These professional athletes were in awe of Kobe Bryant’s farewell game
60?!?!
In the final game of his NBA career, Kobe Bryant erupted for 60 points including the game-winning shot to seal the Los Angeles Lakers’ 101-96 victory over the Utah Jazz. It was just the seventh time in his career he had reached the 60-point mark.
Athletes around the entire sports universe had their own reactions to the insanity taking place at the Staples Center on Wednesday night.
