Sports fans know that Monday, December 18th isn't just a typical Monday.
Monday is #Ko8e24 Day and the Lakers will retire Kobe Bryant's legendary numbers with the defending champion Golden State Warriors in town.
The future Hall of Famer was dominant in both numbers, so it's fitting that both will be hanging in the rafters when the night is done.
Ahead of what will be an incredible ceremony, Kobe took to Twitter to share his love letter to the game of basketball.
We asked for his hustle and he gave us his heart. Kobe's legacy transcends the basketball world and whether you cheered for him or against him, you have to respect him and the kind of competitor he was and still is.
Kobe will never be forgotten, and the jersey retirement Monday night is further proof of that fact.
