Stephen Curry couldn’t believe what Kobe Bryant did in final game
Kobe Bryant finished off his NBA career in style Wednesday night, and the reaction from players around the league after his 60-point game was priceless. When Stephen Curry found out what Kobe had done, the reigning NBA MVP was in disbelief.
As he was coming off the court following the Golden State Warriors’ record-setting 73rd win, Curry thought someone was joking when they told him about Kobe’s stat line.
Steph was told coming off court Kobe had 60 on 50 shots and replied: "Stop playin'!" Added: "I thought they were literally lying to me."

Not only was it the perfect ending for Kobe to score 60 points, but he did it on 50 shots from the field. If that’s not classic Mamba, I don’t know what is.
NBA stars put together a tribute video before that game that will give you chills. Nick Young didn’t think Kobe got the respect he deserved because of the network the game aired on, but it was a pretty special night all around. Curry’s reaction said it all.
