Playing in the final game of his illustrious 20-year career, Kobe Bryant put on one of the best shows in basketball on his way out of the NBA on Wednesday night.
The 37-year-old star went out with one of the greatest farewell performances of any player in any sport, putting up 60 points in a 101-96 victory over the Utah Jazz. He became the first player in NBA history to end a career with a 50 plus point game, and he broke that record.
Kobe Bryant made his NBA debut as an 18-year-old fresh out of high school. He went scoreless in the game.
Last night, the five-time champion, third all-time leading scorer, and 18-time all-star played the last game of his career in an emotional send-off to the Los Angeles Lakers great.
Hakeem Olajuwon, Jay Z, Kanye West, David Beckham, Lamar Odom, Steve Francis amongst other celebrities were present at Staples to watch Bryant while many others took to social media to give their farewell.
