We were lucky enough to spend some time in the suburbs of Philadelphia and see Kobe play at Lower Merion. We reminisce about his brief rap career, taking Brandy to the prom, watching a freshman try to guard him, and what it was like to know about Kobe a year ahead of everyone else. We discuss the horror of what it must be like to have a child die, the tragedy of Gigi Bryant, missing out on Kobe the family man, and the world's reaction to the accident. We lighten it up a little with some talk about playing in 8-foot basketball leagues and getting robbed by crooked little league umps and then we talk about what happens when you die!
