Black Mamba Goes Out Like a Legend

Some say he is the best player to ever play basketball in history, putting aside Jordan of course. He is a legend, a role model, a MVP, a 5 time NBA Champion, and one of the most profound faces to ever come out of the NBA.
Kobe Bryant , AKA the Black Mamba.
Kobe Bryant has played beside the best players to ever play this game and he has mimicked Micheal Jordan's play and moves as he looked up to him and wanted to play like him and even try to be better then he was.

Kobe Bryant is a now retired American shooting guard who played for the Los Angeles Lakers for his entire 20 year career and never switched teams. Bryant was selected 13th overall to the Charlotte Hornets and was traded directly to the Lakers. Who would ever think that the 13th overall pick would be , in my opinion, the 2nd best player in NBA history alongside Micheal Jordan. Kobe Bryant is the only player to come close to Wilt Chamberlain's record of the most points scored in a single game being 100. Bryant scored 81 points on January 22, 2006. There is so much to say about Kobe Bryant's greatness beyond words. Our past generation got to see Kobe in his prime, and our generation gets to see him retire as one of the greats.

In his last game as a Los Angles Laker on April 13th 2016, Kobe Bryant went of with a bang! He scored 60 points in his last game at home, and he couldn't ask for a better way to end his career as a Laker. Everybody who is anybody was at that game from Jack Black all the way to Magic Johnson and his lifetime teammate Shaq. Bryant led his team to their last victory of the season with the score being 110-96 against the Utah Jazz. Bryant who went 22-50 from the field laughed during his farewell speech because all his career his teammates told him to pass the ball, but not last night! Kobe went off for his last game and retired in style, the only way a legend should!

Warriors Make History

The Golden State Warriors, this season, were on the chase for 73 wins in order for them to surpass the 95'-96' Chicago Bulls record of 72-10. Last night on April 13th the Warriors took on the Memphis Grizzlies on their last regular game of their season. They had to win their last 4 games in a row to beat the Bulls and their last opponent comes down to the Grizzlies. The Warriors , led by the reining MVP of last year Stephen Curry, beat the Grizzlies with the final score being 125-104. They made history in beating Micheal Jordan's 95'-96' Bulls team with their record being 72 wins and 9 losses. The Warriors reached a total of 73 wins and is now the record holder in the NBA for most wins in a regular season with that now being 73.

Steve Kerr the current head coach for the Warriors had the privilege to play with Jordan on the 95'-96' Bulls team when they made history, and he thought that no other team would come close to breaking his record of 72 wins. Now 20 years later Kerr coaches the team to break his own record with the most wins in the NBA, That is pretty awesome and is a main part of the NBA's history.

Our parents had the privilege to watch Jordan in his prime win the title 3 straight years in a row 2 times! Now it is our turn to watch history unfold it self as we get to see the best 3 point shooter of all time , Stephen Curry, beat the record for most wins and get 73 wins in a single season!
