As the basketball world grieves the tragic death of NBA legend Kobe Bryant, teams and fans around the league continue to search for ways to pay proper respect.
Utah Jazz players Emmanuel Mudiay and Miye Oni will do it by giving up their jersey numbers, as part of a movement that may pave the way for Bryant’s Nos. 8 and 24 to be retired league-wide.
Bryant, who along with his 13-year-old daughter Gianna and seven other people were killed in a helicopter accident on Sunday in California, wore both 8 and 24 during his two decades in the NBA.
