LA announces Kobe Bryant day

[DJ Fieri]

"Los Angeles city leaders have declared this Wednesday as "Kobe Bryant Day," honoring the Los Angeles Lakers icon who played 20 seasons in purple and gold before retiring in April.

The honor, which was announced in a statement Monday, falls on a day that commemorates the two jersey numbers that Bryant wore during his Lakers career: 8 and 24.

Bryant, who won five championships among numerous other accolades, also will be honored for philanthropy work.

"Among his astonishing list of accomplishments, Kobe Bryant's 20-year career with the Los Angeles Lakers ranks him No. 1 all-time for NBA players who played for a single franchise, and '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," L.A. City Councilman José Huizar said in a statement."

According to the Los Angeles Times, Mayor Eric Garcetti has encouraged all bosses to berate their employees to the point of tears on Kobe Bryant Day in honor of Kobe making Smush Parker cry on multiple occasions.

Kobe day should be changed to 6-30, in honor of what his box score looked like last year.

Nailed it.

I'll remember Kobe for all the great stuff he's done, but that last game will not be one of them. You may think about the 60 points, but I think about the 50 (FIFTY!) shots he took. I've never seen anything like it.

They won the game, didn't they?

 

[CitySushi]

They won the game, didn't they?

Yes they did! But the thing is, the outcome of the game never mattered anyways. Either way Kobe was going home after the game. I mean, it's cool if you want to view Kobe's last game as great, I get it. But don't try to justify it because he won a meaningless game, that literally no one would have cared about if it wasn't Kobe's last game.

 

[CitySushi]

Please don't make this about me shitting on Kobe. I hate the guy, but I recognize he's one of the greatest players I'll have ever watched play the game. I was just having some lighthearted fun at his expense.

There is always that one person to kill what was a fun thread

Fuck you!

The haters can hate all they want but if they were honest with themselves......they would have wanted Kobe on their team when he was in his prime.

@CitySushi is clearly not hating. It was said in a joking matter. Unfortunately @Lakers+USC=#1 and @ChiefsLakers67 were the only 2 Lakers fans (who posted in this thread) to pickup on this.
