Andrew D. Bernstein, Legends of Sport Podcast Host

NBA legend Kobe Bryant and NBA Hall of Fame Photographer Andrew D. Bernstein had a uniquely personal working relationship, culminating in their collaboration on The New York Times best-selling book The Mamba Mentality: How I Play.

From the author, Amy Goldwert Eskridge:

In 1996, I produced a news/talk show about Kobe Bryant, an 18 year old basketball player about to embark on a career with the NBA straight out of high school. On the show, the guests debated whether it was a good idea for Bryant to skip the college experience and turn pro. I think most would agree he made the right move. During his 20 year career, Kobe Bryant became one of the most accomplished athletes of all time.

NBA Hall of Fame photographer Andrew D. Bernstein documented his skill, intelligence and passion, both on court and behind-the-scenes.

I caught up with my old friend Andy who shared some heartfelt, inside stories. Click below.
