sneakers — as well as a Mamba Edition jersey — to honor the late legend. This was coupled with a sizable donation to the Mamba and Mambacita Foundation.
