You’ve probably heard — Wednesday night was Kobe Bryant’s final NBA game. He went out with a bang, dropping 60 on the Utah Jazz and leading an otherwise awful Los Angeles Lakers squad to a come-from-behind victory.
It was a fitting way for transcendent player to go out, especially this one.
The chucker chucking like a madman one more time.
Everyone seemingly stopped and took note, including your Green Bay Packers.
The love poured out on Twitter from just about every Packers player that’s on Twitter, Wednesday night.
Here’s a sample.

That’s a whole hell of a lot of respect from fellow athletes. Kobe Bryant has earned it, though.
