Excerpt from ‘Michael Jordan Once Humiliated Innocent On-Looker Just For Wearing Kobe Bryant’s Jersey at His Camp’ article by Tonoy Sengupta:
Michael Jordan is the king of taking the most mundane things personally. After all, there is a reason that even NBA greats from his generation had a rule of never talking trash to the man. But, no matter how volatile the man may have been in this regard, Kobe Bryant was never too far behind.
It’s hardly little known that the Black Mamba’s idol was His Airness, so of course, his petty side was always going to be replicated in some form or another. But what many probably didn’t expect, is for MJ’s petty side to be stoked to an especially high level any time he saw anything related to the man.
And unfortunately for them, a fan was once caught on the business end of this hilarious phenomenon.

Excerpt from ‘Shaq reveals big regret on Kobe Bryant relationship’ article by Ryan Glasspiegel:
Shaq wishes he had called Kobe Bryant.
Shaquille O’Neal has an HBO docu-series that debuts on Wednesday night, and in promotion of the film he spoke to People about his regrets on his relationship with his former Lakers teammate.
“You put off [getting in touch],” Shaq said. “I’ll never get to see Kobe again, in real life, forever. And I just should have called. He should have called. We both should have called. But he’s working, I’m working, so it’s, ‘I’ll see you when I see you.”
Bryant, his daughter, Gigi, and seven others died in a helicopter crash in California in January of 2020.
“[I thought], ‘We’re both going to get old. We’ll both be at the 50-year Lakers anniversary.’ Other things shouldn’t have been more important [than getting in touch], but little things [got in the way],” he said.
He urged others to proactively stay in touch with their friends and family: “Call your mom. Call your brother. Call the homeboy you used to party with in college. Forever is a long time.”
O’Neal and Bryant won three NBA championships together on the Lakers. They had a notoriously strained relationship by the time they were done as teammates. O’Neal acknowledged this in his eulogy to Bryant when the Lakers great died.

Excerpt from ‘Lakers: How Kobe Bryant Served As Long-Term Mentor To Young Former Teammate’ article by Alex Kirschenbaum:
Los Angeles Lakers legend Kobe Bryant served as a mentor to many of the young players he was surrounded with during his final years on the club. Now-Minnesota Timberwolves starting point guard DAngelo Russell was selected by LA with the second pick in the 2015 draft out of OSU. His first NBA season would be Bryants last.
Recently, Brandon Scoop B Robinson of Bovada Sports spoke with Travis Singleton of Sneaker Reporter about Russells relationship with Bryant, which apparently continued long after Russell had been traded to the Brooklyn Nets and out of LA in 2017.
You could tell [Russell] has that Mamba Mentality, you know, Singleton said. And his vibe with the Mentality is ice in my veins. So at the end of the day, just being around Kobe, his presence when youre around greatness all the time, youre going to want to be great, you know what Im saying? So I think the time [with the Lakers] really helped out, and I know Kobe was a huge mentor to him, somebody that he definitely talked to on the daily... picking his brain and stuff when he was in LA. But I cant think of another player off the top of my head there, Im pretty sure there are, but I cant think of another player thats been in both of the big time markets, LA and then New York.
