In April 2016, Kobe Bryant played the final game of his 20-year career. In typical Mamba style, the 37-year-old lived up to the moment and dropped 60 points in his farewell performance. Beneath his sneakers lay pieces of hardwood emblazoned with the two numbers he wore over the course of his career: 8 and 24. A cutout portion of that court, Rally’s #16KOBE, contains four panels of hardwood that features the signed No. 8 in classic Lakers Purple and White.

“Kobe was a legend on the court and just getting started in what would have been just as meaningful a second act.”
