Utah Jazz: Kobe Retirement Marks the End of an Era

On Wednesday night, the 2015-16 season came to an end for the Utah Jazz. It was a hard pill to swallow for Jazz fans; the team had been eliminated from the playoffs earlier in the night, a double-digit lead was choked away in a loss to the hated Los Angeles Lakers and the chance to finish the year with a .500 record was squandered.

As if these things weren’t punishment enough, Kobe Bryant was allowed to break the hearts of Jazz fans one last time before riding off into the sunset. Not only did he ensure a losing season for the Jazz, but he looked like the Kobe of old, willing his team to an unlikely win and doing so to the tune of 60 points.
