Nike Athletes Pay Homage to Kobe Bryant in Tribute Video

This season has been an absolute mess for the Lakers. The team has been terrible, and Kobe Bryant has not been his usual killer self.

Of course, that shouldn't diminish what has been a terrific career, and on Wednesday, the Black Mamba will take to the court one final time. Kobe's been a Nike athlete since entering the league, so the shoe giant paid tribute with a video of other Nike athletes talking about Mr. Bryant.

There are lots of folks in here. Roger Federer, Tiger Woods, Russell Wilson, and a whole host of others. But the real show stealer is Kevin Durant. He describes Kobe perfectly in a way that would probably make the Laker laugh. Well done all around.

History is written one word at a time.
Join us and tell Kobe your last word. #MambaDay https://t.co/ffrHhYEbBthttps://t.co/MGlxKJlIcj

Chris Paul Says Goodbye To Kobe Bryant By Letting His Son Steal The Ball From Kobe

Kobe Bryant just finished his 18th and final All-Star Game, a rousing 196-173 West victory that featured about 45 seconds of defense and at least six-thousand dunks, as any good All-Star Game should.

As this was Bryant's last appearance, there were several little montages and fun moments throughout the game. But the cutest might have been during pregame warmups. Kobe was goofing around with Chris Paul's six-year-old son, Chris Jr., dribbling around the lil' CP3 with style and aplomb. That is, until Chris Jr. stole the ball from him. Guess quick hands are genetic.

Kobe Bryant Appears In NBA Jam Spoof

This season hasn't been kind to Kobe Bryant. The future Hall of Famer is missing shots left and right, and trying to incorporate his teammates via this newfangled thing called "passing." It's not going well, and naturally there's already been someone poking fun at him. That someone is The Cauldron, doing so via an NBA Jam parody. It's quite spot on, so enjoy!

This is quite the funny concept that actually stays chuckleworthy throughout. Metta World Peace's acting is probably better than it's ever been. Is that saying anything? No, but still. Baby steps. Best line: "Your office has a pool? Where do you work, Google?"

Kobe Bryant Is Unamused By His Teammates' Celebration

Kobe Bryant is currently missing the entire NBA season thanks to an injury. His teammates, unfortunately, still have to play games. They just won their first contest in nine tries to improve in the standings, and now sit at 14-41. That's terrible, and is even five games behind the SACRAMENTO KINGS, of all teams.

Bryant went on Jimmy Kimmel Live to talk about all things basketball, and he was shown a clip of his teammates celebrating after said victory, an overtime thriller against the Celtics. Granted, the two teams are rivals, but they're also both just awful this year. So was this an overreaction?

We'll let Kobe's face answer.

3 Ridiculous Question With Kobe Bryant

I don't know if I've ever watched an entire episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live. The best strategy for the show is to just wait for clips like this one to be posted and then enjoy it in 2-4 minute spurts.

With the NBA season nearing its end, Jimmy Kimmel sat down with Kobe Bryant and asked him three really weird questions. And Kobe once again demonstrates his underrated humor with some very solid answers. Enjoy, and if this is any indication of the possibilities, I sure do hope this becomes a regular segment.
