Kobe Bryant is undeniably one of basketball's all-time greats, and certainly one of the most dominant players to ever suit up in the Los Angeles Lakers' purple and gold. On Monday, Bryant will have not one, but two jerseys retired. He was one of the best players on the court whether he was wearing the number 8 or the number 24, so the Lakers have decided to retire both. 

When a player has the honour of getting their jersey retired, they often send out a note to their fans thanking them and embracing the moment. On Monday, Bryant posted a different kind of retirement video involving a sunset, puppets, and LeBron James. ​

Puppet LeBron doesn't seem to be very comfortable with the teachings of his elder, Puppet Kobe, but we're sure he'll have his own unique way of showing appreciation when his #23 is raised to the rafters.
