From Lower Merion High School to a 20-year career with the Los Angles Lakers. Kobe Bryant finished his 20-year career last night against the Utah Jazz. Kobe Bryant gave fans what he had given them for the twenty years of his NBA career amazement. Kobe started off the game slow starting out 0 for 5. But, you can never hold down the black mamba down for too long. Kobe went on a hot streak and ended the first quarter with 15 points.
Kobe returned to the game with little over 6 minutes left in the second quarter. He continued to put shots up. Kobe ended the half with 22 points. Most people thought he would run out of energy but I knew he was just getting started. Kobe finished the 4th quarter scoring 23 points and ended up bringing the Lakers back from a 15 point deficit to beat the Utah Jazz.
