Almost everybody knows that Kobe Bryant takes a helicopter to Lakers games. It's one of the most beloved oddities of the superstar, who plays his final NBA game tonight. The Lakers decided to honor Kobe's helicopter tendencies ... with a flying Kobe figurine handed out to 400 people sitting courtside.

WHAT. There are some weird things associated with #MambaDay ... but Kobe as a flying helicopter? This is incredible.
Kobe showed up in a helicopter again for this game, as usual. Yes, if you were wondering, of course it’s branded with his Mamba logo and the Nike swoosh.
