With the tragic news of Kobe Bryant’s passing we brought together a great group to be a part of the conversation this week. Not to mourn, but to celebrate Kobe’s life, we wanted to share our first impressions of him, our perspective into his mentality, his 20-year illustrious career, through a Raptors lens, but most importantly who he was as a person and father.  To best represent this conversation we sat down with Alex McKechnie a 6-time NBA Champion (5 with Kobe's Lakers and 2019 with the Raptors), Leo Rautins a 25-year Broadcaster for the Raptors, Bruce Arthur an award-winning NBA writer, and Akil Augustine a co-host of this show and a man who’s recognized deep into Toronto’s basketball culture. We hope you enjoy this special episode and take away a moment or story special to us. We as fans and professionals in the NBA family have all channeled the Mamba Mentality one time or another and will continue to do so. There will never be another Kobe Bryant.
