Kobe Bryant ends his career with 60points at his NBA final game




Basketball legend Kobe Bryant, 37, finished with 60 points in his final game of his career, leading the Lakers to a great win 101-96 over the Utah Jazz at the staples center. Kobe didn't start the game well, but later got into the swing of the game.

"This has been absolutely beautiful," Bryant said afterward, right before a yellow confetti storm took place in the arena. "I can't believe it's come to an end." Kobe said at the end.

Kobe played the final game of his 20-year career on Wednesday, ending an era with five championships, 18 All-Star game appearances. His 1,556th and last box score showed a stunning 60 points on 22-for-50 shooting in a 101-96 Lakers victory over the Utah Jazz.

The crowd cheered him on and they couldn’t care about the final score, cheering him loudly every time Bryant he scored during his 42 minutes.

“Man!” he exclaimed after the game when handed a microphone at midcourt. “I can’t believe how fast 20 years went by. This is crazy. This is absolutely crazy.
“We’ve been through our ups and we’ve been through our downs. I think the most important part is that we stayed together throughout.”

His wife Vanessa Bryant and his two daughters were with him, during his final game on Wednesday night.
