Brad Turner of the Los Angeles Times noted Bryant's return against Golden State.
Bryant Has Struggled to Find Consistency with Shot in Final Season
Bryant, 37, has still managed to post 16.8 points, 4.1 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game, though he's shot a career-worst 35.1 percent from the field.
Without question, he's earned his long curtain call. He won five NBA titles with the Lakers and was a two-time NBA Finals MVP, a one-time league MVP, an 18-time All-Star and an 11-time first-team All-NBA selection.
Ultimately, the Lakers haven't minded his poor shooting percentage or the team's overall struggles, as Los Angeles is looking to keep its protected first-round pick, which will go to the Philadelphia 76ers unless the Lakers end up with a top-three selection.
