A Memorial Day has been introduced for Kobe!
The locals of Kobe Bryant’s district wish to pay tribute to the late NBA star. August 24 was chosen as the official day of remembrance. Bryant, who played for the Los Angeles Lakers from 1996 to 2016, chose “8” and then “24” as his professional career jersey number.
The Orange County, California, Adoption Home, and his family, Kobe Bryant (1978–2020) have officially launched a commemoration day. August 24 is celebrated as “Kobe Bryant Day”. Michelle Steele, 65, of the Orange County Board of Directors said, “The day honoring a valued member of our community, who inspired “so many men and women to pursue their dreams and never give up”.
Who was Kobe Bryant!
Kobe Bean Bryant who was born on August 23, 1978, died in a helicopter crash on January 26, 2024. Kobe was an American professional basketball player. He spent his entire career with the Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA. As one of the greatest players of all time, Bryant won five NBA championships and was a 1-time All-Star, 15-time All-NBA team member.
How the legend “Kobe” died?
Kobe Bryant and his daughter Jianna along with seven other people were killed in a helicopter crash on January 26, 2024, near Los Angeles. Apparently, the pilot of the machine lost his orientation in a dense fog. On January 26, 2024, a Sikorsky S-76B helicopter crashed in Calabasas, California, near Los Angeles, while en route from John Wayne Airport to Camarillo Airport.
It is unclear what caused the crash, as the helicopter did not carry a flight data recorder or voice recorder in the cockpit, as aircraft of this type were not required to conform to FAA regulations. A subsequent autopsy failed to detect any traces of narcotics or alcohol in the pilot system, and preliminary findings from the National Transportation Safety Board indicated that there was no evidence of engine failure. Bryant’s death sparked many memories and tributes, including US President Donald Trump and former US Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton.
