Julia Cooper, 17, of Poland and a junior at Lincoln Park Performing Arts Charter School in Midland, Pa., is a national finalist for the American Songbook Academy.

Snoop’s gift to Kobe

LOS ANGELES

Kobe Bryant has received a one-of-a-kind retirement gift from rapper Snoop Dogg: a Los Angeles Lakers-themed convertible.

Bryant retired from the Lakers in April after 20 seasons in L.A. He posted a picture on Twitter of him and Snoop standing by the purple and gold car Wednesday.

Snoop Dogg put up some shots of the car on Instagram. Its hood features pictures of Bryant alongside other Lakers greats like Magic Johnson, James Worthy and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. But the biggest picture is one of Snoop himself in a Lakers jersey.

The rapper is a well-known Lakers fanatic.
