Kobe Bryant Lakers
In this powerful image, Kobe Bryant is captured walking off the court after his historic 81-point performance against the Toronto Raptors. His Lakers jersey is drenched in sweat as he strides confidently towards the locker room, a slight smile of satisfaction on his exhausted face. The crowd stands in ovation behind him, while the scoreboard displays the final score of 122-104 and Bryant's astounding 81-point total. His body language tells the story of the night - shoulders slightly slumped from exertion, but head held high in triumph. Bryant's eyes shine with intensity, reflecting the fierce determination that fueled this legendary performance. Teammates trail behind, visibly awestruck, as the image encapsulates a defining moment in NBA history.

Sunday is an emotional day for the Los Angeles Lakers, their fans and NBA community as a whole, as it is when Kobe Bryant would have celebrated his 42nd birthday.

Bryant, along with his daughter Gianna and seven other passengers, tragically passed away in January when their helicopter crashed into a hillside in Calabasas. The group was en route to a youth basketball tournament at the Mamba Sports Academy, which has since been renamed The Sports Academy.

Tributes for the five-time champion are expected throughout Sunday, and again Monday, with Aug. 24 — or 8/24 — being deemed Kobe Bryant Day in Orange County, city of Los Angeles, and universally accepted elsewhere.

Spectrum SportsNet is going to honor Bryant on both Sunday and Monday, with several hours of programming that highlight his storied career with the Lakers. Among the notable moments that will be revisited are Bryant’s top plays and games, three-peat with Shaquille O’Neal and of course his final time suiting up for the Lakers.

Sunday also marks the start of “Mamba Week,” during which time Nike is re-releasing a limited edition jersey and multiple pairs of the Kobe 5 protro. Additionally, the Lakers are expected to wear the “Black Mamba” City Edition jersey, designed by Bryant, on Monday for Game 4 against the Portland Trail Blazers.
