Kobe Bryant Told Trevor Ariza He’d Take Out Jazz In Lakers Finale Securing Rockets Playoff Berth

Kobe Bryant had a lot of memorable moments throughout his NBA career with the Los Angeles Lakers. Although Bryant has a long list of unforgettable performances and milestone achieving moments, few can compare to his last game in a Lakers uniform.

In the last couple of months leading up to Bryant’s finale, the five-time NBA champion was trying to keep his body prepared for his final game at the Staples Center. Kobe dealt with injuries, soreness, and general fatigue throughout his last season with the Lakers, but nothing was going to prevent him from putting on a show against the Utah Jazz on April 13.
