Kobe's final game came on April 13, 2016 and it was an absolute spectacle, a fitting conclusion to the Black Mamba's basketball career. The future Hall of Famer put up 60 points on 50 shots in front of a star-studded crowd that included a plethora of NBA legends and celebrities. However, as Bryant explained after the game, the best part was being able to put on a show for his kids.

“The coolest thing is that my kids actually saw me play like I used to play,” Bryant said. “It was like, ‘Whoa, Dad!’ I said, ‘Yeah, I used to do that.’ They were like, ‘Really?’ I was like, ‘Dude, YouTube it.’ ”

Relive the magic tonight at 9pm ET on ESPN.
