Lang and Russ share their favorite stories about Kobe Bryant photoshoots they've worked with him as they look at his impact in the game of basketball and sneakers.

Fast forward to the split, and Kobe's free agency was a basketball frenzy as companies tried snag him for their roster. He shook up the sneaker game by bringing in low-cut signature shoes.
