It’s a year on from the tragic passing of Kobe Bryant and his daughter Gianna. Jaydee, BJ, Mo and Ovie discuss the legacy of the sporting icon. Max Whittle gets an in-depth look into Kobe’s childhood in Italy in an interview with teammate and friend Davide Giudici. The guys then share their favourite Kobe moments, then discuss the Mamba Mentality and his impact on the city of LA.
In Hot Or Not we discuss if Kawhi Leonard is quietly dominating, or are the Clippers just doing what’s expected? Then we focus on the rise of Britain’s OG Anunoby, should he be in the all-defensive team of the year? Then this week’s viewer’s pick gets a bit of a frosty reception – ‘This Knicks team is the best since 1993!’
In the Primetime Preview we look at the biggest rivalry in the NBA, coming to you on Saturday night, as the Celtics host the Lakers at 1.30am on Sky Sports Arena. Then on Sunday we have a double header - the Clippers face the Knicks at 6pm on Sky Sports Arena and BJ thinks the Knicks might win (depending how much PG and Kawhi play), then at 8.30pm you can join the Heatcheck team on Sky Sports YouTube to watch the Jazz @ the Nuggets watchalong.
