The first Italian basketball team that Kobe Bryant's father played for retired the Lakers superstar's jersey to the rafters in a pregame ceremony Wednesday. Then a gold Lakers' jersey with Bryant's No. 24 was lifted to the ceiling of the PalaSojourner arena as a recording of Bryant's lineup introduction from his NBA playing days was played. Rieti was where Joe Bryant, Kobe's father, made his Italian basketball debut in 1984.
