Long lines of people wait to enter the Staples Center, many of them wearing purple and gold colors of the Los Angeles Lakes, Kobe Bryant’s only basketball team of 20 years.

The NBA legend wore two numbers during his career, 8 and 24, so it is fitting this celebration of his life is on the 24th of February. His daughter, Gianna, also called, Gigi wore number 2, so 2/24, today, honors them both.
