Michael Strahan Pays Tribute To Kobe Bryant on 'Fallon' & Reveals Giants Will Retire His Jersey Number!

Michael Strahan took a moment to remember Kobe Bryant while making a guest appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Monday night (January 27).

“Excellence,” the 48-year-old GMA host and former football player said of Bryant‘s enduring legacy. “Maximizing everything you do every day. Put your family first. Be a great father and a great husband before you worry about being great at anything else. And I think as great as he was as basketball, he realized that the other things (in his life) was as important for him, and he had all those things balanced.”

“Excellence is the word I think of when I think of Kobe,” Michael continued. “And commitment. And always maximizing everything in your life.”

While on the show, Michael Strahan also revealed that the Giants will retire his No. 92 jersey. “It’s going to be really emotional,” Strahan said of his upcoming jersey retirement ceremony.
