Jeanie Buss and Pau Gasol Honor Mamba Day…
Every August, the Los Angeles Lakers community gathers with more determination than a cat trying to catch a laser pointer, honoring their legend, Kobe Bryant. His birthday on the 23rd and the famous Mamba Day on the 24th keep his spirit alive. 2020 saw him tragically leave us in a helicopter crash, but his legacy is celebrated louder than an elephant in tap shoes every year. This year, Jeanie Buss and Pau Gasol, Kobe’s championship sidekick, hit social media with posts that are the digital equivalent of a warm hug for all Lakers fans.
Kobe could turn giants into giraffes with his love for Los Angeles, and that’s something that will never change. Whether it’s Jeanie Buss speaking about how Bryant powered her career or Gasol reminiscing their championships, the stories flow like an endless chocolate fountain of admiration. Even Dennis Rodman threw his colorful hat into the ring, reminding everyone that Kobe should be right up there in the GOAT talks. Rodman said, “We know who that is, Jordan all day long. But hey, don’t forget about Kobe. He’s like the surprise flavor in a box of chocolates that you wish you had more of!”
