Denverse Stories: Between Eagle and Basketball
How do we wrestle with larger than life figures? We discuss Kobe Bryant and Eagle, Colorado and from the perspective of young Denver Nuggets fans. For more, please read the full show notes…
We recorded this episode a couple of days after Kobe Bryant's passing. I'm editing this now a couple of weeks later, having listened to it again for the first time. I have a lot of apprehension about releasing this episode because it is such a hard topic to cover. There are so many different angles and people have such strong emotions, both positively and negatively, about Kobe Bryant. That's also why I thought it was important to release this episode. When we decided to do the Denverse podcast, I thought it wanted to start having conversations in different ways. I feel like this episode brings up a lot of complicated angles to Kobe Bryant's legacy. Our attempt may be imperfect. It may not say everything that I would like for it to say, but it is a raw, conversation done with the best of intentions. Thank you for listening to the Denverse. —Derek
