Alfred Duncan pays respect to Kobe Bryant

Ghana midfielder Alfred Duncan paid glowing tribute to NBA star Kobe Bryant who retired on Wednesday.

The Sassuolo star kept vigil to watch the LA Lakers maestro play his last game of his 20-year career at a sold-out Staples Center.

Bryant poured in a season-high 60 points and steering his team to a 101-96 comeback win over the Utah Jazz.

After outscoring the Jazz by himself 23-21 in the fourth quarter, Bryant checked out with 4.1 seconds left, serenaded by "Kobe! Kobe! Kobe!'' chants.
