Kobe Bryant was in high spirits during the Lakers' 2009 media day, celebrating their recent NBA title and anticipated success for the upcoming season. Captured in promotional photos, he humorously posed with a baseball bat and a foam finger while wearing his Lakers uniform. Recently, the Dodgers paid tribute to Bryant with a bobblehead giveaway and special jerseys for fans in 2023-2024. This commemorative effort included honoring his contributions to both sports teams, following the tragic helicopter crash that claimed his life in January 2020.
On Thursday, the Dodgers unveiled a Bryant bobblehead that seems to have been inspired by that day nearly 12 years ago. The late Lakers legend is wearing his basketball uniform, holding a bat and standing in a batter's stance.
The team also honored Bryant by giving fans special Dodgers jerseys designed in his honor at one game each in 2023 and 2024.
