Kobe Bryant's farewell tour hit Cleveland on Wednesday night for Bryant's final game in Quicken Loans Arena against LeBron James and the Cavaliers.
The two Goliaths of this basketball generation - who might have been traded for each other once upon a time - shared a heartfelt embrace as Bryant walked off the Cavs' court for the final time, but James made certain to procure a physical souvenir before Bryant left town: a signed pair of KOBE 11s.
