VIDEO: The bad of Kobe's last game in Philadelphia
Philadelphia native Kobe Bryant was honored prior to Tuesday's game against the 76ers, and it's plausible the emotion of the moment jacked him up. The 37-year-old started the game with nine points - three treys - in the first 75 seconds of the game.
Bryant scored 16 points in the first half, but unfortunately also fell into some of the sub-optimal play he has displayed this season.

Later, he was rejected with impunity by Jerami Grant.
Then this.
While Bryant did drop a sweet reverse layup in the fourth quarter, it counted for his lone field goal of the entire second half. He finished with 20 points on 7-of-26 shooting, including 4-for-17 from downtown.
5th career game for Kobe with at least 15 3-pt field goals attempted. In the previous four games, he scored at least 40 points in each game.
