Kobe Bryant decided to go out in style with an epic three point shot during his final NBA game. 

Los Angeles Lakers guard Kobe Bryant was scheduled to have his final NBA game be on prime time. However, with the Golden State Warriors chasing history, ESPN chose to take Kobe off of prime time and give the Warriors Kobe’s prime time slot.

Bryant decided to prove to ESPN that they made a mistake by going out strong against the Houston Rockets. He nailed a three point shot that was vintage Black Mamba to remind everyone who the real king is.

What a great way for Kobe to go out. If only that could be the final shot of his career so that everyone would remember the good times when Kobe Bryant used to make shots like this on a regular basis. Bryant will surely see his career enshrined in the Basketball Hall of Fame and shots like this are why.

Kobe will retire as an 18-time All-Star and a one-time NBA Most Valuable Player (2007-2008). He is also a two-time NBA Finals MVP and a four-time NBA All-Star Game MVP. Bryant won five NBA titles during his legendary career and will retire as the league’s third leading scorer of all-time.
