Watch Shaq, Magic, Jack Nicholson and more say goodbye to Kobe in pregame tribute

Who in the world could give Kobe Bryant the proper introduction before his final NBA game?

"Excellence for 20 years." #ThankYouKobe https://t.co/GmqmLClyFd

How about fellow Los Angeles Lakers legend Magic Johnson -- followed by goodbyes from Shaquille O'Neal, Phil Jackson, Gregg Popovich, an emotional Carmelo Anthony, Lamar Odom, Jack Nicholson (!!!), and many, many more:

Kobe naturally took the first shot for the Lakers and started cold before getting into a rhythm. He scored 15 of the team's first 19 points and finished the first quarter with 13 shots, two rebounds and a block.
