Hoopdarshan Episode 24: The Kobe Episode

Hoopdarshan, the Indian Basketball podcast, has reached its 24th episode, which means that it's just about time to pay homage to Mr. 24 himself, Kobe Bean Black Mamba Bryant. After 20 years in the NBA, Bryant will be retiring at the end of this season. Co-hosts Kaushik Lakshman and Karan Madhok are joined by hoops enthusiast Kunal Mathew to discuss the highs and lows of Kobe's career, his most-memorable moments, his legacy, and his place in the 2016 NBA All Star Team.

Listen to Kaushik, Karan, and Kunal talk about many faces of Kobe, including the cocky teenager Kobe, failed rap star Kobe, Shaq's friend/foe Kobe, Mr. 81 Kobe, Beijing Olympics Kobe, MVP and 5 rings Kobe, and finally, elder statesmen Kobe. We also discussed our favoured All Star teams for Toronto next month, and dove into the Chicago Bulls' chances in the Eastern Conference.



Hoopdarshan aims to be the true voice of Indian basketball, and since we're such hopeless fans of the game, it will become the voice of everything basketball related we love, from the NBA to international hoops, too. On every episode of Hoopdarshan, we will be inviting a special guest to interview or chat to about a variety of topics. With expert insight from some of the brightest and most-involved people in the world of Indian basketball, we hope to bring this conversation to a many more interested fans, players, and followers of the game.
