The only ones getting their asses kicked are the Warriors. We own them at Staples, at least one game every year.

A jersey retirement sounds very likely. You'd think it would have to be Kobe.

Seems a little quick...but such is the world these days.

They're obviously going to retire Marcelo "Warrior Killer" Huertas' jersey during halftime. It's only fitting.

traditionally Lakers wait for a player to go into the hall of fame before they retire the jersey.. at least under Dr buss that's how they did it.

Shaqs they huried because they wanted Dr. Buss to see it happen but sadly he passed before the ceremony

Retire 8 this season. Retire 24 next season ! Don't do them both at the same time.

I think it's Odom signing and retiring as a laker.

KOBE THE RETURN

Well.. TMZ say its Kobe's jersey retirement:

Christmas is coming early for Kobe Bryant -- the Lakers are planning to retire his jersey before the Warriors game on Dec. 18 ... multiple sources tell TMZ Sports.

The Lakers aren't officially acknowledging it -- but the team sent a letter to Lakers season ticket holders advising them to "hold on to your tickets for the game on Dec. 18" for a "special event."

We've made some calls and everyone's saying the same thing ... it's Kobe's big night.

The big question ... which number will go up in Staples Center -- #8 or #24 ... or both? (Our money's on both).

Didn't Magic have his jersey retired before his comeback?

Yup. No need to wait. This isn't Jamaal Wilkes.

In 1992. But that was probably due to wanting him to be alive for it in the days when HIV was commonly a death sentence.
