OKLAHOMA CITY -- Kobe Bryant took the floor for the final road game of his prestigious career Monday in Oklahoma City, and to honor the Lakers legend, Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook presented him with a book that included handwritten, personal notes from Thunder players detailing what Bryant meant to them.

The book presentation took place in a private hallway pregame, with only Durant, Westbrook, Bryant and a photographer present.

With Lakers jerseys spread throughout the typically biased Thunder crowd, the team also played a two-minute video before Bryant was introduced in the starting lineup.

The video focused on Bryant's legacy and was narrated by his high school coach, Gregg Downer. The book the Thunder gave Bryant tied into the pregame video, with pictures from his playing career in it.

"It meant the world," Durant said of facing Bryant for the last time in an on-court Fox Sports Oklahoma interview after the game. "It was the first time that I've gone through this with a guy like that, leaving the game. So many people love him for what he's done for our game, and I'm one of those guys."

Bryant looked vintage with 13 points in the first quarter of the Lakers' 112-79 loss, but he went scoreless the rest of the way.

Bryant will finish his career Wednesday at Staples Center against the Utah Jazz.

"I feel really excited and very happy, and I'm looking forward to lacing them up one more time," Bryant said after Monday's game.

Bryant sat down for good in the third quarter. In the fourth quarter, the crowd started chanting, "We want Kobe,'' and "Kobe,'' but the Thunder had the game well in hand.

"I couldn't move, man," Bryant said with a laugh. "I played the first quarter and I tried to give it all I had, and then sitting down in the second quarter, I tried to loosen up in the locker room coming out for the second half, but I couldn't move well at all. That and the fact that we were losing by 40. I would've liked to play against [Durant] and chase Russell around a little bit more, but I'm still appreciative of the fans' reaction."
