The world is still mourning the loss of one of the greatest basketball players to ever step on a court: Kobe Bryant. As fans of the late legend celebrate his birthday on August 23rd, one of the world's leading recording artists paid tribute to Kobe in a special way.
Canadian superstar Drake, who is currently on tour, stopped in Los Angeles for shows on Monday and Tuesday night. While performing at Crypto.com Arena, the former court of Kobe, a Black Bryant basketball jersey was thrown onstage. Drake recognized the jersey, showing it to the crowd and asking them to show love to Kobe.
"I'm gonna hold this up 'cause we gotta show love to Kobe one time. Ya'll make some noise for Kobe at this time," Drake said.
The City of Los Angeles will be honoring the contributions of Kobe Bryant on August 24th, designated "Kobe Bryant Day". This day will be for the natives of the city to remember the talent and legacy of the man who died in a helicopter crash in 2020.
Kobe played his entire 20-year career as a Lakers player. He achieved great success throughout his career, becoming a five-time NBA World Champion, a two-time Finals MVP, and the 2008 Most Valuable Player. On top of that, he was the youngest player ever to reach 30,000 points and retired from the NBA in 2016, scoring an NBA-season-high 60 points in his final game. In 2020, Kobe was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.
Kobe Bryant was undoubtedly one of the greatest basketball players of all time, and it's clear that his legacy will live on forever.
