Kobe Bryant stories from Olympics shared on Sports Uncovered podcast

Usain Bolt, April Ross and Sue Bird shared memories about Kobe Bryant for the latest NBC Sports “Sports Uncovered” podcast published Thursday.

In “My Favorite Kobe Story,” some of Bryant’s peers and friends shared their favorite stories, some previously untold, about the basketball legend, one of nine people who died in a helicopter crash last January.

Bolt recalled meeting Bryant for the first time at an NBA All-Star Weekend.

Bird painted the picture of Bryant ripping out a picture of an NBA rival while at the 2008 Beijing Olympics for motivation.
