Kobe Bryant‘s farewell tour is on its final chapter as the Black Mamba plays out the last game of his historic career in front of the world.

Before the game itself began, there were a number of festivities to be held, including a moving video tribute that nearly brought Kobe to tears.

Moments later, for the last time, the public address announcer at Staples Center introduced Bryant to a stirring roar from the crowd.

Good bye, Mamba. Thank you for everything.
