As a Hall of Famer with an illustrious career, including five NBA championships, two NBA Finals MVPs, and numerous accolades, Kobe’s legacy is indelible. He played his entire career with the Los Angeles Lakers, where he etched his name in the annals of basketball history. His unforgettable 60-point performance in his farewell game in April 2016 was the perfect culmination of his incredible career, leading to the retirement of both his No. 8 and No. 24 jerseys.
