	Description:		In Los Angeles, it's basically become a holiday. They light up the Santa Monica Pier, and buildings around the city to commemorate 8/24, or Kobe Bryant Day. Given how important this day is for so many fans, and the impact Kobe still has on the league and the city, we looked back at his career and took questions from viewers/listeners to the show. First, it's interesting to think about the different ways Kobe impacts different fans, and the multiple eras he spans. For some, he's an athlete they covered professionally. For others, an athlete they watched for 20 years as an adult. That's a different experience than cheering for him as a kid, or engaging in the mythology of Kobe at the end of his career, after he retired, or even after the helicopter crash that took his life. There are many eras of Kobe Bryant, one of the many things that make him such a fascinating presence. The mailbag asks: What are some of your favorite memories covering Kobe? How did he interact with his teammates? What are the What Ifs? What if he hadn't been drafted by the Lakers? What if he hadn't hurt his Achilles? Could he have still been performing at a LeBron-esque level in his year 20? How much life did those legs have left? HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1: It's 8.24.
