The Best of Kobe Bryant on Throwbacks

For Throwbacks there is only one way to celebrate Mamba Day: by throwing back to the greatest Kobe stories ever told on the show. Whether it’s from players who had to guard him or hidden behind the scenes moments where Kobe let his guard down and was just a bro, we have heard every type of Kobe story imaginable on Throwbacks. Jerry remembers the time Kobe bet the Entourage cast on halfcourt shots and paid his debt in the most epic way possible. Or for Matt, there was the time they were just two retired dads chilling in LA. Plus stories from Bonzi Wells, Michael Redd, Micah Nori, Raymond Felton and more on the man, the myth, the legend, The Black Mamba, Kobe Bryant.   A big thank you to our sponsors:  BetMGM: Make It Legendary.
