On the first anniversary of Kobe's departure, to commemorate him, Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban announced that the team will permanently seal the No. 24 jersey.
The team’s official social media also posted a video of Kobe and his star Doncic hugging and greeting on the court, and wrote: “Recalling Kobe and Gigi a year later, our thoughts will always be with Bryant. With the family, the Dallas Mavericks will never use the No. 24 jersey again."
"We are shocked and sad at the departure of Kobe and his daughter Gianna. Kobe is an ambassador for our basketball game, a Legend and global icon. Most importantly, he is a caring father.” Cuban wrote in a statement, “Kobe’s historical status has surpassed basketball, and our team has decided to retire the No. 24 jersey. ."
In the history of the team, a total of 5 players have worn this number of jerseys, the most famous being the three-time All-Star players Mark Aguirre and Richard Jefferson.
and the current team has only retired 3 numbers, Derek Harper (No. 12), Brad Davis (No. 15) and Rolando Blackman (No. 22).
Cuban likes Kobe very much. He once revealed in the show: "Originally in 2007, the Lakers and Mavericks had reached an agreement on the Kobe deal. At that time, I thought we had got Kobe, and I and Buss has discussed it, we have reached an agreement, Kobe is ready to come to us. But Jerry West went to talk with Kobe for a while, and directly terminated the transaction."
In addition, Cuban was also the first boss to openly support the replacement of the league logo with Kobe, because he felt that the significance of Kobe's existence far exceeded basketball itself!
Kobe is to Cuban, what Jordan is to Riley, there are regrets between the two that can be thought of but not obtained, only heroes and heroes.
This is strength to win respect,Greatness will eventually be remembered!
The human touch of Cuban is so sincere to other teams, and he is full of love for the stars of his own team.
Especially the soul of the team "German Chariot" Nowitzki.
The old "driver" was not as strong as before, and the team was recruiting troops to rebuild. He voluntarily cut his salary, but Cuban directly gave him a maximum salary. He also said: "It doesn't matter how others are, but Dirk must get the maximum salary. Otherwise, I can't blame myself and the total amount you brought to Dallas. Championship trophy!"
At the retirement ceremony of Nowitzki, Cuban gave him three promises that made the "old driver" weep.
"I promise you a lifetime job, no matter which position you like."
"I promise your jersey will be retired."
"I promise to build you the largest statue in history. Thank you Dirk, it’s hard for us to meet someone like you."
and help the former lone ranger player Delonti West who is suffering from mental illness and plagued the streets to recover.
In September last year, Cuban met West at a gas station in Dallas and took him to a local hotel to rest. On Christmas Day, let West reunite with his mother and spend the holidays with his family.
Later, he was given a job while recovering at the Rebound Rehabilitation Center in Florida.
Do you think there is such a good boss in the world?
The treatment of Lone Ranger veteran Barea has nothing to say.
The veteran was abandoned. It was originally a sad story. However, before abandoning him, the team gave him a one-year veteran contract of $2.6 million. To thank him for his dedication in the Lone Ranger for 11 seasons.
How can you not love a boss like this? In this business alliance, Cuban is like a clear stream, allowing us to see a fairy-tale warmth.
