LAKERS GAVE KOBE AND VANESSA BRYANT DIAMOND 'RETIREMENT' RINGS

Kobe Bryant helped deliver the Los Angeles Lakers five championship rings during his illustrious 20-year career in purple and gold. On Wednesday night, before his final game as an NBA player ahead of his retirement at the end of this season, the Lakers did what they could to return the favor, presenting both Kobe and his wife, Vanessa Bryant, with new diamond-studded pieces of jewelry for the road, courtesy of jeweler Jason of Beverly Hills:
