Former Lakers player Earvin "Magic" Johnson Jr. acknowledged Bryant's final game before it began, speaking on what Bryant has meant to so many people over the years:

"We are here to celebrate [Bryant's] greatness for 20 years and excellence for 20 years," Johnson said. "Kobe Bryant has never cheated the game, he has never cheated us as the fans, he has played through injuries, he's played hurt, and we have five championship banners to show for it. When you think about this town for the last 20 years, this man has been the biggest and greatest celebrity we've had in this town for 20 years."

After the game, Bryant admitted to the crowd that he's most proud of "the down years," those years where they didn't succeed as well as other years. "We didn't run, we played through and did it the right way...You can't write something better than this...Thank you guys for all the years of support, all the motivation, all the inspiration."
