Arguably the most popular athlete to play in Los Angeles, the Dodgers are commemorating Lakers superstar Kobe Bryant with a bobblehead giveaway on Friday, Aug. 8, when they host the Toronto Blue Jays.

The bobblehead features the late Bryant with his iconic no. 24 jersey, with a pair of his signature Zoom Kobe 6 Protro Dodgers sneaker, and him holding a bat from the left side of the plate. The release date will be on Aug. 8, commemorating the iconic no. 8 jersey he wore during the Lakers’ dynasty of the early 2000’s.

For the first time in his career, the Lakers star is on an expiring contract. He should follow Kobe Bryant's lead and enjoy the final act, writes Bill Plaschke.
