This week, Kobe Bryant<\/strong> had the rare opportunity to go out on his own terms and in his own fashion. Scoring 60 points, rocking his own shoes and winning, it doesn’t get much better or more Kobe than that.<\/p>\n

Between the business behind the game and uncertainty of sneaker deals, it’s rare that most players get to go out like the Black Mamba did. Still, some amazing players with fantastic numbers and Kicks On Court resumes managed to hoop in their last NBA outing in shoes of both the signature and team variety. For the sneaker standouts that also had photographers capture their last nights of NBA action (planned or unplanned), see what some of our favorites wore in their last NBA game.<\/p>\n
