Celebrating Kobe Bryant: Dodgers Jersey Giveaway and Locker Auction
The Los Angeles Dodgers are set to celebrate the legacy of Kobe Bryant, the iconic Lakers player, with a special jersey giveaway event. On August 25, 2024, fans attending the game against the Tampa Bay Rays can receive a jersey honoring Bryant’s illustrious career.
The unique jersey will bear the numbers 8 and 24, representing Bryant’s tenure with the Lakers, along with the team’s logo and his initials. Unlike previous years, the jersey will be available to a broader audience of 40,000 ticketed fans. Enthusiasts are encouraged to arrive early to secure this coveted memorabilia.
In addition to the jersey tribute, Kobe Bryant’s personal locker from the Staples Center is up for auction by Sotheby’s. This piece of sports history, where Bryant celebrated his triumphs, is part of the ALTITUDE Capsule Collection and could fetch between $1-1.5 million. The auction is a unique chance for collectors to own a part of Bryant’s storied journey in basketball.
The Bryant family has previously participated in Lakers Night at Dodger Stadium, with Kobe’s daughter Natalia throwing the first pitch last season. Fans hope to see the family return for this year’s tribute event.
