Kobe Scores 60 Pts To Cap 20-year NBA Career

NBA Star Mr. Kobe Bryant scored 60 points in his final game last night against the Utah Jazz to cap his 20 years in the NBA. It was an unbelievable offensive show in Los Angeles with the Lakers beating the Jazz 101-96. Kobe scored 23 points in the fourth quarter. This is his first game he scored over 50-point dating since February 2009 and the Lakers came back from a 15-point deficit to win the final game of their worst season in franchise history.

“It’s hard to believe it happened this way,” Bryant said. “I’m still shocked about it.” With the entire Staples Center crowd standing, Bryant drained a 3-pointer with 59 seconds left. He hit another with 31 seconds to play, putting the Lakers ahead 97-96. He finished with an assist before checking out for good with 4.1 seconds left in just the Lakers’ 17th win. “The perfect ending would have been a championship,” Bryant said with a smile. “But tonight was (me) trying to go out, play hard and try to put on a show as much as I possibly could. It felt good to be able to do that one last time.”

Bryant and his teammates conspired for one last omnivorous scoring performance by the third-leading scorer in NBA history. Bryant played 42 minutes and took a career-high 50 shots, his teammates attempting to set him up for points on nearly every possession. He also had four assists and four rebounds in his highest-scoring performance since getting 61 against New York in 2009.
