Allen Iverson Attends Kobe Bryant's Jersey Retirement Night
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Allen Iverson and Kobe Bryant went through some vicious battles during their respective careers, including the 2001 NBA Finals.
On Monday night in Los Angeles, the Lakers honored Bryant -- the Philadelphia native -- by retiring both the No. 8 and No. 24 jerseys. AI, who was inducted into the Hall Of Fame last year, was in attendance for Kobe's retirement night.
