Welcome to the world, little Lakers.
Infants born on Aug. 23 and 24 at the UCLA Santa Monica Medical Center and the UCLA Mattel Children’s Hospital received a special gift from the Los Angeles Lakers.
Families were gifted Kobe Bryant-inspired care packages in honor of the late Lakers legend’s birthday. The packages included baby beanies, onsies and a certificate welcoming them to the world.
“Today just became even more special! The world has always celebrated Kobe Bryant on this day. Now, your growing family has even more of a reason to cherish today,” read the certificate.
Born into the Purple & Gold.
