"It is singularly unique," Andy Kamenetzky told Take Two's Meghan McCarty Carino. "The list currently begins and ends with Kobe Bryant. If you look at the contextual factors creating the situation where Kobe ended up with two numbers retired, it's a safe bet that the list will live and die with Kobe's career. Most players are neither good enough nor have enough of a sentimental connection to a franchise to merit jersey retirement to begin with. In Kobe's case, he won five titles with the Lakers and he's a future first ballot hall of famer."
