Sure, Kobe Bryant's got two-thirds of a season left but, as you know, that 37-year-old body has had trouble making it to April. As such you should treat pretty much anything he does on the court as the last time you'll ever see it. Tonight/last night (depending on when you're reading this) Mamba dunked on a man 16-years his junior, Houston's Clint Capela, for his first throwdown of the season and, perhaps, the last of his career. Maybe he'll do it again in two minutes, or maybe the icing he'll need on those knees postgame will convince him it's just not worth it anymore. If it is the last time cherish it. Someday you'll be able to tell your grandchildren that you saw Kobe's final dunk...through an internet vine...on your cell phone...possibly while you took a bus to work. Life doesn't get much more sentimental than that.
Also: Here's the reaction of both Dwight Howard and the Lakers:
