His individual highlights include an 81-point game against the Toronto Raptors in 2006 (the second-most points in a single game in NBA history, behind only Wilt Chamberlain's 100), and a 60-point performance in the final game of his career in 2016. The Lakers retired BOTH of his jersey numbers — #8 and #24 — in 2017, an unprecedented dual honor reflecting the two distinct eras of his career.
