Nike declared April 13, 2016, Black Mamba day in honor of legendary Los Angeles Lakers Kobe Bryant’s retirement. Bryant played his entire 20-season career with the Lakers and set an NBA record for the most seasons with a single team. Bryant scored 60 points and led the Lakers to victory in his final game against the Utah Jazz, dribbling his way into an even bigger legend.

Carolina Panthers players took to Twitter to document their reactions to Kobe’s retirement and expressed their awe at his career.

Ok I've come down from my Kobe high!!! MJ is the GOAT!! But Kobe left us something nobody has ever done! 60 Pts saying Farewell!! 🐍🐍🙌🏾 — Tre Boston (@TreBos10) April 14, 2016

He def will get the Jordan comparison after this fasho — Brandon Boykin (@BrandonBoykin2) April 14, 2016

Panthers cornerback Josh Norman even posted a video on Twitter saluting his fellow 24.

Scoring 60 points in a single game is unreal and Kobe gave us quite a show for this final game before his retirement. We could be so lucky to have half the career that Kobe had and then to go out with 60? That is just too ridiculous for words.

Mamba gonna need a drink and an iv and a nap after this one! #MambaDay — Derek Anderson (@DAnderson314) April 14, 2016

Farewell to Kobe Bryant, the Black Mamba, a legend.
