Happy Kobe Day!
It's August 24, 2016. That means the calendar says it's 8/24. That means it's Kobe Bryant Day, as announced this week by the city of Los Angeles. If you've never been schooled, #8 and #24 are the two jersey numbers The Black Mamba wore in his record 20-years with the Los Angeles Lakers. And if you're really late to the class ("Bueller?") and need to be reminded why we're celebrating, check out the list and the highlight video below and the rest should figure itself out..
- 5x NBA Champion
