In his last professional trip to Salt Lake City Kobe Bryant experienced a wide range of welcomes and honors as his Los Angeles Lakers took on the Utah Jazz. First he was greeted with a most Utah of gifts—a set of skis and a ski pass (with his face on it). Then because they're apparently the only fans that remember Kobe is actually kind of a dick he got some boos during the pre-game farewell/tribute video. Finally as the game was coming to a finish things got weirder than a David Lynch movie. Bryant spent after shooting 1-of-11 for five points in 28 minutes tossed his game-used armband to a group of Lakers fans a few rows back.

After the Lakers beat the Miami Heat Dwyane Wade decided to get a little revenge on Kobe Bryant and crash his press conference. Take a look:

The Oklahoma City Thunder elected to sit Kevin Durant against the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday night, and it ultimately backfired as the Pistons pulled off a huge victory. Pistons point guard and former teammate of Durant's in Oklahoma City Reggie Jackson was rather animated after the win. Jackson's antics didn't sit well with Durant, who called his behavior "bush league."
The Chicago Bulls are floundering down the stretch, and they may have some desire to trade star guard Jimmy Butler this summer.
LeBron James is clearly driving the bus for the Cleveland Cavaliers, but his attempt to coach his teammates when he was rested for a game and Stephen A. Smith's support of it is stupid.
A day after the fall out of D'Angelo Russell recording Nick Young secretly the rookie guard is trying to make amends for his actions. The Lakers faithful were not so welcoming as they booed Russell during player intros and when he touched the basketball.
Golden State Warriors forward Andre Iguodala teamed up with the popular ride service 'Lyft' to prank Festus Ezeli recently, and it was nothing short of hilarious. During his ride, Ezeli hears news over the radio that he's been released from the team and isn't quite sure what to make of it. Eventually, the car pulls over, and Iguodala informs Ezeli that he's been pranked. Iguodala almost takes a cake to the face from Ezeli as a result.

Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant was in the middle of one of his many crowded press conferences following a 102-100 win over the Miami Heat when none other than Dwyane Wade walked into the room and caused a stir. Bryant found it absolutely hilarious.
Ben Simmons and his career at LSU has ended seemingly in a flash, and the opinion of him now isn't the same the most had in the beginning.
Marcelo Huertas seemed to drift out of bounds inexplicably, but he rallied to a make a fantastic trick steal on an unsuspecting Miami Heat player.
