Magician: I like the last game of Kobe s career. I ve never seen anyone end his career like this.

Recently, Lakers legend Magic Johnson pondered several iconic moments when asked about his personal favorite moments at the Dodge Full Contact event last Friday.

Magician said: "Where do you start? Is that 81 points? I think what I like most is the last game of his career. I remember that time he was injured and was not completely online, especially the Achilles tendon problem. If you were on the scene or on TV, no one sat down in the entire audience in the second half. Remember? He kept scoring, and we cheered more and more frantically. The atmosphere was getting warmer and warmer. We said, 'Oh my God, he scored 50 points? Kobe scored 50 points?' But he continued! I've never seen anyone finish his career this way.

"I think I'll always remember that game. It was a game that I will never forget. Another game that struck me very much was against Portland. At that time, there was a guy who called himself "Bryant Terminator" named Ruben Patterson. Kobe scored a three-pointer at the last moment of regular time to tie the score, and then scored another three-pointer in overtime to win the game. He hit that three-pointer when we were two points behind. Oh, I can tell the story about Kobe for the rest of my life. He is such an outstanding person with a unique mindset. He always keeps pushing himself and his teammates to be better, better, and better. He came here when he needed him the most. We did not perform well in the transition period for about four years, and then we picked the 18-year-old and put him and O'Neal together, and the rest is history. I think if they work together for another seven or eight years, they might win five or six more championships. They won the championship for three consecutive years, which is incredible.

"I love Kobe, and I love his role as a father and husband. He always shows up with his daughters. He is a very good person. He loves watching the Dodgers. He often comes here to watch the team games, which is amazing. Sitting next to him, we watch the game together, laughing and chatting the whole game. I still remember the time we spent that night together."

On April 14, 2016, the Lakers beat the Jazz 101-96, Kobe played 42 minutes and 9 seconds, made 22 of 50 shots, 6 of 21 three-pointers, 10 of 12 free throws, scored 60 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal and 1 block.
