Dodgers to Honor Kobe and Gianna Bryant This Sunday
Kobe Bryant will always be remembered in Los Angeles as an icon. He was so much more than just a basketball player, he meant everything to this city. Not only did he bring five NBA Championships to LA, but he taught us a lot in the process. The Dodgers have always had a special connection with the Bryant family.
Kobe’s 42nd birthday would have been this coming Sunday. He and his daughter Gianna tragically perished in a helicopter crash in January that rocked the entire city. In honor of Kobe and Giann, the Dodgers will honor them prior to the game on Sunday against the Rockies.
The Dodgers will be honoring the memories of Kobe and Gianna Bryant during pregame ceremonies on Sunday on what would have been Kobe's 42nd birthday. Live coverage of the ceremony will begin at 12:40 p.m. PT on @SportsNetLA.
