Before the Thunder hosted the Lakers on Monday night, marking Kobe Bryant's final road game, OKC's star tandem of Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook presented Bryant with a special retirement gift:

According to Anthony Slater of the Daily Oklahoman, the book Bryant received featured hand-written note from each of the Thunder's players:

The next logical question, of course, is how honest was Durant? Because in his cameo in a recent Nike spot honoring Mamba Day (April 13th), Durant described Bryant with a popular expletive for the Mamba. We highly doubt he used the same verbage in his note.

The Thunder also honored Bryant with a special pre-game introduction video featuring his high school coach, Gregg Downer.

Among all the crazy retirment gifts and tributes Bryant has recieved, this was a classy, nice gesture.
