UPDATE: In light of the devastating news of Kobe’s passing, we are sharing this article again to honour the Mamba’s career through video games.
ORIGINAL ARTICLE: Tonight, Kobe Bryant, one of if not the greatest basketball players of all-time, will take to the court for the last time. His loyal, one-club 20-year career with the Los Angeles is among the best in US professional sports history. He was part of the best Lakers teams, and part of the worst: the 2016 LA Lakers 16-win season is the worst in franchise history, but that record is easily blanketed by what The Black Mamba brought to the game of basketball, and the five championships he helped bring to the city of Los Angeles.

To celebrate Bryant’s spectacular career, let’s take a look back at his appearances in basketball games over the years.
