Connoisseurs of Sport: Our Tribute to KOBE! (& the start of the nba playoffs)

Listen Later

EPISODE 36: Last week, we witnessed the end of a legend. For the last time, Kobe Bryant laced up his sneakers and took to the court. And, boy oh boy, did the Black Mamba put on a show! He dropped 60 not only on the Utah Jazz but also on history. (And, by the way, we don’t care about how many shots it took him to get there. Thank you very much!) In this episode, the Scout and the GM discuss all things Kobe, especially his particular brand of greatness. Is he the G.O.A.T.? In addition, they talk about the start of the NBA playoffs. But, this episode belongs to Kobe! Enjoy!
