Q&A with Roland Lazenby, author of Showboat: The Life of Kobe Bryant
Kobe Bryant will always be one of my favorite NBA players. I was crushed the day he announced that he was going to hang up his sneakers. I was crushed after he played his last game, even when he did go out in the most Kobe-esque style. That’s why when I found out that Roland…

Mixing work and leisure in Macau
