Podcast: Farewell Kobe: 1978-2020 (01-28-20)

On this DITCOW special, we share our thoughts and feelings on the horrific tragedy that took the lives Kobe Bryant, his daughter Gianna, baseball coach John Altobelli, members of his family, and others on a helicopter headed toward the Newbury Park area.  Dave presents his perspective on one of the true greats in NBA history, and who he matured into as a man, his love of family, his many interests, and his indelible impact on the City of Los Angeles.  Though not a perfect person, Kobe imparted strong work ethic, a commitment to winning, and a thirst for knowledge and success.   We share why this will not soon be forgotten.  We hope to have our "NBA Report" co-host Chris in GA join us for this unofrtunately timed retrospective of a fascinating, remarkable life and the lives of others in the helicopter crash.   Later, a look at how the NBA has responded thus far.
