BHR Hollywood Reports............When Wednesday's Lakers-Jazz bout ends, Kobe Bryant will have played his final NBA game. 

The surreality of the basketball great's retirement is not lost on writer Scoop Jackson and Compton rapper Kendrick Lamar, both of whom honored the L.A. icon with an ESPN video Monday night.

The video itself sees Lamar walking through the Great Western Forum, where Kobe began his Lakers career.
