On Monday night, the Los Angeles Lakers celebrated the career of one of the greatest to ever lace 'em up - Kobe Bean Bryant. The Black Mamba had a jersey retirement ceremony where the Lakers, in unprecedented fashion, retired both Kobe's #8 and #24 jerseys. But before the festivities could begin, Kobe would arrive at Staples in style only suitable for one of the game's all-time greats.

Kobe said in addition to this being a special night due to his jersey's being retired, that this would be his first time back at Staples since retiring two seasons ago.

Check out the clip above of Kobe arriving at the jersey raising ceremony in a helicopter. (Sidenote, the video is 24 seconds long)
