All of them came to celebrate and honor former Lakers teammate Kobe Bryant.
Each of them had to be at Staples Center on Wednesday night to watch Bryant play his final game as a Laker, to share in his moment, to be a part of his glory just one more time after 20 years of glorious moments.
These former Lakers have won championships with Bryant, drank champagne with him and watched him grow into one of the best players ever in the NBA.
"I'm sure it will be a sad day for a lot of people," said Shaquille O'Neal, who argued and fought with Bryant but still won three championships with him.
