Last night (April 13th), Kobe Bryant's 20th and final season came to a close and in true Mamba fashion, the Los Angeles Lakers legend went out with a bang scoring an unbelievable 60 points and setting a slew of new records including the highest-scoring game in the NBA this season and the most points ever by a player in his final NBA game.
"We are here to celebrate greatness for 20 years, excellence for 20 years. Kobe Bryant has never hated, has never cheated us, the fans," Magic Johnson said. "He's played through injuries. He's played hurt. And we've got five championship banners to show for it. When you think about this town for the last 20 years, this man has been the biggest and greatest celebrity in this town. He is not only a great sports icon, he is the greatest to wear the purple and gold."
After putting on a final show, Bryant addressed the sold-out crowd. "I can't believe its come to an end. Thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. What can I say? Mamba out"
