‘Kobe Bryant Day’ is the City of Los Angeles’ way of thanking him for his single-minded dedication to excellence, the fans and the entire City and region of Los Angeles. For 20 years, we were all the beneficiaries of Kobe’s incredible talent & legendary work ethic, and on 8-24 we’ll gather to say, ‘Thank you, Mamba.’
Kobe Bryant 正式從 NBA 退休了，退休後的他也開始蓄鬍，並準備拓展自己的事業版圖，而今日 8 月 23 日更是老大 38 歲的生日，效力達 20 年的洛杉磯城市也準備了一項大禮給黑曼巴，洛杉磯政府要將 8 月 24 日設為「Kobe Bryant Day」，靈感來自他在湖人的兩個背號－8 與 24。洛杉磯市議員 Jose Huizar 表示：這日子是為了感謝 Kobe 對洛杉磯的長年付出，並為了傳承 20 年來 Kobe 展現的天賦與偉大事蹟，我們將在這天，一同感謝 Kobe。
Busy week for Kobe Bryant. Rings the bell at NYSE this morning. Now, L.A. City Council set to declare Wednesday — 8/24 — Kobe Bryant Day.
