best surprise ever, a glimpse of his old self. >> this is like old times now. >> reporter: kobe bryant ending his 20-year nba run like a champ. >> you go out with this at 37. remarkable. >> reporter: at age 37 snatching a new record for the oldest player to score a season high 60 points in a single game. >> kobe, going out in style. >> reporter: the los angeles lakers, the team where he spent his entire career to a last-minute upset over the utah jazz. in the fourth quarter the entire jazz team scored just 21 points. kobe had 23 by himself. >> oh! >> reporter: checking out with four seconds on the clock. >> there goes kobe bryant. there goes basketball greatness. >> reporter: the crowd on its feet.

jack nickelson, david beckham, snoop dogg and jay z taking the most coveted seats in the house. another player making history, stefan curry who broke the chicago bulls record of most games won in the regular season paying trip bute to the five-time champion known at black mamba. >> kobe's had a huge impact on the game and the game is in a much better place. >> reporter: shaquille o'neal giving a nod to the 18-time all-star. >> it was fun playing with you. it was fun playing against you, best laker ever. >> reporter: tweeting out these photos of kobe enjoying the postgame locker room champagne celebration. dropping the mike on mamba day with a heartfelt good-bye. >> man. man. you can't write something better than this and i'm more proud,

about the championships, but about the down years because we didn't run and we did it the right way. what can i say? mamba, out. >> reporter: after the game kobe said he didn't want to get emotional but also didn't overlook the little things putting on his jersey for the very last time. running through the tunnel for the last time. of course, the entire night knowing it was the last nba game he would ever play in. robin. >> that's right, kayna. it was a drop the mike moment. uh-huh. we'll have much more on steph curry and the warriors' win later this hour. coming up. the race for the white house and donald trump mending fences with megyn kelly as he battles with republican leaders and protests erupt at his pittsburgh rally overnight. abc's tom llamas there with the latest. tom. >> reporter: george, good morning to you. we were right in the middle of those confrontations last night. there was a lot of rage outside

able to maintain control and this morning a lot of people are talking about a very odd comment donald trump made last night about the late penn state football coach joe paterno. >> move back. >> reporter: overnight, trump protesters and supporters clashing outside of trump's rally. anger unboth sides. we were there as tensions nearly boiled over. inside, trump himself in protest mode against his own party. >> and the people that shouldn't have this power took all of the power away from the voters. >> reporter: trump furious that his rival senator ted cruz has outfoxed him winning more delegates than him in several states. >> the republican system is a rigged system. >> reporter: the chairman of the republican party who's been careful to criticize trump saying in this one trump is just wrong. cruz says trump's problems have nothing to do with the rule, it's that trump is a sore loser.

the people vote against donald, he screams, the voters are stealing the election. >> reporter: but the gop front-runner is not the only one upset. some republican leaders in colorado and delegates in other states say they're receiving death threats. >> the guy sent me a text message saying that i would never make it to cleveland and neither would my family. >> reporter: also overnight fox news' megyn kelly announcing she met with donald trump who she's tangled with throughout the campaign. >> the meeting was at my request and he was gracious enough to meet with me. >> i give her credit for, you know, for doing what she did. >> reporter: a possible kelly trump interview now in the works. >> but, you mentioned that comment about the late joe paterno raised a lot of eyebrows. let's take a look. >> i know, i know a lot about pennsylvania and it's great. how's joe paterno?

>> now, joe paterno died in 2012, so when donald trump said how's joe paterno the crowd sort of seemed stunned. no one knew what to say. in fact, no one was even clapping and when he said bring that back apparently he was talking about the joe paterno statue taken down by penn state in the wake of the jerry sandusky sex abuse scandal. everyone was hanging on every single word but when he said that about joe paterno everyone was sort of stunned. thanks very much. >> now to the democratic candidates. bernie sanders drawing massive crowds at a star-studded rally overnight hoping to pull off a big upset in the primary here in new york as he prepares to face off against hillary clinton in a abc's cecilia vega has the latest. good morning, cecilia. you. after all the big rally, all the fighting here in new york for hillary clinton and bernie tonight. the face-off on that debate stage and this is the debate

well, it's happening now. the final opportunity to make their case. it was his biggest new york crowd so far, one of the biggest of his entire campaign. so many people they climbed trees to catch a glimpse. nearly 30,000 in all pouring into and spilling out of historic washington square park, arch. some of them famous themselves lee. >> is brooklyn in the house? >> reporter: and when the man they came to see finally took a aback. >> there are a lot of people here tonight. [ cheers and applause ] >> reporter: sanders riling up the crowd by going after his rival. >> if somebody gets paid 225,000 for a speech, it must be an

>> reporter: but in a stark contrast a tale of two very different campaign stops. at the same time hillary clinton held a new york rally too at a community center in the bronx, 1,200 supporters, not one mention of sanders, just that other guy. >> unlike donald trump we're not saying some people don't belong, we're not saying some people are not wanted. >> reporter: for both sides tuesday's vote is a must win. and despite clinton's sanders is feeling not just hopeful but confident. >> i think that if we have a large voter turnout on tuesday, we're going to win this thing. thank you all very much. >> reporter: these were two very different events overnight. clinton spoke for 14 minute, sanders went on for more than an hour. here's the catch, though. new york is a closed primary meaning only democrats can vote and you guys know this has helped hillary clinton. >> so far it has, cecilia, thank you very much.

heads to the vatican as well tomorrow. more on this now from jon karl down in washington. new poll out this morning that showed the two republican front-runners actually having some issues with the general electorate. >> reporter: that's right. this poll looks at the republican candidates and shows that the most of the country simply doesn't like them. if you look at donald trump, his unfavorability rating is at 67% of the general public of registered voters but look at ted cruz. he is now at 53% unfavorability that is the highest unfavorability he has seen throughout this campaign. he is growing more unpopular by the day. the only candidate not disliked by most of the electorate is john kasich and, of course, he's mathematically eliminating by clinching before the election. >> staying in right now. at the same time we're hearing reports that corey lewandowski, the trump campaign manager who got in that tussle with a reporter a couple months back is going to be cleared of charges by the prosecutor this morning.

but there is a big shake-up now inside the trump campaign. >> reporter: huge changes inside the campaign. corey lewandowski is not going anywhere but what trump has done is bringing in political professionals. he's bringing in the establishment, george, the latest big hire is rick wiley, the campaign manager for scott walker, he is also the former political director for the republican national committee so as trump complains about the rules he is now bringing in people that know those rules well and can navigate that system, the question is whether or not it's too late. >> and he's got a lot of favorable states coming up. okay, jon karl, thanks very much. to that big scare at sea. a dangerous coast encounter with russian jets raising echoes of the cold war and shows them repeatedly flying near a u.s. warship. the baltic sea. abc's chief global affairs correspondent martha raddatz has the latest. good morning, martha. >> reporter: good morning, robin. this morning the russians are

precautions when flying by that u.s. warship, but there was nothing safe about this. the russians have not come this close to u.s. ships in decades. it's not just a dangerously close flyby, one within 30 feet of the u.s. destroyer, it is one of the most aggressive russian acts against the u.s. military since the end of the cold war. russian jets flying in a way that simulated an attack and not just once, but over and over. in the last two days the jets making more than 30 passes over the american ship in international waters. and roaring at just 100 feet off the baltic sea causing a wake in the water as if a giant speedboat had raced by. >> it's totally unsafe. no reason to be that low. no room for error and lots of

the attack jets, the russians had a helicopter flying low altitude circles around the u.s. times. the americans on the destroyer repeatedly radioed the russian pilots of the helicopter and the jets in both english and russian ignored. >> could they be entering a new chapter of looking to intimidate nato in the northern baltics or is this something where they're looking to distract nato as they begin a spring offensive in the ukraine? >> reporter: this morning they continue to work diplomatic channels but over the last few years the russians have only gotten more aggressive with these flybyes and nothing the u.s. has done so far, george, has stopped that. >> boy, so aggressive. okay, thanks very much. we move on and get the latest on that affluenza teen who fled the country after violating probation for a deadly drunk driving accident. 19-year-old ethan couch has now appeared in court for the first time as an adult sentenced to

abc's matt gutman has the details. >> 180 days in the county jail. >> reporter: that ruling against the so-called affluenza teen ethan couch stunning the courtroom. >> 180 days in this case. >> reporter: and in the third. >> consecutive to the other cases. >> reporter: and the fourth. >> after you spend 180 days in your other three cases -- >> reporter: in total he ordered had him to serve 720 days in county lockup, nearly two full years for the drunk driving deaths of four people in 2013. >> you're not getting out of jail today. >> reporter: if ethan couch seemed to sleepwalk through his juvenile court trial, controversially sentenced to probation his first court appearance as an adult was a rude awakening. >> this favoritism he is still a kid or juvenile is gone. it expired at 12:00 monday. he's now an adult. he needs to be treated like one. >> reporter: couch has been in jail since january when he was extradited to texas after

on the run with his mother after ethan appears to have violated parole by being at this boozy party. on wednesday he was ushered into court by the same sheriff who had vowed to track him down. >> i think that, you know, it's hit him that this is a life that what he feared if not expected. >> reporter: sporting a shaggy beard his blond roots starting to grow back now after he dyed his hair in mexico as an apparent disguise. the judge seemingly one-upping the prosecution's request for a 16-month detention adding eight additional months for violating violation and prohibiting him from drinking or driving for another seven years. >> do you understand that. >> yes, sir. >> reporter: as part of his original sentence he was ordered to in-state rehab but court documents show his millionaire parents told the state they were unable to pay for it so

shelling out nearly $190,000. couch's parents chipping in just about 5%. george. >> okay, matthew, thanks very much. let's go to amy with the other top stories. missing catholic priest in florida. >> a man described as a person of interest was taken into custody overnight in the search for that florida priest. reverend renee robert was last seen on sunday. police believe foul play is involved in his disappearance but they're not elaborating. overnight police tracked down 28-year-old steven murray in south carolina where they say he abandoned roberts' car. murray has a long criminal issue and reverend robert had reportedly been trying to help him. police in houston say a deputy con staable was shot six types in what they say was an un unprovoked attack on the street. the officer's condition uncertain. a man matching the suspect's description is being questioned. overseas now and some encouraging news in the search for more than 200 schoolgirls

nigeria. a new video appears to show some of those girls still alive. it is the first time they have been seen since may of 2014. well, the families of the 1 150 people killed are suing the arizona flight school where the pilot was trained claiming the school did not properly screen andreas lubitz who suffered severe depression. everyone on board died when he deliberately flew into that mountain. new concern about the exploding air bags blamed for ten deaths in the u.s. regulators say another 85 million cars and instructions with takata air bags may now need to be recalled unless the company can prove they are safe. and finally, the rules of etiquette at your local movie theater may be changing. the amc theater chain says it may begin to allow texting during movies with special texting sections in the thesers.

millennials to go without their phones for two hours is just not realistic and i'm going to rely on a quote from my mom here who said the inevitability of something does not make it right. >> i like that. i heard that one before. >> that's good. >> well said. >> thank you. >> all right. ginger, how about that storm out west? >> i will get to that western storm, the big one you can see over the pacific ocean will

right now to that father who confessed to kidnapping his son to raise him in a new state with a new name 13 years ago sentenced to four years in prison even though his son begged the judge not to take his dad away. amy has the story. >> reporter: 19-year-old julian hernandez stood up in court telling the judge he has forgiven his father for kidnapping when he was just 5 and that he loves him anticipate wants him to be a part of his life. >> i don't know what else to say other than not to send my father to jail. >> reporter: an emotional plea from 18-year-old julian hernandez at his father's sentencing. he did not want his face shown on camera. >> everyone wants to talk about all the bad things he's done and i think that he's done a lot of good. >> reporter: asking for leniency for the man who pleaded guilty to kidnapping him 1 years ago. in 2002 defendant bobby

5-year-old son julian from his alabama home. he and julian's mother had a tumultuous relationship and moved to cleveland where he created new identities for him and julian. for 13 years julian's mother said she searched for her son. authorities even using this age progression picture hoping to find him. >> julian was the center of my life. >> reporter: attorney gloria allred reading a letter on behalf of julian's mother in court. >> during my darkest moments i considered suicide. i wanted to die. >> reporter: julian discovered he was kidnap while applying for college saying his social security kept coming up invalid but julian said he forgives his father saying he raised him to be the man he is today. >> he's raised me well in my opinion, pushed me far in school and he's the reason why i get some of the best grades in school. and why i'm going to college.

more than anybody else i've ever known. >> reporter: bobby hernandez showing regret for his actions before the judge sentenced him to four years in prison. >> i accept full responsibility for everything i did. >> reporter: now julian has since been reunited with his mother who lives in alabama but he will stay in cleveland for now so he can finish up high school but a heartbreaking story all around, george. >> it sure is. let's talk more about this with abrams. that testimony from the son so emotional but the judge apparently says the law is the law. >> heartbreaking story. the judge sort of went to a middle ground, could have done probation, which is what the defense was asking for, the prosecutor is asking for up to 54 years behind bars. the son's testimony was critical here. not just that he is saying, you know, don't blame dad, i forgive dad. but that the kid seemed so well adjusted. the problem with this in my view is this is still a light sentence for all the sorts of charges you're talking about,

tampering and forgery and pled guilty to a whole host of charges here. you know, if we judge these kinds of cases by what happens to the kid later, that sends the message that, you know what, kidnap your kid if you need to, figure it out later if you can make -- turn your kid into a great kid then it's okay. this was someone who took their 3-year-old child away from its mother over a breakup dispute, changed his name and i understand, i have enormous sympathy as i watch this and listen to that young man talk about how important his father has been but don't forget let's go back 13 years to the heartbreak of that mother having her child stolen from her home. this was a light sentence. >> and that's why this may not be it for the father. >> alabama also now considering possible charges here unclear if they'll pursue it because that's where he was taken from. this happening in ohio. >> dan abrams, thanks very much. all right, george. now to that historic win in the

surpassing the bulls' record overnight notching their 73rd regular season victory. abc's t.j. holmes, he's here. he was up. he saw it all, good morning. >> yeah, robin, you know it was considered one of those hallowed unbreakable nba records. nobody will get 100 points in a game like wilt or eight championships in a row like the celtics for 72 wins in a season like the bulls. the warriors did it, got to 73 and made it look kind of easy. >> it's official. number 73. >> reporter: golden number 73. >> the greatest regular season now belongs to the golden state warriors. >> reporter: the new regular season record on the back of this man, steph curry. >> for three. >> it's good. >> reporter: who led the way with 46 points as golden state beat the memphis grizzlies. >> back to curry. bang! >> reporter: with his eighth three-pointer the nba's reigning

history to make 400 threes in a season. >> curry does it, 400 three-pointers. >> they were kind of totaling and knock it down and things started to flow. >> reporter: the warriors have had '95/'96 chicago bulls reign. michael jordan writing, records are made to be broken. war yorz head coach steve kerr who played on that bulls team made history once again. >> i will say the same thing now that i said 20 years ago. i don't think this one will ever be broken. >> you were saying just a second ago about relief. those guys last night looked almost relieved to have this whole run over and now it's time to go to the playoffs. they don't win the championship and people say are you really the greatest team. now they got to deal with that. >> 400 three-pointers. >> magic johnson didn't attempt that many in his entire nba career. he made 400. >> wow.

coming up here baseball player adam laroche speaking out for the first time leaving the game for his son and now revealing something else that may be behind it. the great escape, the octopus breaking free from his tank. made headlines all around the world. how he did it. we'll explain coming up. come on back. their flea and tick killer doesn't have to be. nexgard, the vet's #1 choice for dogs, is a delicious, beef-flavored chew that kills both fleas and ticks. so it's easy to give, easy to take. reported side effects include vomiting, itching, diarrhea, lethargy and lack of appetite. use with caution in dogs with a history of seizures. why mess around? for powerful flea and tick protection, ask your vet about nexgard. the #1 choice of vets for their dogs and yours. i had so many thoughts once i left the hospital after a dvt blood clot. what about my wife... ...what we're building together... ...and could this happen again? i was given warfarin in the hospital, but wondered,

i spoke to my doctor and she told me about eliquis. eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. not only does eliquis treat dvt and pe blood clots. but eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. knowing eliquis had both... ...turned around my thinking. don't stop eliquis unless youdoctor tells you to. eliquis can cause serious, andin rare cases, fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you havean artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. if you had a spinal injectionwhile on eliquis call your doctor right away ifyou have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. while taking eliquis, you maybruise more easily... and it may take longerthan usual for bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care forsudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase yourbleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about allplanned medical or dental procedures. eliquis treats dvt & pe blood clots. plus had less major bleeding. both made switching to eliquis right for me.

now to former baseball player adam laroche spoking out about leaving the sport after the chicago white sox asked him not to bring his son to the ballpark every day. this morning he's revealing there may be something else behind that decision. abc's eva pilgrim is here with the details. good morning, eva. >> good morning. adam laroche's decision to leave baseball came as a surprise to many, leaving $13 million on the table and says he's never looked back. this morning we are learning his decision to leave may not have been as simple as many once thought.
