From Santa Monica Close Up:
" Honoring Kobe Bryant's Legacy 🏀✨ The Santa Monica Pier Ferris Wheel lit up in vibrant purple and gold on August 24th, a beautiful tribute to the legendary Kobe Bryant in the heart of LA.
Today, we celebrate Kobe Bryant Day, a day also known as Black Mamba Day or Mamba Day. This special date, August 24, was chosen to honor Kobe's jersey numbers, 8 and 24, as well as it being the day after his birthday on August 23. He would have turned 45 this year.
Kobe's impact on the game of basketball and the city of Los Angeles is immeasurable. Starting his NBA journey at just 17, he dedicated an incredible 20 years to the Los Angeles Lakers. In 2018, he launched the "Mamba Sports Foundation," now known as the "Mamba and Mambacita Sports Foundation." This foundation is all about creating positive opportunities for underserved young athletes, regardless of gender, helping them chase their dreams on and off the field."
