This was the best reflection on Kobe I’ve heard/seen/read. Great job.

Paul Como

Great ep!

Larry Bird Melman

This was a really good and cool episode.

David Powell

Great ep guys, one thing though, we don't know Carl's current shoe size to complete the journey.

Cameron Isenhower

Very respectful episode, I also never rooted for Kobe.(kings fan since turn of century). But his work ethic, success on court, and commitment to being a father is beyond admirable. However, before 8 minutes in on the very first flagrant ones, you all mentioning not liking Kobe Now this isn't like a "you guys are mean" but it's again, how important he was to basketball culture and identity that he did touch all our views on basketball. How tragic it is to lose an icon.

Kawai Davis

Great episode. Carl avoiding Bart at the very end was a light hearted end to an insightful episode.

Really good ep fellas. Very nice discussion

They said it best, this tragedy took the wind out of my sails. It strangely helps, in the inundation of coverage of inspiring personal stories about Kobe, to hear from other people who, like most of us, never met him but still need to talk about it. I’m grateful for the thoughtful, compassionate dissection of a complicated person, phenomenal athlete and adoring father. Can’t say why I needed it so much, but I did. Thanks guys

A great and completely appropriate, honest, candid, respectful without ever feeling false.

The Flagrant Ones

Thanks for all the great responses everyone, really glad you enjoyed. Definitely agreed that this was a cathartic episode that helped contextualize the whole situation--the guys were super thoughtful about how to approach the news and I think it shows. Anyway back to dumb stuff and me fucking up next week! Stay flagrant friends

Sammyfein

Fascinating discussion, honestly. And agree with all who said this was necessary and genuine from you guys. Hayes said it best, for better or for worse, Kobe has inspired a whole generation of kids towards success, who wanted to work as hard and play as hard and dominate as much as he did. We lost a really valuable member of society on Sunday. It’s tragic and the loss of the others makes it worse.

This was a great episode guys

I don't come here for this. J/k, I loved it. Thank you Ones!!! 💛💜💛💜

Jimmy Sisto

I needed this more than I knew that I needed this. <3 thank u kings

Dr. Zanzibar

Seriously, that was some heavy lifting you all had to do. Such a tragic and surreal event. Thanks for the thoughtful & honest discussion. Well done.

Christopher Chiasson

This might sound strange, but one of my first thoughts after hearing the news was "I wander what they're going to do on Flagrant Ones". This show has gotten me so much more into the NBA, it's indelibly tied to my enjoyment of the sport. You made the right call by doing this. Thank you.

Marc

wholeheartedly agree. The way the Ones grieved was careful, thoughtful, and sublime. I wore a size 8 when Kobe came into the league

Marc Davis

Guys, this is really just fantastic. You should really even consider making it public/free. One of the best takes on all of this and I think it'll help a lot of people. Thank you.
