On Sunday Kobe Bryant announced that the 2015-16 season would be his last. We figured, what better way to look back on his no-doubt first-ballot Hall of Fame career than by watching his 10 greatest plays (as compiled by the NBA).
For much of his career, Kobe Bryant was the only player Los Angeles Lakers’ fans wanted to see with the ball in the fourth quarter of close games. But age has caught up to the 33-year-old, and the Laker faithful have begun to bemoan Kobe’s late game ball-hogging ways. In short, he’s no longer the Kobe that they used to know.
