The Dodger Stadium was dressed up for an emotional tribute to Kobe Bryant on a night that will be etched in the memory of Los Angeles fans. The Dodgers chose August 8 to honor the NBA legend, in reference to the number Bryant wore during the first decade of his career. The star’s widow, Vanessa Bryant, and her daughters Natalia, Bianka and Capri, were on hand to witness the tribute, which included a rousing ovation from the more than 53,000 fans in attendance.
At a particularly special moment of the night, Bianka Bryant was in charge of throwing the ceremonial first pitch, receiving another great ovation from the crowd. As part of the tribute, the first 40,000 fans who entered the stadium received a bobblehead figure of Kobe Bryant, which was very well received.
Shohei Ohtani switches from pitcher to hitter and shows why he is a generational talent
Kobe’s legacy lives on
This tribute adds to others that the Dodgers have held in the past to honor Bryant, who died in a tragic helicopter accident in January 2020 along with his daughter Gianna
In 2023, for example, fans received a snake-print jersey in reference to Kobe’s famous nickname, “Black Mamba”. The legacy lives on in the heart of Los Angeles and is reverently remembered by one of its most iconic sports franchises.
An attractive duel at Dodger Stadium
The event was not only a tribute to Bryant, but also highlighted an exciting pitching matchup between two of MLB’s all-time greats: Clayton Kershaw and Max Scherzer. The Dodgers came away with a 5-1 victory, with Kershaw turning in a stellar performance by allowing just one run and striking out four batters in six innings.

Aaron Rodgers on Roman Wilson: Steelers are ‘Going to Hold Him to High Standard’
Second-year Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Roman Wilson is turning heads this summer, and that includes the one who will be throwing him passes."I think he’s improving every day. You can’t skew the results from the details. You look at his game the other night, he made a couple splash plays. But we’re going to coach him hard," Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers said about Wilson on Tuesday, according to Pro Football Talk. "His receiver coach, [offensive coordinator] Art [Smith], and myself on the details, because the details are what make the difference. And even though he had a couple of big plays, there’s some room for improvement there."Wouldn’t say anything if we just thought he was going to be a guy, just any guy that you could throw in. But I think he has a chance to be a big-time talent […]
Štybar stále nechápe Evenepoelův konec: Měl dojet do cíle. V Boře se asi škrábou na hlavě
Štybar se pustil do Evenepoela ihned po jeho odstoupení z průběžné třetí příčky ve 14. etapě Tour, jelikož v tentýž den komentoval přenos pro britskou televizi TNT. A jeho kritika vzbudila u cyklistických fanoušků řadu souhlasných, ale i nesouhlasných reakcí.Za svým názorem si 39letý rodák z Plané stojí i nyní. Navzdory tomu, že se Belgičan posléze rozpovídal o trápeních v přípravě i četných zdravotních problémech. „Když už víme okolnosti, situaci to trochu vysvětluje. Ale v daném momentu jsem byl přesvědčený, že měl zkusit dojet do cíle. A za tím si vlastně stojím i teď,“ prohlásil Štybar.„I kdyby chytil 20 minut ztrátu, měl se s týmem rozhodovat až v cíli, jestli závod vzdá. Zbývala už jen nedělní etapa do volného dne. Šanci přežít do pondělí určitě měl, pak se mohl dát trochu do kupy,“ mínil Štybar.Roli podle něj hrála očekávaná změna týmu. „Myslím, že měl v hlavě rozhodnutí, že odchází do Bory. Podle mě to musel vědět. S jeho charakterem […]
