Hosts Peter Kennedy, John-Lucas Duffy, and Frank Villani pay tribute to Kobe Bryant, the basketball player, the man, the father. Then, as we believe Kobe would want, we try to continue to love, appreciate, and talk about this game of basketball and the NBA. Zion is 4 games into his career and already proving to be impactful. Should the league be scared to see Zion when he actually hits his stride? What is the new ceiling for this Pelicans team? If you could have Embiid or Simmons who would you choose? Now what if you can pair each of them with other stars: Would you take Ben Simmons with Devin Booker or Towns - or Joel Embiid with Devin Booker or Bradley Beal? Plus, our last words get us talking about comedy shows and how society needs to do better. Plus Duffy's upcoming trip to NBA All-Star Weekend.

NBA Outsiders Peter Kennedy, John-Lucas Duffy, and Frank Villani breakdown Zion Williamson's debut. The Good, The Bad, The Beautiful were all present for his much anticipated first NBA game.
