Lakers auction section of flooring that honored Kobe Bryant in finale
Before Kobe Bryant's last game April 13, the Los Angeles Lakers installed two new hardwood sections on the court, one with the number 8 and one with the number 24, the two numbers Bryant wore for the team in his 20-year career.
On Wednesday, the team announced that it would be auctioning off the No. 8 section from that game, in which Bryant scored 60 points.

The floor piece, which measures 20 feet by 8 feet, is signed by Bryant, and the proceeds will benefit the team's charity, the Los Angeles Lakers youth foundation.
The auction began at 3 p.m. ET on Wednesday and closes May 15. The current high bid is $12,100.

Wouldn't be surprised if Kobe kept #24 part of the court for himself or if it gets sent to the Naismith Basketball HOF.
