NBA players react to Kobe's 60-point final game on Twitter
Basketball fans will always remember where they were when Kobe Bryant dropped 60 points against the Utah Jazz in the final game of his 20-year career.
For players who had the privilege of going toe-to-toe with "The Black Mamba," taking in the 37-year-old's last outing as an active competitor was even more special.
Social media blew up throughout the night as Bryant went off at Staples Center, with several NBA talents taking to Twitter to share their enthusiasm with their legion of followers.
