VIDEO: A look back at Kobe Bryant's game-winning shots

Kirby Lee-USA TODAY Sports

Throughout the course of his legendary 20-year career, Los Angeles Lakers icon Kobe Bryant has never been one to shy away from high-pressure situations late in games.

"The Black Mamba" - who announced his intention to retire at the end of the 2015-16 season on Sunday evening - consistently thrives when a game is on the line and the basketball is in his hands. Very few players have been able to adapt to the spotlight the way the 17-time All-Star has, with Bryant hitting more than his fair share of game-winning shots.

His game has regressed in a major way early on this season, but even so, that drop off will never overshadow all of the heart-stopping moments Bryant has provided fans over the years.

It's been one heck of a ride.
