The Utah Jazz paid tribute to a timeless foe Monday.
A video was shown to highlight the career of Kobe Bryant to reminisce upon his history as a villain in Salt Lake City. After hitting the nadir of his career in an infamous overtime showing in 1997, Bryant went on to break plenty of hearts in Utah.
The organization also gifted the soon-to-be retiree a pair of skis, among other presents.
