A fan ran onto the court to touch Los Angeles Lakers future Hall of Famer Kobe Bryant after Wednesday night's game in Washington.
After Bryant announced his retirement earlier this week, fans have been looking for opportunities to see Bryant on his "farewell tour". Although Bryant has had a subpar season so far, he had a vintage performance at the Verizon Center with a season-high 31 points, including 12 in the fourth quarter, to lead the Lakers to a 108-104 victory over the Wizards.
Bryant was hugging Marcin Gortat after the game when the fan came out of the crowd and touched him in the back. Bryant didn't have time to acknowledge the fan, who was immediately grabbed by security and taken away. Sorry, buddy, you can't do that.
