Bryant led the Lakers in scoring with 19 points as Los Angeles fell 89-87 to the Pacers in a nail-biting finish. Bryant, playing in his final NBA season and makinge his final appearance against Indiana, added five rebounds while Julius Randle finished with a double-double of 15 points and 19 rebounds for the Lakers. Bryant averaged 17.6 points per game in his final season, capped off by a magnificent and emotional 60-point outburst in the last game of his career against the Utah Jazz.

These offered Nike Kobe 11 Elite sneakers were the final signature shoe of Bryant’s spectacular, Hall of Fame, 20-season career. The shoes are primarily blue and black, with a multi-color gradient pattern in the middle. White Nike swooshes are applied to both sides of the shoes. Bryant signed the swoosh on the outside of the right shoe in black marker, inscribing “vs Indy” after his signature. On the left shoe, Bryant inscribed “2-8-16”. These shoes come with a LOA from the MeiGray Group photo matching them to the February 8th game, while a COA from Panini (PA36964) authenticates Bryant’s autograph and designates the sneakers as a “1 of 1”.
