The Kobe Bryant farewell tour has seen many stops, but the one in February during All-Star Weekend may have been the best.
In Toronto, a few of Bryant's closest friends, such as Chris Paul, Carmelo Anthony and Dwyane Wade took the opportunity to thank the Los Angeles Lakers legend for all he's done to help them out during their careers. Bryant was even presented with flattering gifts such as a cane, mamba robe, underwear and other hilarious items.

For the first time, Bryant recently took the time to comment on the aforementioned roast, via Baxter Holmes of ESPN:
“It was great, man. It was really a great night. I saw them come into the league and they were a couple generations after me, so to see these players come up and grow and now being able to stand up there and joke about playing me for the first time and how I’ve inspired them throughout their careers and all this other stuff.
“It was really, really awesome. It was one of those things that I’ll remember forever.”
While the Lakers have struggled during their worst season in franchise history, this year has been about celebrating the Black Mamba's final campaign in the NBA.
Bryant will play his final two games over the next couple of days, with the final one coming at Staples Center on Wednesday against the Utah Jazz.
