I was lucky enough thanks to my older brother to see one of Kobe's last games before he finally retired in 2015. I was able to sit court side to watch one of the greatest of all time play a game that made him a world wide celebrity and house hold name. I can say I was lucky enough to see one of the greats, just like I saw Jordan, LeBron and Shaq. As a sports fan this is a huge lose but thank you Kobe for some magical memories on and off the court.
