The NBA’s G League made national headlines by landing future projected lottery picks Jalen Green and Isiah Todd. Now they’re making Lakers news as rumors swirl that The Mamba Sports Academy, founded by the late Kobe Bryant, could be used as the headquarters for the newly formed “Select Team” in California.
This would be a huge win for the NBA because Kobe Bryant remains one of the most popular and iconic players in NBA history. In retirement, he was known for training players at The Mamba Sports Academy including Giannis Antetokounmpo, Kawhi Leonard, and Paul George.
