(SB Nation) — The end of Kobe Bryant’s career is just days away. A farewell tour lasting a season will come to its culmination on 4/13 when the Lakers host the Jazz in what’s being called “Mamba Day.” To celebrate the occasion, and Kobe’s career as a whole, Nike pulled from its considerable stable of athletes to talk about what Bryant’s career means to them.
The list is too long to name everyone, but includes Neymar, Roger Federer, Serena Williams, Tiger Woods, Elena Delle Donne, Richard Sherman and many, many more. It’s neat to see their perspective as athletes on a fellow competitor, or if you’re Federer acknowledging Kobe means discussing your personal emoji usage.
Whether you loved Kobe, hated him, or used his name for emojis, one thing is certain: 4/13 will be memorable.
