Welcome to Sports-Ish with Elisa Hernandez! Closing out Mamba Month I welcome a voice of Los Angeles coming over the PA systems at L.A. Sparks, South Bay Lakers and Los Angeles Lakers games Jason Baquero. We discuss our careers having worked for the Los Angeles Lakers, and how the 2020 season is the most memorable of our career. (6:50) We share how Kobe Bryant played a role in the 2020 Championship, and what Jason remembers the most from the Lakers championship run. I reflect on the Dodgers World Series run and how L.A. thrived off the two franchises bringing home back-to-back titles. (19:36) Jason shares his emotions about receiving a 2020 NBA Championship ring, and one of his most memorable Kobe Bryant games at Staples Center. He also reveals his favorite Lakers championship story. (28:05) Jason flashes back to his younger days and how he got his career started as a PA announcer in L.A. He also reveals how entering contest in San Diego ended up giving him his opportunity to work for the Lakers, which led to the South Bay Lakers, Sparks and LAFC. (44:00) We talk about the importance of practicing our crafts, knowing what your worth is and the hard decision to let things go. We also discuss the sacrifices we make to do the things we love.
