Kobe Bryant Documentary
In the fall of 2015, prior to Kobe Bryant's final season, I created a 17 minute short documentary on his career. I was blessed enough to see him play in person twice. The first time was on February 12, 2012 against the Toronto Raptors, where Kobe scored 27 points in the Lakers' 94-92 win. The second time was on December 30, 2015 against the Boston Celtics, where Kobe scored 15 points and had 11 rebounds in his final game in Boston.
Rest In Peace, Kobe.
Past Features
In February and March of 2015, I wrote three feature stories for SLAM Online, the online version of SLAM Magazine, the oldest basketball magazine in the USA (1994). My piece on Kobe Bryant is listed in the "Notes & Sources" section of Roland Lazenby's biography Showboat: The Life of Kobe Bryant. Lanzenby is an award winning sports writer, who has authored Micheal Jordan: The Life, Bull Run, and Blood on the Horns, among other successful biographies.
