Los Angeles Lakers forward Kobe Bryant celebrates with his daughter after the Lakers victory over the Utah Jazz at Staples Center in Los Angeles on Wednesday. Bryant finished with 60 points in the final game of his 20-year NBA career, leading the Lakers to an improbable 101-96 win over the Utah Jazz. The entire night was a tribute to Bryant, who is retiring with five championship rings and 18 All-Star selections with the Lakers. Bryant is just the fifth player in NBA history to play 20 seasons and the first with just one team. He is by far the most popular Western athlete in China, who is known locally as the “Little Flying Warrior.”
