Kobe Bryant, the NBA's third all-time leading scorer and a five-time champion, will close out his career tonight with one last game.
The tributes have been coming in for months and it has been a season-long celebration of his career, but now everybody, from LeBron James to the NBA itself to stars from other sports, is paying their respects once again on #MambaDay.
Congrats to the toughest competitor I’ve faced @kobebryant. Incredible career #MambaDay pic.twitter.com/sB5HROw1j7

Spending 20 years at a job is commonplace. Spending 20 years at the highest level of basketball in the world & dominating. That's legendary.
