The game against the Utah Jazz at the LA Lakers home ground, staples centre sold out with ticket going as much as $27,500 with the least seats going for $729 as a lot of basketball fans
and well-wishers wanted to see the legend in action for the last time as a professional basketball player.
The game opened with a sweet tribute video in his honour with heartfelt messages from fellow players, teammates, coaches and actor, Jack Nicholson.
Celebrities who graced the occasion were Jay Z, Magic Johnson (who also gave a loving speech and embraced Kobe before the game began), Lamar Odom (who played alongside Kobe from 2004 - 2011), Kanye West, Adam Levine and Behati Prinsloo, David Beckham and more.
