Eine Legende tritt ab!
Nach 20 Jahren hängt Kobe Bryant seine Basketballschuhe an den Nagel.
Dementsprechend emotional fiel der letzte Auftritt, die 60-Punkte-Gala der Lakers-Ikone im Staples-Center beim Sieg über Utah Jazz aus.
Und jeder wollte dabei sein! Auch auf den Social-Media-Plattformen gab es Reaktionen aus aller Welt.
Ob Politiker, ehemalige Weggefährten, Teamkollegen, Vereine oder andere Sportler - jeder verabschiedete sich auf seine Art von Kobe Bryant.
LAOLA1 verschafft einen Überblick:
