During Friday's game against the Atlanta Braves, the Los Angeles Dodgers paid tribute to late LA basketball icon Kobe Bryant by hosting "Lakers Night" with specific emphasis on Bryant, including touching tributes and ceremonies throughout the evening.
Instead of the usual firework show, the Dodgers put on a spectacular drone show as a tribute after the ceremonial pitch. The show featured some of Bryant's career highlights and lit up the night sky above Dodger Stadium.

Natalia Bryant threw out the ceremonial first pitch wearing a white Dodger jersey with Kobe's No. 8 on the front and No. 24 on the back. Natalia's pitch was caught by Dodger all star Mookie Betts, who also wore a Kobe Lakers jersey over his Dodger uniform.
The entire Bryant family showed up Lakers Night at Chavez Ravine to honor Kobe and support sister Natalia including Vanessa, Bianka and Capri.
