The Open Run With Will Strickland
Episode 156 – Kobe
The late, great Kobe Bean Bryant passed away on January 26, 2020.

Bryant’s legacy lives in his contributions to the game, his kicks and worldwide respect.
And, in one of the most proficient offensive seasons in the Association’s history, he’s had some other all-timers join him in the 70+ Club.
Scoring in the NBA is different today, but do you understand why?
