After playing with the Los Angeles Lakers for 20 years, basketball superstar Kobe Bryant retired in 2016. This week, the Lakers honored the all-star by retiring not one, but two jersey numbers. Nick Dimengo, Senior Editor at FHM Magazine, explains why the Lakers made the unusual move of retiring two numbers for one player. He also discusses where Bryant falls in the annals of basketball greats. Basketball isn't the only sport on the agenda. In football news, fans are still outraged over a controversial call during the close game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and New England Patriots last weekend. Steelers Tight End Jesse James' touchdown was deemed not a catch, which gave the game to the Patriots. Dimengo breaks down what is and is not a catch in today's NFL.
