Dear Kobe,
Where do I even start?
Growing up in England during the 90’s, basketball wasn’t really embraced. This is a country enshrined in soccer after all. For a young boy like me, who didn’t care for “football,” I was searching for something else.
I remember long before the internet and cable TV when there were only four channels available, every Friday night we would be treated to one NBA game that had taken place earlier that week. My earliest memories of this come from when I was 9 back in 1996. It would usually be Michael Jordan’s Bulls, Antoine Walker’s Celtics or your Lakers.
