City of Los Angeles Declares August 24 As ‘Kobe Bryant Day’

Kobe Bryant is having himself a nice week. Along with announcing a new $100 million venture capital fund, Bean is also getting his own day in the city of Los Angeles.

Wednesday, August 24 is now “Kobe Bryant Day” in L.A. and the date choice is quite fitting considering Kobe rocked No. 8 (August) and No. 24 (day) during his historic tenure with the Lakers.
