The Lakers: Is Kobe Bryant Worth All Of This Fuss in L.A.?

It is a little over a year now since Kobe Bryant called it a day and, after five NBA titles, retired from basketball. Earlier this month, the Lakers announced that they would be retiring not one but two jerseys, worn by Bryant—he wore numbers 8 and 24—during his time playing at the Staples Center. "As a kid growing up in Italy, I always dreamed of my jersey hanging in the Lakers rafters, but I certainly never imagined two of them," Bryant said.
