The video played on the Humongotron during the first quarter at Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse.

Plenty of fans in attendance were wearing Bryant jerseys, shirts and other merchandise to recognize the basketball legend. The Cavaliers have honored Bryant since Sunday with purple and gold lights at the Fieldhouse, along with pictures of him. 

Larry Nance Jr. wore No. 24 to honor Bryant. They were teammates with the Lakers during the 2015-2016 season.
