    This picture was taken 13 years ago after the Lakers won the title in Orlando. Kobe was wearing the same champagne-soaked shirt, jersey, shorts and armband he had on at the arena back at the hotel. People call it his first without Shaq but it was really his first with his girls.

    Gigi Bryant would have been a freshman on this UConn national championship team. I thought about Kobe Bryant when UConn played UCLA in the Final Four. Reggie Miller was hoping Gigi would stay closer to home and go to UCLA but Kobe said, "She is hellbent on going to UConn!"

    Giannis Antetokounmpo has a simple solution to fix the NBA All-Star Game: - Make it Team USA vs. Team World. - Rotate the host city between the USA and other parts of the World such as Paris and London. He believes that will change the game’s intensity and make players care.

    The stage for the 2020 NFL Draft in Las Vegas will be on the water at the Fountains of Bellagio. The players will be transported to the stage by boat.

    I asked a scout about Shedeur Sanders and he said: "I know you're focused on him with each passing pick but you'd be amazed at the number of teams that don't even have him on their board. They're not even considering him. He's not a part of their conversations."
