Young Kobe was in school then, the instructor was nothing short of His Airness. Kobe was Jordan certified, amazing.

RIP to KOBE. This was Kobe break out year right here. That All Star Game took him to a different level. I remember he even had a game on 64.

People dont realize that Jordan spawned a whole breed of new players including Kobe, D wade, Tmac, Vince Carter, James Harden, Kevin Durant, Carmelo Anthony and Lebron James. They all grew up watching Mike and at the time MJ was playing, there was noone else in the league who was considered to be as good as he was. MJ was the best in the game during his career and everyone knew it. He was also idolized by many more even Allen Iverson. Its bc of Jordan the NBA is so popular and he set the bar so high that even with all those great players i mentioned above, none of them have even come close to surpassing Mj and all of them fell short of the throne of the goat

This is quite funny after watching The Last Dance w/ the context of Pippen leaving MJ to carry the team for the first half of the season late in their careers.

this is 1998, mj already had 5 rings . he is 35 on his peak. Kobe is only 20 on this day. mj is his idol. most people would be scared to play. mj intimidated many, but not kobe. Kobe held his own and believed on him self he could compete against my, despite how stacked mj is on Kobe. This is proof what a prodigy and genius Kobe is. He dared to compete with mj, and he is 15 years removed from mj, with all the years of skills, practice, etc. Only kobe knew what he would become and I think this is the 1st time in mj s career that a worthy successor he sees in Kobe. This is incredible to see again

Context is what's ALWAYS missing from these MJ vs (fill in the blank) videos, when younger fans try to comment on them. They just tend to look at things at face value. But the REALITY of the matter is that at that time, this was CHI 3rd game in as many nights. And being the OLDEST TEAM in the league at that time, they were a bit fatigued. Because by the 3rd quarter they were gassed and it showed. Whereas the lakers were one of the YOUNGER TEAMS in the league, and had a day off before this game. So they were CLEARLY RESTED, not to mention jacked up SKY HIGH about playing MJ and the defending champion Bulls. They caught the CHI at the right time.

Context is super key. Great context. Anyone who watched NBA in '96, '97' (72-10), '98, knows the Michael Jordan Bulls were the Champions and team to beat. Think about it LA didnt even make the ECF those years. How was Kobe giving Michael a problem? lol.

Big brother and lil brother. Miss you Kobe. Kobe always showed respect to Michael Jordan. And Michael respect kobe.

I loved this game from way back. Jordan being reminded of his past, Kobe being humbled by his future. I still remember the excitement after 20+ years.

You could never take your eyes off of Jordan, even when he was on the bench, that's how iconic this basketball player was, even without decent internet back in those days he was a renowned global supestar right up there with Michael Jackson (another MJ).

Jordan, not bad for a guy past his prime! People forget, this is a man in his late 30s STILL leading the league in scoring! Averaging almost 30 ppg!

Idc what era we are in, that Jordan two footed fadeaway is effective and always will be effective.

I remember being excited watching this because of MJ and Kobe facing up.

I watched both of these guys from the beginning and after seeing the game evolve to what it is today, it's crazy to come back to these replays and see how much game Jordan had for his time. As great as he was I think he was best known for his athleticism and mid post game in his later years. But his handles were definitely slept on. He was doing moves every trainer is teaching now.

Watching these Last dance/Laker/Chicago vids I cried my heart out seeing Kobe win his first championship and jump up and hug Shaq. When I was a kid I breathed basketball, I attended Laker games. KOBE was everything to me. This was a fantastic watch. Thanks for uploading. I will forever remember these days as well as the signature, southern California screams of excitement heard at the bars whenever Kobe would hit a game winning shot

Amazing.

Rest In Peace to everyone lost during that crash, my condolences to their, family, friends, and loved ones. God bless everyone and have a good day
