One of the greatest compliments I can give to a legendary competitor like Kobe Bean Bryant is that I rooted like hell against him, but I sure respected him.

Kobe Bryant's last game in Boston, the city of one his biggest rivals, and no one cared. Listen to the crowd erupt when he was introduced. #KobeBryant pic.twitter.com/jpSnBYLl0c — Chad Amaral (@Chad_Amaral) January 26, 2020

As a Boston Celtics fan, I did not want to see him do well when he was competing against my beloved team.
