NBA team Dallas Mavericks will retire the No. 24 jersey in honor of Kobe Bryant, who wore the jersey number while playing for the Los Angeles Lakers.
"Kobe's legacy transcends basketball, and our organization has decided that the number 24 will never again be worn by a Dallas Maverick," said Mark Cuban, Dallas Mavericks owner, in a statement posted on Twitter.
"Kobe was an ambassador for our game, a decorated legend and a global icon," said the statement. "Above all, he was a loving and dedicated father."
After Bryant's retirement, the LA Lakers retired both jersey numbers 8 and 24, which Bryant had worn throughout his career.
