...it's over...for Kobe Bryant.

Had such a stellar career with the Los Angeles Lakers; 20 years. And in his last game against the Utah Jazz, Kobe did it all, and I mean did it all...plus he scored 60 points; he was on fire.

I'll miss him!! He's the Greatest Basketball Player EVER...and these aren't my words, but from those who shared the floor with him...battled with him...celebrated with him...

8...then 24...and in time, I believe that his number will be retired too, and that he'll be in the Basketball Hall of Fame...deservingly so!!

I feel fortunate enough to be his fan, and to watch him over these many years.

KOBE...KOBE...KOBE...KOBE...KOBE...

"Mamba Out!!"

GO LAKERS!!

It's too bad that his last game was also the night that the Warriors broke the season win record by ending their season 73-9. The Warrior's story overshadowed Kobe a bit.

Greatest or best? They're not one in the same. Best is debatable. I don't think he's better nor greater than #23 was. Certainly a 1st ballot hall of famer and easily one of the best ever. But is he a household name like Michael Jordan was (and possibly still is)?

He's not in my all-time starting five. Here's mine, in case anyone's interested...

Point guard - Earvin "Magic" Johnson
Shooting guard - Larry Bird
Small forward - Michael Jordan
Power forward - Tim Duncan
Center - Hakim Olajuwon
