Celtics present Kobe with piece of parquet floor

After 20 years of representing the Celtics' greatest rivals, Kobe Bryant was honored by them during private ceremony before his final game in Boston on Wednesday.

The Celtics — represented by owner Steve Pagliuca, president Rich Gotham and general manager Danny Ainge — presented Bryant with a piece of the franchise's original parquet floor.

In addition to the hardwood itself, the frame also contains a photo of Bryant on the floor, a log of each of his games in Boston and an inscription that reads: "In recognition of your many legendary performances on the Parquet floor. From your friends and rivals, The Boston Celtics."
