Kobe was blowing up the internet as we witnessed one of the best performances of his career after the franchise has gone through a miserable three-year stretch. Kobe was injured for much of that stretch as the Black Mamba was gone, but he came back and turned in arguably the best last game of all-time.

This game was beyond anyone’s wildest expectations, especially after Kobe missed his first five shots, but this was a performance that will be talked about for generations and crosses over all sports.
Oh yeah, the Warriors won their 73rd game to set a NBA record for most wins in a season, but that’s not the lead story on a night we saw something we will never see again.
