Kobe Bryant started his scoring career how he finished it.
The Los Angeles Lakers star made his NBA debut Nov. 3, 1996 against the Minnesota Timberwolves, but never scored in six minutes. He'd make 1-of-2 free throws two days later at Madison Square Garden to record his first of 33,643 points.
Fast forward 20 years and the Black Mamba capped off his Hall of Fame career by scoring his 59th and 60th points of his final game Wednesday from the free-throw line.
