Los Angeles city officials declared Aug. 24 "Kobe Bryant Day" to commemorate the Los Angeles Lakers great, who wore the numbers 8 and 24 during his 20 seasons with the team.

Los Angeles Dodgers players Justin Turner and Joc Pederson joined in on celebrating the day.

Turner hasn't been shy about his appreciation for Bryant in the past. When Bryant played his final NBA game in April, Turner tweeted a picture of himself decked out in Mamba gear. Pederson's hat, which reads "live like a champ," seems fitting for a day honoring Bryant, a five-time NBA champion.
