Kobe Bryant's legacy will live on in the Staples Center.
The Lakers will retire the superstar's jersey number on Dec. 18 when the team hosts the Warriors, TMZ Sports first reported Tuesday.

According to the report, the Lakers have yet to confirm the pre-game ceremony, but the organization had previously sent a letter to season-ticket holders stating the Dec. 18 matchup against Golden State would feature a "special event."
It also remains to be seen if the team will retire his No. 8 or No. 24 jersey — or both.
Bryant, 39, retired from the NBA at the end of the 2015-16 season after spending his entire 20-year career with the Lakers.
