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.

Bryant was an avid Dodgers fan and often attended home games at Dodger Stadium. The team also gave away custom Bryant jerseys last season that featured his No. 8 on the front and his No. 24 on the back. It had a "KB" patch on the sleeve and a snake in recognition of his Black Mamba nickname.

The first 40,000 ticketed fans for the Dodgers' matchup against the Blue Jays on Aug. 8 will receive the bobblehead.
