Kobe Bryant Feels the Love From the Lakers Nation One Last Team (this season)

What a long, strange trip its been. The 2012-13 NBA season came to an end for the Los Angeles Lakers with a rather flat 103-82 loss at home to the San Antonio Spurs.

You would think that with the likes of Kobe Bryant, Steve Nash, Metta World Peace, Dwight Howard, and Pau Gasol on the roster that a trip to the NBA finals would have been a given. Instead the team barely made the post season, largely off the heroics of the injured Kobe Bryant.

It was the Black Mamba, aka #vino, provided the home crowd with the highlight of the night when he joined them on the bench in the second half for the last time this season.
