Kobe Bryant, who died in a tragic helicopter crash with his daughter and everyone else in the vehicle over a year ago, continues to fascinate. Today, it was learned that a ticket signed by the late basketball player for the last game of his career was purchased for over $40,000.
A ticket in memory of a legendary night
It is April 13, 2016. A few months ago, Kobe Bryant announced that he would retire at the end of the current season. The Lakers, who are experiencing a very complicated season, are not qualified for the NBA playoffs. The Mamba plays the last game of his career at this date, against the Jazz of Rudy Gobert and Gordon Hayward. In a state of grace on the floor, the Angelino back illuminates the Staples Center and scored sixty points. Thanks to several decisive shots, Kobe allows his franchise to win and retires in the most beautiful way.
At that moment, no one could have imagined that the family man would lose his life three and a half years later, at the age of forty-one. Today, the journalist Darren Rovell tells us that a ticket signed by the Lakers legend on the occasion of this final meeting was offered for sale by Goldin Auctions. The object quickly found a buyer and was sold for the sum of 40 590 dollars. The identity of the buyer was not revealed.
