SANTA ANA, Calif. (CNS)—Orange County supervisors Aug. 11 voted to declare Aug. 24 as Kobe Bryant Day.
Bryant was born on Aug. 23 and wore the number 24 in his playing days, said Orange County Board Chairwoman Michelle Steel, explaining why she settled on Aug. 24 as the date to honor the former Los Angeles Lakers great who died Jan. 26 in a helicopter crash that also killed his daughter and seven others.
