Santa Clara will retire Lakers assistant coach Kurt Rambis’ jersey on Dec. 29, when the Broncos host Belmont in the Cable Car Classic.

Rambis, the school’s all-time leading scorer, will join Steve Nash among those to have their numbers raised in the Leavey Center.

Rambis scored 1,736 points in 1976-80 and was named West Coast Conference Player of the Year in 1980 and WCC Freshman of the Year in 1977. He went on to play 14 seasons in the NBA, winning four titles with the Lakers.
