VIDEO: Celtics fans shower Kobe with cheers, boos in final game in Boston

Dec. 30, 2015 marked the final time Kobe Bryant would play in front of the Boston Celtics faithful.

And so, scores of green-clad fans at TD Garden put their proclivity to despise anything featuring purple and gold aside for a night.

Some in attendance, however, couldn't hide their disdain for the "Black Mamba" - the venomous force that has caused so much heartache in Beantown for so long.

The Celtics' PA announcer introduced Bryant as nearly equal amounts of cheers and boos reigned down on the Lakers icon.

Careful though, Celtics fans. Whatever verbal hatred is spewed at Bryant, the five-time champ relishes and uses as fuel.

And we all know how No. 24 deals with pressure on the road.
