LOS ANGELES (AP) — Kobe Bryant scored 60 incredible points. He carried a miserable Los Angeles Lakers team to an improbable comeback victory.

And with sweat and confetti all over his gold uniform for the final time, he expressed humble thanks to his fans and family for their loving support over two decades.

"What else can I say?" Bryant asked. "Mamba out."

Bryant utterly dominated his final game Wednesday night, wrapping up 20 NBA seasons with one last offensive showcase in the Lakers' 101-96 victory over the Utah Jazz.

He scored 23 points in the fourth quarter, posting his first 50-point game since February 2009 and rallying the Lakers from a 15-point deficit to win the final game of the worst season in franchise history.

It was messy, ridiculous and magical — even to the man who did it so many times over 20 years.

"It's hard to believe it happened this way," Bryant said. "I'm still shocked about it."

With the entire Staples Center crowd standing, Bryant made a 3-pointer with 59 seconds left. He hit another with 31 seconds to play, putting the Lakers ahead 97-96. He finished with an assist before checking out for good with 4.1 seconds left in just the Lakers' 17th win of the season.

"The perfect ending would have been a championship," Bryant said with a smile. "But tonight was (me) trying to go out, play hard and try to put on a show as much as I possibly could. It felt good to be able to do that one last time."

Bryant and his teammates conspired for one last omnivorous scoring performance by the third-leading scorer in NBA history. He played 42 minutes and took a career-high 50 shots, his teammates attempting to set him up for points on nearly every possession.

Kobe came up with the fifth highest-scoring game of his career. He became the oldest player to score 50 points in an NBA game with his highest-scoring performance since getting 61 against New York in 2009 — oh, and he had four assists and four rebounds.

The Lakers sprayed him with champagne in the locker room, although he didn't like it: "That's only for championships."

It was still one last classic from the Black Mamba.

"It just didn't surprise me, the way he would go out," said Lakers coach Byron Scott, Bryant's teammate in his rookie season. "Sixty points wasn't a surprise. I knew he had it in him."

The entire night was a tribute to Bryant, who is retiring after 20 seasons, five championship rings and 18 All-Star selections with the Lakers, who honored him before and after the game. Bryant is just the fifth player in NBA history to play 20 seasons, and the first with just one team.

"I think the most important part is that we all stayed together throughout," Bryant said to the crowd. "You'll always be in my heart, and I sincerely, sincerely appreciate it. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I love you guys."

He also had a few laughs after finishing his 1,346th regular-season game with 33,643 career points.

"The thing that had me cracking up all night long is, I go through 20 years of everybody screaming to pass the ball," Bryant said with a grin. "And then the last night, they're like, 'Don't pass it!'"

It was daylong tribute with thousands of fans thronging the downtown streets around Staples Center and chanting his name from early afternoon. Fans lucky enough to get inside Staples Center greeted him with ovations at every opportunity. Magic Johnson anchored a brief pregame tribute by calling Bryant "the biggest and greatest celebrity we've had in this town for 20 years" and "the greatest to wear the purple and gold."

Bryant embraced his roles as a hero and villain throughout his career, and he mentioned the duality in describing his outlook on sports afterward. He had rocky times in Los Angeles, from his sexual assault charge in Colorado in 2003 to his feud with Shaquille O'Neal, who watched the finale at courtside.

It was all forgotten by the time Bryant took the Staples court for the final time.

After blowing kisses and pounding his heart before the game, Bryant got right to work on what the fans wanted to see. He didn't count on the nerves that caused him to miss his first five shots before he pump-faked and finally connected on a jumper.

What else should we have expected. It's only Kobe Bryant were talking about. 60 You never seem to amaze. #Salute @kobebryant

Bryant found a rhythm then, finishing the first quarter with 15 points on 13 shots. He kept it up after sitting out the first six minutes of the second, finishing with 22 points despite missing a last-minute shot, his 20th of the first half.

The Lakers snapped a six-game skid in their final outing, but their demanding fans could forget about the awful season for one night.

Trey Lyles scored 18 points and Gordon Hayward had 17 for the Jazz, who were eliminated from playoff contention shortly before tipoff by Houston's win over the Sacramento Kings. The Jazz played defense, but Bryant's persistence wore them down.

"We weren't trying to let him go off on a win," said Joe Ingles, who guarded Bryant closely. "As it goes on, it will sink in more, and what he did was pretty impressive. He made some tough shots, too. I don't think we gave him any open looks. He was obviously pretty hyped up for the game. Forty-two minutes and 50 attempts will get you 60, apparently."

Jazz: Utah has missed the playoffs in four straight seasons, its longest drought since 1980-83. ... The Jazz rested Trey Burke, Derrick Favors and Alec Burks. Favors and Burks have right knee soreness.

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors took their last shot at Michael Jordan and history and they swished it — for 73.

Down to their final chance at the record, the Warriors became the first 73-win team Wednesday night by beating the Memphis Grizzlies 125-104, breaking what many considered an unmatchable mark set 20 years ago by Jordan's Chicago Bulls — oh, and Golden State coach Steve Kerr, too.

"It's a great way to finish off what was an amazing regular season," Kerr said. "I just told our guys I never in a million years would have guessed that that record would ever be broken. I thought it was like DiMaggio's hit streak, really. I was wrong, but I will say the same thing now that I said 20 years ago, 'I don't think this one will ever be broken.' Somebody's got to go 74-8. I don't see it, and I hope our fans aren't expecting that next year."

Curry achieved yet one more shooting milestone, becoming the first player to make 400 3-pointers in a season by knocking down 10 from long range on the way to 46 points and 402 total 3s. Golden State saved one last record for the closing day of the regular season, and did it for a roaring, sellout home crowd at Oracle Arena. Yet these Warriors want nothing more than to build off their remarkable run so far and ride it to another title.

"Who knows how far we can take this thing?" Curry said.

The Bulls won the title in 1996 — and Jordan mentioned the playoffs in a congratulatory statement.

"I want to congratulate the Warriors on their amazing season," Jordan said. "The game of basketball is always evolving and records are made to be broken. The Warriors have been a lot of fun to watch and I look forward to seeing what they do in the playoffs."

Draymond Green had 11 points, nine rebounds and seven assists as defending champion Golden State (73-9) topped the Jordan-led 1995-96 Bulls who went 72-10.

When the final buzzer sounded, Green bounded onto the floor and grabbed the game ball as confetti streamed down and "73 WINS" appeared on the scoreboard.

"It means I'm part of the best team ever," Green said later, still palming the game ball. "Not many people can say that — 15 guys can say that, and that's amazing."

President Barack Obama sent a tweet that said: "Congrats to the @warriors, a great group of guys on and off the court. If somebody had to break the Bulls' record, I'm glad it's them."

Congrats to the @Warriors, a great group of guys on and off the court. If somebody had to break the Bulls' record, I'm glad it's them.

The Warriors went for it, all right. They absolutely wanted this record, even when they could have been resting up for the next challenge: to repeat. And Curry? No doubt about it. He came out and did what he has all along during this sensational season: Let it fly from anywhere on the floor.

Curry had seven 3-pointers by halftime, then hit No. 400 just 43 seconds into the third.

Already the first player to make 300 3-pointers in a season, he knocked down six in the first quarter and three straight during one jaw-dropping stretch that included a 31-footer well behind the top of the arc. And Curry immediately began trending on Twitter.

"At a certain point, about eight minutes in the first quarter, I was able to toe the line a couple times, knock it down and things started to flow," Curry said. "I was searching for it at that point because I made a couple. Kind of let it come to me and then have some fun with it."

Curry shattered his own single-season record of 286 from a year ago. When he hit his 400th, the reigning MVP raised his arms and patted his chest in celebration.

He made 10 of 19 3-pointers and shot 15 for 24 overall to go with six assists as fans chanted "M-V-P! M-V-P!" all evening. Klay Thompson added 16 points with four 3s of his own before Curry rested the fourth quarter and Thompson most of it.

For all of those so-called experts who doubted the Warriors' first championship in 40 years last June that didn't go through San Antonio, this season might have changed their tune.

Golden State not only won nearly every night with a cool swagger and new focus on the offensive end but with a determination to be far better than during that special season.

From Day 1, Kerr challenged the Warriors to make big strides.

Already the Western Conference's No. 1 seed heading into this weekend's playoffs, Golden State had to get past the very Memphis team the Warriors squeaked by 100-99 four days earlier on the Grizzlies' home floor to keep themselves in position to make history.

The Warriors whipped the Grizzlies 119-69 at home back on Nov. 2, with the 50-point win the third-largest margin of victory in franchise history.

Kerr missed his team's 24-0 start and the first 43 games overall — Luke Walton led the Warriors to a 39-4 record in Kerr's absence — while dealing with complications following two back surgeries.

The Warriors had their NBA-record 54-game home winning streak in the regular season snapped in an April 1 loss to Boston at Oracle. Golden State finished 39-2 at home for the second straight year.

Zach Randolph scored 24 points to lead Memphis, which lost its fourth in a row to end the season.

TIP-INS

Grizzlies: The Grizzlies were swept 4-0 by the Warriors for the first time since losing all four meetings in 2007-08. ... Memphis lost 10 of its final 11. The Grizzlies finished 16-25 on the road, losing their last six.

Warriors: Curry is the first guard since Jordan in 1991-92 to average 30 points and shoot 50 percent from the floor. ... Curry had double-digit 3s for the sixth time in his career and fourth this season. ... Splash Brothers Curry and Thompson (276) finished with 678 combined 3s. ... Golden State had its 175th consecutive sellout, matching the second-highest total attendance in franchise history at 803,436.

Back in February we reported that Ciara had filed a $15 million defamation lawsuit against her former fiance and baby's father, Future.

The singer feels like Future, real name Nayvadius DeMun Wilburn, is trying to damage her career by making negative comments about her during interviews and on social media.

While on The Breakfast Club last July, Future was critical of Ciara for letting her boyfriend at the time, now fiance Russell Wilson, push their 1-year old son Future Zahir Wilburn in a stroller.

"Of course I wouldn't want someone to push my son. That's the number one rule. If I was a kid and my mama had a dude pushing me I would have jumped out the stroller and slapped the shit out of her," the rapper said at the time. "You never do that in our community. You don't even bring a man around your son. You've only known this dude for a few months and you're bringing him around your kid. Who does that?"

Charlamagne Tha God suggested that Wilson shouldn't have put himself in that position.

"He probably didn't know," Future replied. "She set him up. I'm not for the publicity stunts. Leave my son out of the publicity stunts."

In January the "Turn on the Lights" hit maker ripped his baby's mother via Twitter for allegedly making it hard for him to see his son.

"This bitch got control problems," he wrote. "I gotta go through lawyers to see babyfuture...the fuckery for 15k a month. I jus want babyfuture that's all. I been silent for a year & a half. I ran outta patience."

Future is now fighting Ciara's defamation lawsuit by filing a counter-suit, according to The Jasmine Brand.

He defends calling her a bitch, saying he meant "overbearing, complaining or unpleasant — not a lewd or immoral woman."

As far as damaging Cici's musical career Future doesn't think that's possible because he believes her career has been in the tank for the last 2-3 years. 

His suit further states that Ciara's last album flopped, she isn't winning any awards, doesn't have a huge fan base and isn't known worldwide.

He's asking that her $15 million lawsuit be thrown out of court, requests that she be forced to stop talking trash about him, be ordered to pay his legal fees associated with the case and asks for unspecified punitive damages for violating the law with her frivolous complaint.

Hip Hop Pioneer Afrika Bambaataa, 58, who rose to fame with his 1982 hit record "Planet Rock," is facing a growing number of allegations that he sexually molested minors.

Ronald Savage a.k.a. Bee Stinger, a former member of Bambaataa's Universal Zulu Nation, was the first to come forward. His claims are detailed in his book titled Impulse Urges and Fantasies and in a YouTube interview with Star a.k.a. Troi Torain.

Savage, 50, a Judicial Delegate in the 12th Judicial District in the Bronx, N.Y, and a Former NYS Democratic Committeeman, says the sexual misconduct began in the 70's when he was 15-years old.

Ronald Savage describes his experience as a teenager in the Bronx, where he says he was molested by hip-hop legend Afrika Bambaataa. (Photo credit: Andrew Savulich/New York Daily News)

"It took me this long to actually get this out and to be able to talk about it," Savage told Star, in response to a question about why he is just now coming forward. "Back when I was younger I was a kid when this happened. I wanted to be down with the in-crowd. Not really understanding that what Bambaataa was doing to me was actually molesting me. I didn't understand that. I knew it was wrong. I just had these feelings that was just like, yuck. Over the years as I was getting older, I wanted to report this and I wanted to come forward. But out of fear of the Zulu Nation, fear for my family, fear for me, what could possibly happen. I was shamed, embarrassed," he added. "Things like this usually happen to women ... to girls. And guys don't really talk about it."

Chuck Freeze of the Jazzy Five, who recorded and performed with Bambaataa was around the Zulu Nation during the time of these alleged incidents. He knows Savage and told the New York Daily News that he was an honest person.

“Ronald was the kind of guy you could trust,” says Freeze, real name Charles Foushee. “You could leave money on the table and know it would be there when you got back. A really good dude. Easy to talk to. Very intelligent. We had no idea about this — and we would not have tolerated it if we did. Do I believe it? Yes, I do.”

In a statement to Rolling Stone, Bambaataa, real name Kevin Donovan, addresses Savage's allegations and dismisses them as "a cowardly attempt to tarnish my reputation and legacy in hip-hop at this time."

"I, Afrika Bambaataa, want to take this opportunity at the advice of my legal counsel to personally deny any and all allegations of any type of sexual molestation of anyone," Bambaataa says. "These allegations are baseless and are a cowardly attempt to tarnish my reputation and legacy in hip-hop at this time. This negligent attack on my character will not stop me from continuing my battle and standing up against the violence in our communities, the violence in the nation and the violence worldwide."

Bambaataa's lawyer, Vivian Kimi Tozaki, also issued a statement via the New York Daily News.

“Defamatory statements were published seeking to harm my client’s reputation so as to lower him in the estimation of the community while deterring others from associating or dealing with him,” she said, referring to Savage’s book. “The statements show a reckless disregard for the truth, were published with knowledge of their falsity, and are being made by a lesser-known person seeking publicity.”

Since Savages interview three more men have come forward with similar accusations. You can watch those interviews with Star below.

Snoop Dogg is letting Arnold Schwarzenegger have it for two decisions he made during his time as Governor of California.

Esteban Nunez was released from prison on Sunday, April, 10, after serving less than half of his original sentence. He plead guilty to manslaughter in the 2008 stabbing death of Luis Santos and began serving 16 years in prison in 2010.

Santos was a 22-year old San Diego Mesa College student at the time of his death.

Esteban Nunez

Schwarzenegger commuted the sentence as the last act of his term in 2011, cutting it in half, as a favor to a political ally, former State Assembly Speaker Fabian Nunez, Esteban's father.

In 2012, a Sacramento judge called the commutation “repugnant” but legal. In 2015, an appeals court wrote that “back-room dealings were apparent,” but ruled that Schwarzenegger had been within his rights.

Stanley "Tookie" Williams

On December 13, 2005, former Crips gang leader and friend of Snoop Dogg, Stanley "Tookie" Williams, was executed in California's San Quentin Prison after Schwarzenegger denied clemency, saying, "The facts do not justify overturning the jury's verdict or the decisions of the courts in this case."

Williams had steadfastly denied committing the four 1979 Los Angeles-area murders that he was convicted of.

Snoop feels like the former governor made the wrong decision in both cases. He posted an Instagram video on Tuesday, April 12, blasting Schwarzenegger.

"Arnold Schwarzenegger's a straight bitch," Snoop said. "Punk motherfucker. How the fuck you gon' let this nigga out of jail, but you gon' kill Tookie Williams, nigga. 'Cause homeboy was your friend. You's a bitch, you's a punk. Motherfucker, I can't stand you. You's one motherfucking racist piece of shit. Fuck you Arnold Schwarzenegger. You got the right name, nigga."

The family of Nunez's victim is also upset by Schwarzenegger's decision to cut his time in half.

“It makes you sick that something like this can happen, and you have no power,” Luis' mother Kathy Santos told the Los Angeles Times. “I don’t believe he’s reformed. I take pleasure from the thought that he will screw up his life again. I don’t think there will be a way out if he messes up again.”

Former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, right, and former Assembly Speaker Fabian Nunez in 2007.

Fabian Nunez says he doesn't have one ounce of regret.

“I used my relationship with the governor to help my own son,” he told The Times. “I’d do it again.”
