Kobe Bryant Amazing last 3 minutes in his FINAL GAME vs Jazz (04/13/16)

- LOS ANGELES (AP) Kobe Bryant scored 60 incredible points. He carried a miserable Los Angeles Lakers team to an improbable comeback victory.
And with sweat and confetti all over his gold uniform for the final time, he expressed humble thanks to his fans and family for their loving support over two decades.
"What else can I say?" Bryant asked. "Mamba out."
Now that's a Hollywood ending to a remarkable career.
Bryant utterly dominated his final game Wednesday night, wrapping up 20 NBA seasons with one last offensive showcase in the Lakers' 101-96 victory over the Utah Jazz.
He scored 23 points in the fourth quarter, posting his first 50-point game since February 2009 and rallying the Lakers from a 15-point deficit to win the final game of the worst season in franchise history.
It was messy, ridiculous and magical - even to the man who did it so many times over 20 years.
"It's hard to believe it happened this way," Bryant said. "I'm still shocked about it."
With the entire Staples Center crowd standing, Bryant made a 3-pointer with 59 seconds left. He hit another with 31 seconds to play, putting the Lakers ahead 97-96. He finished with an assist before checking out for good with 4.1 seconds left in just the Lakers' 17th win of the season.
"The perfect ending would have been a championship," Bryant said with a smile. "But tonight was (me) trying to go out, play hard and try to put on a show as much as I possibly could. It felt good to be able to do that one last time."
Bryant and his teammates conspired for one last omnivorous scoring performance by the third-leading scorer in NBA history. He played 42 minutes and took a career-high 50 shots, his teammates attempting to set him up for points on nearly every possession.
Kobe came up with the fifth highest-scoring game of his career. He became the oldest player to score 50 points in an NBA game.
The entire night was a tribute to Bryant, who is retiring after 20 seasons, five championship rings and 18 All-Star selections with the Lakers, who honored him before and after the game. Bryant is just the fifth player in NBA history to play 20 seasons, and the first with just one team.
"I think the most important part is that we all stayed together throughout," Bryant said to the crowd. "You'll always be in my heart, and I sincerely, sincerely appreciate it. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I love you guys."
He also had a few laughs after finishing his 1,346th regular-season game with 33,643 career points.
"The thing that had me cracking up all night long is, I go through 20 years of everybody screaming to pass the ball," Bryant said with a grin. "And then the last night, they're like, `Don't pass it!"'
It was daylong tribute with thousands of fans thronging the downtown streets around Staples Center and chanting his name from early afternoon. Fans lucky enough to get inside Staples Center greeted him with ovations at every opportunity. Magic Johnson anchored a brief pregame tribute by calling Bryant "the biggest and greatest celebrity we've had in this town for 20 years" and "the greatest to wear the purple and gold."
Bryant embraced his roles as a hero and villain throughout his career, and he mentioned the duality in describing his outlook on sports afterward. He had rocky times in Los Angeles, from his sexual assault charge in Colorado in 2003 to his feud with Shaquille O'Neal, who watched the finale at courtside.
It was all forgotten by the time Bryant took the Staples court for the final time.
After blowing kisses and pounding his heart before the game, Bryant got right to work on what the fans wanted to see. He didn't count on the nerves that caused him to miss his first five shots before he pump-faked and finally connected on a jumper.
Bryant found a rhythm then, finishing the first quarter with 15 points on 13 shots. He kept it up after sitting out the first six minutes of the second, finishing with 22 points despite missing a last-minute shot, his 20th of the first half.
"We weren't trying to let him go off on a win," said Joe Ingles, who guarded Bryant closely. "As it goes on, it will sink in more, and what he did was pretty impressive. He made some tough shots, too. I don't think we gave him any open looks. He was obviously pretty hyped up for the game. Forty-two minutes and 50 attempts will get you 60, apparently."
TIP-INS
Lakers: Bryant surpassed his previous career high of 47 shots, taken in a loss to Boston on Nov. 7, 2002. ... Los Angeles has missed the playoffs in three straight seasons, the longest drought in franchise history. ... Bryant shot his 10,000th free throw to complete an early three-point play. ... Jordan Clarkson's 12 points were the second-most by the Lakers. - Sport
The craziest part about this is that they were down 10 with 2 minutes left. Kobe made sure he wasn’t going out with an L.
iirc jazz needs this win to enter playoff. So it was a serious game for them.

Him passing the ball at the end, as if he passes it to the next generation .. kobe will be remembered as a legend in nba history.
No shit
You’re reaching lmfao. But yea i somewhat agree ig cuz kobe was known as a ball hogger and his last play was a pass.
He was known as illNeverPass 🤣🤣
That's what you call god working through an individual. You interpreted correct to me
He was a vessel
Even at 38 he was able to bring it home for us one last time 😢 appreciate all the memories
I knew once he got going towards the end he wasn’t leaving the floor for the last time with an L. Especially with how bad the Lakers stunk that year. RIP Mamba! 🙏🏿

@@jimmyjames24 down ten with 2:16 to go
wrrr
They gave it to him, let him score 60 in his last game. Get real.
It's a shame people try to diminish this performance because it took him 50 shots to get 60. This was the last game of a sports legend who wanted to entertain his fans and give them something to cheer about one last time but people wanted to criticize his field goal percentage. Those people got to be miserable. This guy was pure greatness.
It was like 44% who can criticize that?
It was scripted. Courtside fans got a kobe toy helicopter in the beginning of the game. L
@@aSpeakerOfTheTruthis that true seriously? I really want to know that seriously
@@williamchitty6875actually his career shooting percentage. Crazy because people can't see the fact that he literally came in and went out the same. 44% all while taking the most difficult shots in NBA history. Dude is legendary

I wasn't a fan of his as a player. I am a Pacers fan. But every time I see a Kobe video or article it is hard not to think about the day Kobe and his daughter died. Even I had a knot in my throat after hearing the news. What a sad day. RIP
this game was 3 years before his passing man
When I feel like giving up, this video will always inspire me to go forward.

He dedicated whole life to the game. By the time he just retired and about to enjoy his life, and he is gone. The reality hits us hard. Thanks Kobe.
He lived a total life by giving everything he got. When one gives 100% to whatever then it a a beyond enjoyment. That one is living in the moment. Living a heavenly life on earth.

Right before he shoots his last free throw you can hear Gigi say “Go Dad!” My heart is hurting man.

Means a lot coming from a C's fan. Even bitter rivals can respect a legend. Cheers.
this was a moment for all sport's fans to enjoy , doesn't matter who you're a fan of
4:30 you can hear Gianna saying “go dad” as Kobe was taking the shot

my favorite part about all this is his last play of his career, after 20 years of everyone telling him to pass the ball, is an assist.
Love it.

He threw a touchdown pass lol
He was always accused of not fraternizing, and now he is fertilizing.
@@lightronv *crickets
This is the single greatest finish ive ever seen in a basketball game. I said that after I watched it live and i stand by that to this very day. Rip kobe
Reminds me a bit of when Andrew Johns (the Michael Jordan of Rugby League) recovered and came back after a terrible injury and gave probably the best performance ever in the toughest competition in the game.
Not a big basketball fan, but these few minutes were magic. 1:10 was just beautiful. Rest easy, Kobe. Your impact reaches beyond the court.
There’s an interview where Kobe was talking about having a bad game as a kid where he didn’t score a single point. And his father told him “it doesn’t matter if you score 0 or 60, I’ll still love you no matter what” so the fact he dropped 60 his last game is really crazy. #RIPMAMBA
Facts. It was also this moment where his work ethic was born. Love from his father which grew into self love and passion.
But his dad couldn’t even love him after he decided to marry a white girl.
@@ha5541 she’s Latina and yeah the irony
@@ha5541 , yeah that was fucked up. She is a Latina though.

This man didn’t crack a smile until the end. He was so focused and determined on one thing and that was making an impact before stepping out that arena. Just beautiful. Rest In Peace Kobe & Gigi. ❤️
Didnt bitch or beg either!
@adamgrimes yea he was washed up he stayed a few years too long
I didn't realize Kobe's final game was so gargantuan
haha is ok！
He was a killer!
I come back and watch from time to time.
Me too
Kobe knew how to make his fans have a connection the game and his game on an emotional level in a way that other players couldn’t. Never cheated the league nor the game
I watch this live at the school cafeteria and everyone was sooo hyped when Kobe took that leading shot. People just hugged each other and going crazy. I am so grateful for having this memory. RIP.

Everyone was smiling, amazed at what they were witnessing. Being down 10 with two minutes left on the clock. The clutch free throws at the end. I mean, regardless of how you may feel about basketball, and person who’s a fan of sports should put this in the top 10 of greatest sports moments of all time. Knowing what I know no, I wish I payed that expensive price to go see the game in person. Rip Kobe, we miss you.

Moved to tears for some reason while watching this one tonight
5 years later this still brings tears to my eyes. Rest in peace

Rest in peace kobe 🙏
Same dawg
This is such a great memory man. Kobe was drafted a Laker, died a Laker, and left it all on the court.
Man, I can’t believe it’s already been 5 years
This wasn’t garbage time, this wasn’t a defense being lax to let someone finish their career nice, this was one of the greatest competitors in history showing exactly why he was. This man was a testament to what you can make yourself with drive and commitment. I have seen this numerous times, i know the shots are going in and I’m still on the edge of my seat losing my mind. This was magical, and while the world still misses Kobe it’s amazing the mark he was able to make.
Not to ruin the moment, but...... this was a Jazz team who were eliminated from the playoffs the night before and clearly weren't trying their "best" defensively. They allowed multiple baskets from Kobe without much resistance. I love this game from Kobe as much as anyone because of what it meant in the moment and posthumously... but to say the Jazz were "trying" is laughable.
Laughable is the fact that u dint even see the game and u keep comment
ah nope, this was clearly the jazz team giving it up for kobe, shit aint even close.
Nah. this was the Jazz giving a freebie to the 13th all time great.
@@chili015 actually the Jazz's season hung on this very game to barely make it in the eighth seed.they didn't because of 24
Kobe Bryant, real deep dude, RIP 😭💔, respect 💪.
Man this gets me emotional every time. Kobe Gigi forever
I started tearing up when I watched Gigi clapping and celebrating with her mom and sisters. The whole situation is so tragic.
why cant people just let this go and reflect on his amazing career. people are so negative these days its almost disrespectful
@@Jdm02.nz. People cant let this go cause they cant let it go. They simply stated that it was sad. Also, you're being pretty negative to criticize someone for feeling emotion over someone who passed away. You're way more disrespectful.
@@Jdm02.nz. gotta agree with sarah adams here mate. no need to virtue-signal and showcase how awesome you consider yourself.
@@Jdm02.nz. so if somebody close to you died, you better not get emotional. Your mom dies, you’re not allowed to tear up when watching videos of her. Essentially what you’re saying rn. What a bad take 😂 L
yess
God damn, I’m tearing up watching this. His passing was just announced.
ikr
I can’t even say anything 😪😪😪
Adam Leon certainly a tough pill to swallow 😓
😭😭
Dude I can’t stop watching this I cry and miss him but it’s like he’s saying in heaven stay strong
-Kobe Bryant
Man I miss watching him play, true legend KB
I just want to know if someone else feels emotional watching this.
RIP KOBE❤
Nope
God this video hurts so bad but he really left an amazing legacy. Thank you Kobe
True man 😔🙏🏽
You're so right...watching it again hits differently now. Happy and sad at the same time. #ripKobe
Dude shouldn't have gon into the helicopter #Tuff
Its almost like a Hollywood ending. Couldnt have been written better. Miss you Kobe.
Could have won a championship that year . Great ending , but no defense at all they were just showing respect to Kobe .
@@MrLand2U??????
@@chubthedub1510 yeah this guy has some brain issues not worth listening to him
@@Artistboxing Dude the Jazz legitiamtly missed the playoffs because they lost this game. Last game of the year and they dropped to the 9 spot and the Rockets beat them to the 8 spot by 1 game. They absolutely needed this game to keep their season alive. Watch at 1:10 they are doubling him - they did for most of the last 3 minutes and he just torches them. Somethings are just written in the stars.
@@Artistboxing can you give an example? It looked like they were defending him pretty closely
This crystallizes why the debate should have always been between MJ and Kobe. They both were made from the same stuff. Just assassins on the court. We truly were blessed to witness such greatness in our lifetime
Legendary. There are no other words.
Still remember tuning into this game and putting it on the background while doing homework, thinking it'd be a regular farewell game. Watching it unfold was absolutely insane
Needless to say, dog ate your homework right? 🤣🤣
The fact that he had subpar performances prior to this and then watching him hit consecutive shots like that in crunch time and making a huge comeback to win it was thrilling to say the least
I expected Bruce Wayne to be siting courtside tbh :P
What a lot of people don’t remember is this was the same night the warriors got win number 73. I was at a Buffalo Wild Wings and for the first half, we were torn between the two. By the fourth quarter, the whole bar demanded Kobe be put on almost every TV. It was a surreal basketball night for those who caught it live.
@@brandonrice2833 yup I remember switching between both games, remember it like it was yesterday
Anyone else noticed that on Kobes last FT attempt, Hayward intentionally tried to get a free throw violation just in case kobe missed that FT. He wanted Kobe to get that 60th point. RESPECK
I just realized that
Swoldier Jan nah you stupid
Rudy Garcia wdym
nah. just a player anticipating a release. it happens all the time.
@@Chambalero watch it again... kobe is standing completely still... that wasnt a flinch moment..
The man was at the zone for one last time. You can see how tired he was and he gave it all! Rest in paradise my GOAT.
This makes me so emotional
Look at everyone's smile, even the camera people sitting recording. Crazy impact this man had, very rare to see. Hustle and dedication like none other.
And then crazy people place king bronze above Kobe

It's actually not rare at all. There's a new -Fill in the Blank- every 5 years. Nike picks them.
It’s a tradition to come and watch this every once in awhile
Yes
Yeah man I come back at least 2-3 times a year to watch. Man I remember watching this game live it was amazing. Best night in sports history. Kobe’s last game, and warriors break the wins record all in the same night
happy birthday kob
GOAT! Forever missed.
Last assist of Kobe Bryant was to Jordan Clarkson for a dunk.
Kobe was a good passer
L L yes Jordan Clarkson will be the next kobe bryant 😑
@@limit0040 ummmm what?
@@LL-sg3lq dumbest shit I read
@@BasedLyfe21 its true he average decent amount of assists
This choked me up so hard seeing his wife and kids watching Kobe dominate, I've never seen anything like this in my life, unbelievable,R.I.P
Sad sure. But lets be honest, Kobe is overrated. He is more like modern day DeRozan, not nearly as good as LeBron
@@mclovin4974 Your hella messed up dude, he was the GOAT and still is the GOAT
Where ya think lebron learned from
50 shots taken. What a JOKE.
@@txcbones GOAT lol, not even close. He is GJCOAT, Greatest Jordan Cosplayer of All Time.
I've been so lucky to be able watch and experience so many greats in all kinds of different sports. Montana, Rice, Bird, Magic, Brady, Maddux, Ichiro, Ohtani, Lebron, Jordan, Woods, Gretzky but I still believe the greatest competitor of them all was Kobe.
I could live another 100 years and I doubt I will see another competitor like Kobe.
I remember debating with my friends on wat game to watch. Kobes last game or watch the warriors break the record. 2 to 1. Greatest decision of my life! Rest easy to kobe gianna and the other passengers on that helicopter! #mambaout!
Love how he embraces his teammates after that assist for the dunk. Kobe Is Greatness!
@brave “Still Is”!
@@Shy.89 you can't "is" a dead man
@@BlackedHawked I can cuz I’m not human and Kobe “is” the Greatest til this day!
passing the torch to the next generation there
