Excerpt from ‘“It’s Not his Business To Talk About my Game”: Kobe Bryant Was Offended At Shaquille O’Neal’s Absurd Comments’ article by Advait Jajodia:
On October 25, Jackson was in his office watching video of the Mavericks when Bryant walked in, fuming. “He popped off!” Bryant said. Jackson didn’t have to ask for the ‘He’ to be identified. “You’re kidding me,” Jackson replied. “What did he say?” “Did you read the paper?” Bryant said. “It’s in the paper.” Indeed it was. And O’Neal’s quote was historically scandalous. He told the Los Angeles Times that Bryant (wait for it . . . wait for it) needed to rely more on teammates until he regained strength. Which was, eh, correct.
“Kobe, what’s wrong with this?” Jackson asked. “Shaq is right. This is exactly what we want you to do.” “Maybe,” Bryant replied. “But it’s not his business to say that. He can’t be talking about my game, about what I should be doing.” “You’re not gonna take offense at something like that, are you?” Jackson asked. “It doesn’t make any sense.” “Yeah,” Bryant said. “I am.”

Excerpt from ‘Phil Jackson, Magic Johnson talk about Kobe Bryants relationship with Michael Jordan’ article by Stephen Beslic:
Lakers legend Magic Johnson explained what MJ meant to Kobe and vice versa.
“You could see the beginning of this special relationship that was going to take place and start forming then,” Johnson said. “Kobe respected guys but it was different [with Jordan]. He idolized Michael in a way that was different from anybody else. It was like, ‘Man, I’m trying to be like you but I also want to show you what I got in this All-Star game too.’ I loved the fact that I was there and I could witness it just like Larry [Bird] and I witnessed during the [1992] Olympics, how we were passing the torch to Michael. Some things you never forget and that was a moment I’ll never forget — the torch being passed.”
Kobe credited MJ with helping him win five NBA Championships.
“It was a rough couple of years for me, coming to the league, ’cause at the time the league was much older. It’s not as young as it is today. So nobody was really thinking much of me. I was a kid that... shot a bunch of air-balls, you know what I mean?And at that point, Michael provided a lot of guidance for me. I had a question about shooting his turnaround shot, so I asked him about it. And he gave me a great, detailed answer but on top of that, he said, If you ever need anything, give me a call,” Kobe said.
