Celebrities Honor Kobe Bryant on Social Media for His Last NBA Game

Last night, a star-studded list of celebrities and sports fans convened at the Staples Center in Los Angeles to bid farewell to the Black Mamba, Kobe Bryant. While fixtures in the Los Angeles scene like The Game and Ben Baller paid their respects, tributes came from all over, David Beckham, Kevin Hart, and Drake included.

Kobe racked up 60 points during his final appearance for the Lakers, bringing the team’s tally to 17 wins for the season. Once the match was wrapped up, Bryant took to center court to address the fans, noting “I go through 20 years of everybody screaming for me to pass the ball and the last night they’re like, don’t pass it.” The 37-year-old capped off his speech with a fitting sentiment, uttering “Mamba out” before dropping the mic.
