Kobe Bryant jedan je od najboljih košarkaša svih vremena, iako će još uvijek mnogi na prvo mjesto staviti legendarnog Michaela Jordana, koji je briljirao devedesetih. Kako bilo Kobe je sinoć doživio veliku čast te je za života postao legendom.
Naime, na poluvremenu utakmice između LA Lakersa i Golden Statea LA Lakersi su službeno umirovili dresove s brojem 8 i 24, naravno, u čast Kobea Bryanta. Takav podvig do sada nikome nije uspio, pa čak ni Jordanu. Niti jednom košarkašu do sada niti jedan klub nije umirovio dva dresa.

Bryant je u trenutku podizanja dresa izašao na centar i sve to promatrao, dok ga je publika pozdravila zasluženim ovacijama. Bryant je na svečanost stigao helikopterom. Uz njega je bila i njegova obitelj.
