Tomorrow evening, in a shockingly meaningful match-up at home against the Utah Jazz, Kobe Bryant, The Black Mamba, will play in his final NBA game. How is this game meaningful? If the Jazz win and the Rockets lose, Utah is headed to the playoffs, and James Harden and company will be gone fishing. However, that’s not the big story here.
Everyone–and we mean everyone–will be vying for a chance to see Kobe take his final graceful strides down the court, which means ticket prices have spiked. You’ll need to drop a good chunk of your rent for the $700 nosebleed seats at Staples Center tomorrow night, and if you actually want to be close to the action? Like, rubbing elbows with Jack Nicholson and Jay Z close? We hope your savings account is in order, because that will run you about $26,000.
Or, you’re likely already paying for ESPN2. Maybe save yourself twenty-five grand? Or even the $700. You’ll need those when Nike starts “retroing” these Kobe shoes.
