Vintage Kobe and his long-range 3s showed up against the Rockets

We know that Kobe is set to retire on Wednesday against the Utah Jazz, but maybe he should postpone the farewell tour to give us a second encore after this shot against the Rockets.

Not only are his handles reminiscent of vintage Kobe, but he’s also draining long shots like Steph Curry.

He had himself a great game, ending the day with 35 points. And as Kobe made his way to the bench one final time in Houston, Rockets fans celebrated him with a “KO-BE” chant.
