Los Angeles Lakers superstar and 5-time NBA champion Kobe Bryant announced Sunday that he will retire at the end of the 2015-16 NBA season.
Bryant opted to go straight to the NBA after high school and embarked on what would become a 20-season career with one team. No NBA player has been with one franchise for as long as Bryant has, and he's got highlights to show for it.

Bryant also scored 62 points in three quarters earlier that season.
