Kobe Bryant, His Wife And Beautiful Daughters All Watched His No. 8 And 24 Lakers Jerseys Being Retired Last Night
"Mamba Out."
Kobe Bryant's Christmas gifts came early last night in the form of his two Los Angeles Lakers jerseys — No. 8 and 24 — being retired by the storied franchise and lifted into the Staples Center's rafters.
Best of all, the five-time NBA champion enjoyed the unforgettable moment surrounded by his family: wife Vanessa and three daughters, Natalia, Gianna, and baby Bianka.
Take a look at some of the sights and sounds from last night.
Here's the moment that the Lakers immortalized the Black Mamba's No. 8 and 24 jerseys
Bryant did help deliver three championships to the Lakers, rocking No. 8, and two more as No. 24, warranting both jerseys being retired.

Beautiful family moment!
