Today is officially Kobe Bryant's new holiday. So what can we expect next from LA's favorite basketball player? And why would Tim Tebow ever want to play baseball?

Every week we take a deep dive into the world of sports with Andy and Brian Kamenetzky, who have covered the sports scene for ESPN and the L.A. Times. 

On tap this week: Happy Kobe Bryant day! The new Los Angeles holiday has officially been declared for August 24th to commemorate the jersey numbers that Bryant wore for his career with the Lakers. We'll discuss what the best way to celebrate is and what we might be able to expect next from LA's favorite basketball player.

Plus, why former Florida Gators football Quarterback Tim Tebow wants to play professional baseball... and why it might not be such a horrible idea.

All that and a lot more.
