“I have the mimeographed stat sheet of Bill Bradley’s last game at Dillon Gym. It’s faded but significant to me because I outscored him, even though we lost. I was happy to see him go and I knew he couldn’t guard me any better than I could guard him. It was 1965. Later on there is a picture of him making a 15-foot hook shot over my outstretched arm in his book“A Kobe jersey that was signed – my father got it for me.

When I told him I think I better go to the doctor he said ‘OK…after the game’.
