It took Kobe Bryant a while, but in his final NBA game, he refused to be held down for long. The Black Mamba rose up and chased down a block vs. the Jazz, then found his way to old faithful ... the turnaround fadeaway jumper.
That's one of his patented shots, and that's all muscle memory. The Los Angeles Lakers have seen that shot for years.
Bryant started 0-for-4 but finished with 15 first-quarter points after getting rolling. His teammates were constantly looking for him and you could tell the whole building was a bit nervous because of that tension. Once he settled into it, though, he got hot.
