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.
