Tributes to Kobe Bryant went viral on the internet in China on Thursday after the basketball star scored 60 points in his final game, ending 20 years in the NBA.
Bryant is immensely popular in China, the NBA's biggest overseas market, and he signed off in style in the Los Angeles Lakers' 101-96 victory over the Utah Jazz.
The tributes to Bryant overshadowed the Golden State Warriors' 73-win NBA all-time regular season record, also achieved on Wednesday (Thursday, Beijing time).
