In his final game in the NBA on April 13, 2016 against the Utah Jazz, Los Angeles Lakers legend Kobe Bryant poured in 60 points in front of a packed Staples Center crowd.
After the game, Bryant signed the No. 8 logo on the Staples Center court. The Lakers icon, of course, wore Nos. 8 and 24 during his career and has both numbers retired by the franchise.
Now, according to Claudia Harmata of People, someone has paid over $600,000 for the Bryant-signed floor.
According to the auction house, the memorabilia consisted of four panels, each measuring four-by-eight feet, and “one of the most inspiring lots that Heritage has had the privilege to present to the collecting world.”
Heritage Auctions said that the seller plans to donate 10 percent of the proceeds to the Mamba and Mambacita Sports Foundation.
Kobe Bryant's tragic death still doesn't seem real to this day. The Lakers icon, though, will never be forgotten for everything he did on the basketball court and how excellent of a father and husband he was.
Bryant, who spent his entire Hall of Fame career with the Lakers, won five titles and two Finals MVPs with Los Angeles. He averaged 25.0 points, 5.2 rebounds and 4.7 assists during the regular season and also won the 2008 MVP Award.
This year's Lakers, led by LeBron James and Anthony Davis, are motivated to win the 2020 championship at Walt Disney World for Bryant. Entering Game 4 of the 2020 Finals, Los Angeles has a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven series.
The last time the Lakers won a title was in 2010, when Bryant led the Purple and Gold to the championship over the Boston Celtics in seven epic games.
