Among the figures who discuss competing against Bryant are Stephen Curry, Charles Barkley, Grant Hill, and Reggie Miller. With a spot-on foreword by Lakers player and, later, general manager Jerry West, this audiobook includes a statistical pdf from the players whose points of view are reflected in the text.
