Larry Nance Jr. was a rookie during Kobe Bryant's last season in the NBA .

Larry : "The joy on people's faces when they got to see Kobe in person for what they realized was the last time is just something I'll never forget" Nance: "All he asked of us was everything we had. That was it. And I can't imagine what could take the place of that".

Larry : "I'm not an emotional person. When I found out, I didn't cry, it was just a very solemn feeling that I got. It hit me during the national anthem and it just ate me up. I hadn't cried to that point. It just happened. I can't tell you what happened in the game. I don't know whether we won or lost. There was just something bigger going on.

Larry : When we played the next home game, for the first half , I saw a few guys doing it, and I wore 24 .

And I've still got that jersey just because it meant something to me.
