Mamba Rules LA! 
Aug. 24—8/24—symbolizes the two jersey numbers that Bryant wore in his career. |

Extremely cool.
Magic and Cap should have chosen their numbers more wisely...  |

38 years old? Man, what happened to that cocky kid who wore sunglasses on his head to the press conference announcing he was making the jump from high school to the NBA? 
Happy Birthday KB24.

Los Angeles Declares August 24 ‘Kobe Bryant Day’
| Quote: | | More than that, though, this is yet another shining example of Kobe’s lasting impact. Bryant not only left his imprint on the Lakers, but on Los Angeles as a whole. He’s an icon, a hero, and one of the most important sports figures in the history of the city. For a place that has so much history rooted in the sports world, that can’t be undervalued. |

Congrats Mamba. 8/24 Kobe Bryant day in LA. Also known to the haters as Don't Pass (bleep) day. Pass the salt ... No get it yourself. Lawmakers can't pass any law on 8/24. Do it tomorrow. You can't pass slower drivers. You gonna be late. You better not even pass gas. Uh Oh...

Awesome.
No joke my cousin from Chicago pitched this date while we were at a laker game v Chicago. I loved how 8/24 sounded and I texted my friend who works for an LA City councilman. He told me today, he texted him this suggestion months back during last season.
He said it was all me, who knows, doesn't matter. Maybe I contributed a little to this great day!
When I saw this thread and that date I was excited. I don't see this friend all the time so it was a pleasant surprise. |

| Just a suggestion, the mods should have a stickied "Official Kobe Bryant Thread" to post random Kobe news, videos, and memories. We're all gonna be reminiscing heavy when the season starts. |
