#4 Kobe Bryant

Kobe Bryant retired in 2016 wearing a Lakers jersey, and that was the end of an era, to say the least. He scored 60 points in his farewell game and received what was regarded as one of the best send-offs in international sports around the globe.

Bryant accumulated 5,640 points playing 220 post-season games, and in the mix of things, picked up 5 championship rings. He was voted an All-Star 18 times and also has the NBA MVP award for the year 2008 placed in his trophy shelf. Following this, Kobe led Lakers to 2 more championships in 2009 and 2010, winning the Finals MVP on both the occasions.
