New York – Yesterday, the song “Thank You” by Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats was featured in an official Kobe Bryant farewell tribute video via Twitter. The video includes farewell and thank you messages from musicians, including Snoop Dogg, Ice Cube, Taylor Swift, and Justin Timberlake. Last year, 5 time Championship winner Kobe Bryant announced his retirement from the NBA. The Lakers player ended his 20 year career last night, scoring 60 points in his final game, not only making for a Lakers win, but also breaking an NBA scoring record.
