However, the struggles of both teams are only side notes on the relevance of this match.

Kobe Bryant stands as one of the best players in the league and has recently revealed that this will be his last season playing professional basketball.

A star for 20 years, the Lakers guard has amassed a number of accolades including NBA Championships, scoring titles and much, much more in his time with the league.

It was always speculated whether this would be Bryant's final year donning the Purple and Gold, and it was confirmed when the player himself revealed that his body could not take the punishment any longer.

And as a native of Philadelphia, this meeting marks the final time that Bryant will be playing in the Wells Fargo Center in a competitive nature.

Expect fans from both teams to momentarily forget about their records and simply enjoy the show that is about to commence.

However, at the end of this, both teams still need a big win. This is the first time the two teams will meet and they are scheduled to only play twice – one in each home court.

Philadelphia's young core should still try to get the win as they are trying to break their bad streak at the moment, while the Lakers are expecting to fire on all cylinders as they try to get Bryant a victory in his last time in Philly.
