MAMBA OUT: HOW COBE BRYANT SAID GOODBYE TO BASKETBALL?

.

Diego Armando Maradona. And so far. This is probably the complete list of athletes who have passed from this world in recent years, for whom we have mourned close to or even more than Kobe Bryant. We won't compare and we won't argue. We'll just say thank you to both of them and may they rest in peace.

We can talk about Don Diego for a long time, as well as about the legend of the Los Angeles Lakers. This time we're going to focus on one of the greatest basketball players of all time. No doubt! He played only for the "lakes", who vote him confidence without a single season of college basketball. And apparently, the Californians' choice is brilliant. As many as 5 championship rings with the legendary Los Angeles team, 2 NBA Finals MVP awards and 18 All-Star appearances. Just for comparison, on the latter metric, Michael Jordan ends his career with 14, Wilt Chamberlain with 14, Shaquille O'Neal with 15, and so on. The key is that only Kareem Abdul-Jabbar has more than the Black Mamba.

These are just some of the most important details and facts from Bryant's career. She made millions love the orange ball game. Kobe attracted a number of fans for the Los Angeles Lakers and the National Basketball Association. The two-time Olympic champion, who died tragically at the age of 41, does not need more recognition. But he needed a beautiful end to his career.

Season 2015/16. The Los Angeles Lakers are far from their championship seasons and will not be playing in the playoffs. Rival on April 13, 2016 at Staples Center, the Utah Jazz arrive. Everyone knows that Kobe will wear a basketball outfit for the last time in an NBA game. Kobe easily scores 60 points. In the last quarter, he is more productive than the entire opponent after 23:21 in his favor. Lakers win 101:96. Kobe became the oldest basketball player to score 60 or more points at 37 years and 234 days. After the match, an emotional speech from the legend follows. And the final words in it: "Mamba out"! The rest are tears!
