Summary

Ramona Shelburne is uncompromising. The longtime ESPN reporter and proud Los Angeles native welcomes Dan to her beloved city and speaks to the heart of why she's never wanted to leave "home". Days after her father's passing, Ramona opens up about how she's been moving through life without her "biggest fan" and how her parents have cheered her on from her days as a star college athlete to becoming one of the best sports writers in the game. Ramona also shares untold stories of how her relationship with Kobe Bryant grew from beat journalist to friend and the many ways his life and legacy will forever impact her own. Ramona details the crazy behind the scenes from her coverage of former Los Angeles Clippers' owner Donald Sterling’s scandals that led to his lifetime ban from the NBA and how she produced the story into the new FX series, CLIPPED. FX’s Clipped: The Scandalous Story of LA’s Other Basketball Team is now exclusively available on Hulu. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
