VIDEO: Kobe Bryant Scored 60 Points on 50 Shots in Final Game

Kobe Bryant scored 60-points in the final game of his NBA career. And the Lakers won their 17th game of the season, effectively knocking the Utah Jazz out of the playoffs.

That’s a lot of shots. He has another 4 games with 40+ shots in case you were curious.

He also has 5 championship rings. He’s scored the third-most points in NBA history. He’s an 18-time All-Star. Won two NBA Finals MVP awards and one regular season MVP award. He won two Olympic gold medals.

Strictly speaking about his performance on the court, his resume speaks for itself. Sure, it took him 50 shots to score 60 points in his final game, but he scored 60 points in his final game. From his cap-crippling salary to his shot selection, nothing about Kobe has ever been economical.

His final performance was the perfect end to his career. Right down to his last words on the court being “Mamba out.” This was Kobe’s perfect tribute to the career of Kobe’s favorite player, Kobe.
