Episode 65 - Kobe Bryant's Messaging That Propelled Agent Zero To Coach

On this episode, we come back after a long lay off with a lot to talk about. Agent Zero makes it official, and talks about his move to get into the coach ranks at the youth level. For Gil, he’s spent plenty of time on the sidelines as a parent of young players, but recent events have pushed him to become more involved. It’s something he’s been contemplating for some time, but he finally settled on his reasons to commit. Meanwhile, the tragic loss of Kobe Bryant has rattled the basketball community and the world. For Gil, he has a special connection to Kobe, and until now, hasn’t fully detailed it. As you’ll hear, they’ve had a lifetime of connection through the game. From Gil’s infatuation with a young Laker star, to the origins of a rivalry and the ultimate compliment only reserved for top tier competitors...it is a truly special relationship. Gil also defines the Mamba Mentality in his words, along with Kobe’s messaging that drove Agent Zero to use his intellect and personality to coach.
