Kobe Bryant took home one of three ESPY Icon Awards on Wednesday - alongside Peyton Manning and Abby Wambach - and couldn't help but laugh about how his career came to a close, as compared to theirs.
"Abby decided to retire after a compelling World Cup victory," Bryant said. "And Peyton hung up his cleats after another Super Bowl win ... I felt an impressive 17-65 season would be a bold statement to wrap up my 20-year career."
They didn't score 60 points on 50 shots in a career finale against the Utah Jazz, though, Kobe.
