Make no mistake, the tragic loss of Los Angeles Lakers legend Kobe Bryant still reverberates around the NBA world. Kobe was truly one of the most idolized and beloved figures the league had ever seen and his sudden passing is still felt today with many of the game’s top stars mentioning him and the Mamba Mentality as something they channel to succeed.
August 24 is known as ‘Kobe Day’ but the day before is Bryant’s actual birthday and it always brings an outpouring of love and remembrance from those close to him as well as many who just idolized everything he did.
