Kobe Bryant is retiring at the end of the season which has made every single Los Angeles Lakers game a huge deal. His east coast road games in particular are bigger than others, because he’s only going to play there once this entire season, and that means teams are rolling out the red carpet for him. Philadelphia had a cool one where they gave Bryant his old high school jersey, and honored the hometown kid at halfcourt.

Not to be outdone, the Detroit Pistons honored Kobe in a way that only Detroit can. With their incredible intro man.

All of this is awesome, and Detroit’s intro man is one of the best in the NBA, but it’ll give Lakers fans goosebumps when he starts listing off every single one of Kobe’s accomplishments. It’s not only a reminder of how great a player Bryant is, but the impact he’s had on the NBA as a whole.
