Excerpt from ‘"Tell Dre 50 tonight'" - Andre Iguodala recalls a savage Kobe Bryant revenge game’ article by Damien Peters:
Bryant and "Iggy" shared many battles throughout the years, most notably in the mid to late 2000s, while both were in the midst of their respective primes.
The two rivals faced off 22 times in their careers, with Iguadola coming away victorious on 13 occasions. During these head-to-heads, naturally, Bryant would reign supreme in the scoring department, as he was largely the number one scoring option on most teams he was on, while Iguodala always flourished within a "swiss army knife" role for his team.
Bryant averaged 24.4 points during their meetings to Iggy's 14.4 points, but the current Golden State Warriors veteran led the duo in all other major statistical categories.
The peak of their rivalry came over 2006 and 2007. For Bryant, dropping 48 points in January of 2006 against Iggy's Philadelphia 76ers was the biggest scoring performance he had, while Iggy's came a year later when his Sixers edged the Lakers, and Iggy individually outscored Bryant 31-30.

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.
