Kobe Bryant has been retired for four months, and yet the accolades continue to roll in. On Wednesday, the City of Los Angeles will hold "Kobe Bryant Day" with the date 8/24 representing his two jersey numbers. The Los Angeles City Council announced the decision Monday.
Councilmember José Huizar, Council President Herb Wesson and Councilmember Curren Price, will honor Lakers' great Kobe Bean Bryant at its City Council meeting Wednesday by declaring August, 24, 2016, "Kobe Bryant Day" in the City of Los Angeles. Bryant, who retired last season by scoring 60 points in his final NBA game, amassed 33,643 points (3rd all-time) in a 20-year career with the Lakers, along with five NBA titles, 18 All Star appearances and an NBA MVP.
