Kobe Bryant’s storied career ended with a bang, with the 5 time NBA championship winner scoring 60 points in his last NBA game against the Utah Jazz.

It was a fairy tale ending for the NBA star, affectionately known as “The Black Mamba,” who has been with the franchise for 20 years, ESPN reports.

“I can’t believe how fast 20 years went by. Man, this is crazy,” Bryant said, addressing his adoring crowd.

“This is absolutely crazy … and to be standing at center court with you guys, my teammates behind me, appreciating the journey that we’ve been on — we’ve been through our ups, been through our downs. I think the most important part is we all stayed together throughout.”

The stars came out to watch Kobe’s triumphant finish. Both Jay-Z and Kanye West were spotted watching history be made court side.
