Kobe actually was the ONLY person who treated MJ the way he wanted to be treated: a true competitor who was still worth competing against at the highest level. The ultimate send off from warrior to warrior.
Not the only … you forgot Drazen Petrovic
@@toilabanda I told a friend of mines about this guy when I first saw the video lol
He was the only one the nineties and 2000’s but in the eighties Magic Bird and Dominque beat Jordan easy and it was worse to play as wilt cahamnerlaim explain now after nineties it became easier for basketball players to play the game of basketball
Kg, was pretty good that game he was mvp I'd say kobe and kg both had that mindset.
You think it was only Kobe?
Kobe gave us an extension of Jordan when he retired. They both are truly irreplaceable.
Agreed
Yeah
indeed
Kine anit get that same love while he was alive y'all crowned bron over MJ and especially Kobe with out a fight
@@imakebeatsxwillfrmda6230 Idk what city you're in, but here in LA Kobe got love from season 1 to season 20 & beyond. Facts
After seeing MJs emotional speech at Kobes memorial , you see this match-up completely in a different light . We know their respect for each other was immense!
Honestly I believe this is one of the main reasons why MJ loved Kobe! Because of the winning spirit and fire in Kobe! Regardless of the perfect ending you got to think about it. Jordan wouldn't want somebody to have a perfect ending if he was competing in the game regardless if it was an All-Star game or finals! You have to have that winning tenacity
Facts
Facts
@@aarontlrjr73 True but he wanted thaat from Kobe too tho Because Without Jordan there's No Kobe bryant period & Kobe would be emotional if it Was Michael Jordan because he turn his life around ....
@@stevyluv743"without MJ there won't be a Kobe"-- never knew Mj is Kobe's father.
10:27 I truly believe this is what Jordan wanted all along. He wasn't happy with the direction of the NBA so he came back. Kobe beating him is actually the best way to send him off. He can rest assured that the NBA is in good hands, truly staying competitive going forward. He did the same thing to Bird, Magic, and Thomas. He calls it "passing the torch". Not really a Jordan fan, but I like this aspect of his persona. Made me smile. 🙂
That alpha spirit in kobe 😂😂😂 Jordan probably was extremely proud that kobe didn’t miss the free throws on purpose
his missed 1 free-throw . he was fouled at the 3pt line
@@JIX9ISLER1986 Right. MJ said, "He could've easily made all 3 free throws and won the game". Kobe showed a lot of class with that.
If you watched that game live you know he missed it on purpose, from the moment the ball left his hands everybody and their moma knew it was a miss.
Imagine the battles Mike and Kobe would've had if they both hit their primes at the same time. That shit would be PPV worthy.
Naw bro Mike was way too quick for Kobe
@@danzieltaylor6394 yea sure
@@danzieltaylor6394 nope
Kobe was quicker than prime Jordan. Check the states Jordan was the better scorer and Prime Jordan can jump out of the gym, and had more blocks per games than Mamba. The matches would be epic. I got Jordan winning 6/10 games.
Quit trying to compare mj to Kobe Kobe idolize Mike skills but he no comparison to him the rivial Mike had with Celtics the pistion the Knicks Kobe couldn't take that kind of punishment no way
Wait...the fact that Isiah Thomas was Jordan's coach in the All Star game is amazing in itself 😆
That’s like Tom coaching Jerry 💀
You know Isiah loved that moment when he was announced the coach😂
@@BlackRoyalty_ Facts!
@@yomomsahoe5797
How do you figure?
Zeke doesn't get enough respect. He's the ONLY superstar who BEAT Jordan, Magic, and Bird and did it without another Top 50 All Time player. Rodman sneaked into the Top 75, but y'all gotta put some respect on Zeke!
@@DiaAkin I do, it’s just they don’t get along with each other definitely back in the day
I almost forgot what playing defense in the ASG looked like until I saw this. Rarely happens anymore.
yup back after the 2023 ASG
I don't think there is much defense in today's NBA they just run down to collect a rebound or throw it inbound that's it! The nba is a dam joke nowadays and I mean a complete joke!!! Some teams play a little D but not many I mean look at lebum james he only plays offense alot of times he doesn't even make it to the other end of the court!!!!
"I shoot em better when the clocks going down" Kobe Bryant, the Beast
Even tho he bricks em almost everytime except for like 4😂
lol u seem to be the ones who be counting his misses. the thing is.. mathematically, the more you shoot the basketball, the more misses u gon have. so dont let that fact dilute the fact that he IS clutch to the fullest. u obviously havent seen em ALL. uve seen the misses tho.
@@VortexFromFire kobe is one of the best, if not the best shooter ever. throughout his career he kept knocking down jumpshots while being completely smothered by defenders
@@VortexFromFire The hell are you talking about he delivered so many daggers and buzzer beaters. Never got to watch Jordan but why you gotta disrespect Kobe for?
That's a reach tho. Kobe was not very clutch. He def didn't have the Jordan clutch gene, Jordan just wasn't gonna miss in those moments
Man that's why we loved Kobe. Reminds me of how he did Gasol in the Olympics
Most ppl hate Kobe 4 dis stuff but we kno it was all in good spirit jus 2 toughen guys up these guys jus soft dat cry bout lil things true competitors vs friendship trophy's miss the Mamba man.
Kobe Bryant will always be my GOAT because he was my era. I grew up watching his career blossom & I was raised by my parents & relatives to be a die-hard Lakers fan. Kobe was just 1 year younger than me yet I looked up to him so much. He was the only non-family member/non-personal friend that I ever shed tears for. I wish he & Gigi were still here. His untimely death has solidified himself as a true legend of all sports. RIP Kobe & Gigi. We miss you ✌🏾💜💛🐍
@@theones1442 You can’t dictate who MY goat is. It don’t work that way. What are you, a communist?
TNT The LakeShow Kobe Show
@The Ones 144 Even MJ has his view as who is GOAT. And guess what he didn't say it was himself....
@The Ones 144 and you must not have seen Dr. j cuz Jordan ripped all of Julius Erving game. So stop it! And you can’t tell nobody who THEIR favorite player is! Y’all be tripping! 😂
Kobe IS the goat period.
Kobe didn't ruin it. Jermaine Oneil did
Came to write exactly that!!! I'm still gonna write it:
Kobe didn't ruin it. Jermaine O'Neal did!
I remember it hurt Kobe to make those free throws
Nah kobe was lethal with the buzzer beaters back then. If he didn’t get fouled the game was over guaranteed cause Kobe would’ve drilled that 3 lol
@@taewiz863 Maybe he had made the shot, maybe not. But O'Neal made sure Kobe would get 2 points by fouling him and sending him to the free throw line...
That was such a dumb foul.
@@taewiz863 then why didn't he make all 3 free throws? I suggest you look at Kobe's percentage in last second shots and see if you change your mind about him being "lethal."
Kobe was from another planet just sick nasty talent god bless his soul much love and respect
Planet Saturn 🪐
Too bad he didn't keep using his spaceship and went for our inferior manmade technology...🚁
KOBE IS KOBE 😂😂
I respect Kobe for that because this ain’t no damn pity party 😭 if you wanna win , you gotta earn that shit !
Who earned more than Jordan? Who was better than Jordan? Who did Kobe go to to learn the game if it wasn't Jordan, who gave Kobe a style to run with if it wasn't Jordan and what did Kobe give the league if it wasn't Jordan. Kobe whole career can be summed up in one word; Jordan! Kobe gave it up later before he passed, he simply said " What you get from me is from him" Sounds like Jesus telling the people who were gambling in the church that they were sinning when he said " These are not my words but the words of my Father" in other words "What you get from me is from him" That's some biblical stuff for you!
@@vincespell u really typed all that just to not understand the comment lmfao
@@hurtcobaine I was drinking my 4th cup of Coffee...Lol
@@vincespell i mean, kobe learned from his dad, and playing euroball, and he was i nthe NBA at 17. Think about every dude you played in high school would try to emulate who the star of their day was, so thats a moot point. Also, I bet you a months salaray if Kobe was in Air Canada's position, he wouldnt have even OFFERED to give up his spot for Jordan. Matter of fact Kobe woulda been shit talking him. "Man Mike I'd love to give youy my starting spot, but I'd hate to upset the 391,477 MORE voters I got than you did."
@@vincespell Cuz, what????
Kobe said MJ got to earn it from me 😂😂😂🤣
Coming from a spoiled brat guy that copying MJ from head to toe....wow smh...
@@gokublack3107 MJ copied Dr.J what you mean, everyone immulated someone before them
It was already said, but I'll say it again:
Kobe didn't ruin it, Jermaine O'Neal did. I remember it like it was yesterday.
@The Angry Sports Chat💯
Except Kobe would have made the shot if not for the foul
I was looking for this comment… I remember it too… I also remember how pissed I was when he did foul
Watching this shit gets me in my feelings . Good lord I miss Kobe and all these REAL ballers
KG had 37 points on 71 percent shooting this game, 2003 all star game is what it’s about just a bunch of stars going crazy.
The west was full of bigs. Garnett was being guarded by guards. Granted, he was still the best player on the court at the time, but nobody could stop that fade away he had.
Kids today don’t really know how nasty kg was in his prime on my mama
The 2000s was ridiculously star studded imo
And the all star game was still competitve back then..
Kg was a beast 💯
Was also second in MVP voting that year behind Tim Duncan. Was also first team all Nba and Defense.
Kobe didn't ruin the game at all, and he squeezed it like a lemon... I admit that this match is top3 allstar game ever for me and thank you Kobe for that!!! He's exactly like Jordan said he could have hit three shots with ease. He was throwing for 3 because he wanted to win... Jordan and Kobe are different mentalities... This match was their duel. Jordan passed the baton and Kobe showed respect by missing one free throw to give the aging basketball god a chance. I will also add that Vinc's act letting MJ into the top five and Marion's amazing defense at this throw made this match an icon of the All-Star Game, the icing on the cake, a determinant of fun and competition in one... What would I give to make the All-Star Game look like this every year... Imagine the matches... that goes head to head Kobe vs MJ as in this match ... Steph Curry vs. Ray Allen... Duncan vs Jokic... LeBron vs Giannis... Old and new generation and similarity of style... It gives this game so much love and fierceness among the people of the world. What an amazing sport...
well said
back revisiting after this year's horrendous ASG
Joking vs Duncan tho...
@@stevyluv743
Jokic and Duncan play with team...
Both of them play slow... and Jokic is a champ now...
I think my comment age very well
Jordan and Kobe had the Mamba Mentality,they were alike when it came to playing on the Court but I would agree Kobe learned from watch him and others and worked harder at the Gym
Kobe made 2 of 3 FTs to send it to 2OT. I truly believe he wanted to knock down a 3 and win the game, but when he got fouled, he didn’t want to win on FTs because of the moment. Even tho Kobe would never throw a real game, I believe he purposely missed 1 FT to send it to another OT just so he could continue matching up with Jordan.
I love the idea but Kobe is mean muggin you rn for even suggesting it
He definitely did mj said he could of easily ended it
What’s even more ballsy of Kobe is that he missed the FIRST one. He was so confident he would make his free throws he threw his only life line away and still made the ones to go to overtime
@@joseramirez2310 Kobe made the first free-throw, missed the 2nd, and made the 3rd.
Kobe was right. You have to earn it. It doesn't matter who you are. Thats one of the reasons why the NBA is jacked up now.
Kobe was like okay prove it to me while you got everyone mesmerized then I'll respect you 😂😂😂
What do you mean the nba is jacked up? So you telling me, players are letting other players beat them willingly? Lol and people agreed with this? That makes no sense
@@FloydWhoElseTV He means that his team sucks now so he wants to 😭
@@FloydWhoElseTV Have you not watched the past few all star games? They're almost unwatchable... (Respect to Giannis for always trying though?)
@@wesleybelcher9225 unwatchable? They play to a target score at the end, just like the all star game with jordan didnt get real competitive until the 4th quarter. Funny you saying this and everyone has agreed since they started doing the target point in the 4th instead of a time limit, its been the most competitive in a long time.
The day Michael came back to play for Washington was the day his perfect ending was ruined. He still played like one of the top guys in the league which is a testament to his greatness. But that last shot in Utah was the perfect ending. There shouldn’t have been anything else after that.
I agree but he still wanted to play. You can't blame the man for that. It's his career. He earned the right to continue playing if he chose to do so. Remember the Bulls dynasty was broken up and almost every player on that team wanted to go for a 7th title. Jordan himself has said they should've kept running it back until someone beat them. Because even he knows no one wins all the time. And throughout history dynasties were beaten by other teams. Pistons overcame Celtics and Lakers. Bulls overcame the Pistons and Lakers sort of. Pistons ended the Lakers run. Injuries and the Raptors ended the Warriors run even though they won 1 more a few years later. And some team will dethrone the Warriors this season. Because they look done. Mike is the ultimate competitor so it sounds to me like he wanted to keep going until someone beat em. Instead his own body, father time, and Jerry Reinsdorf beat em.
💯
As a guy who grew up in Chicago watching every game I could in the 90s, can't blame MJ. Bulls management was to blame, we could've had a 5 peat at least if management & MJ were on the same page. History shows what Bulls management did after MJ which is nothing
He was just fine he had quit before so let’s stop the madness man was well rested AGAIN what he is doe is the goat of quitting
Retired lmao no he quit like he said by accident in an interview but quickly smirked and said retired
He knows retire is another word for QUIT!
See, I look at this video and laugh at Kobe.
"Nah he gotta earn it!"
That's what Mike has told Kobe his entire career up to that point every time they matched up. Mike said "earn it". Kobe gave him the treatment. That is respect. That's the respect that Jordan loves, the Passion of the game, the win is what matters. The challenge is what matters.
Isiah was desperate to patch things up w/ Mike. MJ was already hesitant about taking Vince's spot. He would've been disappointed in Kobe if the latter didn't take the last shot. Just like how Bryant scolded LeBron for passing up two clutch shots in the 2012 ASG.
Kobe didn't ruin MJ's perfect ending, it was Jermaine O'Neal doing an unnecessary foul at the end.
Agreed. I believe Jermaine thought i better bet in Kobe's face here or he may hit the shot and "ruin it." O'Neal just went too hard at em.
When I hear stories like mike and kobes competitive nature it makes me feel better knowing I'm not the only one like this
The Respect the players had for mj you can't beat that the goat.
I remember this like yesterday. It was kind of sad the GOAT going but that made Kobe emerge and take the throne.
Kobe Bryant the best skilled basketball player ever
you are an amazing, editor, story teller, and researcher. Kudos my friend.
MJ was still dealing with knee issues after his knee injury in the 47th game of the 2001-2002 season. He was avging 25ppg in those 47 games and had the Wizs at .550 W/L record after being .223 win team the season before.
Mane MJ was the reason why I watched basketball. I always been a MJ fan after he retired I cried. That's what Kobe came in I became his fan and became a Lakers fan. R.I.P to Kobe. The two best players in my Era. And wish these players best success in their career.
Much Respect to KOBE…. HE WAS MY GREATEST PLAYER I HAVE EVER SEEN 😉 And MJ WAS IN MY ERA…. Yes MJ was Great & So was MAGIC…. BUT KOBE BRYANT IS SOMETHING SPECIAL 🤔🤔🤔 WHY 🧐 Because he did it his way 🤔🤔 20 years with the LAKERS & Showed MJ & others that you had to earn the WIN no matter how great you are ! YEAP THAT’S RIGHT 🧐 & when he retired, he showed EVERYONE THAT PLAYED BASKETBALL “ This is how you do it… 60 points & the WIN “🧐 KOBE BEAN BRYANT DID NOT BACK OR BOW DOWN TO ANY BASKETBALL PLAYER OR ANY CHALLENGE THAT CAME HIS WAY🤔🤔🤔 “ KOBE B BRYANT WAS JUST “ SPECIAL “ WHY ? Because he will ALWAYS be in our conversation & compared to many other basketball players 🧐 May KOBE, GIGI & ALL OF HIS FRIENDS REST IN HEAVENLY PEACE ✝️ Not with us but NEVER FORGOTTEN ☮️😉🏀🥇🙏🏾 Ms.Fredi 🌻
@Aaron9 You have ur opinion & I have mine 🧐 KOBE BEAN BRYANT THE “ G O A T “ 🙏🏾😉☮️Ms.Fredi 🌻
lived through this moment as a Wiz fan. what a all star squad that truly was
I think mike was actually nervous lol. The look on his face when he was speaking to vince. I remember watching this game live as a kid kobe became my villain that day lol.
Watching Jordan even at that age was a absolute blessing . Nobody plays the game of basketball and completely controls the game the way he does . Lebron don’t hold a candle to him . Goodnight discussion over
Two quotes that perfectly summed up those two and why they had such high regard for one another. First Kobe telling Isaiah no, Jordan gotta earn it. Then Jordan making sure to mention that while Kobe did hit two free throws to send it to double OT and eliminate his game winner, he could have won it right there had he not missed one. Ha!
Can't blame Kobe. But J. O' Neal and especially that ref that called the foul definetely deserve the blame.
I remember seeing 👀 that and looking at the reply like "yo, the man didn't even touch him." It was a bs call.
He definitely fouled him and Kobe sold it to the refs...
@@kisswriters Nobody would have complained had they just not called that foul. With all the bad calls in important games in the NBA I really can't believe they ruined an absolute legendary moment like this.
@@tech-no-logictech9743 I'm sure a lot of fans would've complained had the refs not made that call. Nonetheless, I'm glad Kobe sent Jordan's sellout ass out the league on a sour note...
@@kisswriters I don't think the fans would've been mad it wasn't even a foul.
Love the memory of one the greatest time period ever 🙏 and honestly Kobe was being Kobe so yea everyone who been in that game didn’t play in their last year of the all star game I think
Gotta love Kobe not giving no ground to MJ
Kobe thank for the lesson..." He gosta earn it". God bless u and urs brother
thank you thank you for this awesome edit...those were the days for me...watching MJ is part of my memories growing up
Jermaine O'Neal ruined it not Kobe... I remember it like it was yesterday
Nah it was KG. He went off that game
@@huncho5005 MJ hit a fade away with a few seconds left to put the East up 2. Kobe shots a fade away 3 as time runs out and J.O. fouls him instead of just putting his hands up. Sends Kobe to the line shooting 3 free throws and he literally could've won it if he hit all 3 free-throws but he hit 2 and the East lost it in overtime. J.O. runined MJ story book ending
The ref ruined it. Bad call on J.O. he did his part defending the shot
@@huncho5005 Stop it 🤣🤣🤣
@@OlSkoolAJ Shawn Marion ruined it too.. ppl forget Jordan had another chance with 1 sec left
Everybody in awe. Kobe going at him. They are not the same.
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone, amazing video. 💯👍this was one of my favorite all star games growing up. I can't believe it'll be 20 years next year. Kobe was definitely going at MJ this game for sure, great game.
Thanks for another great video Nick Smith. I remember watching this all star game in my senior year of high school. Before social media we talked about everything during gym or lunch time. We all blame Jermaine butt for making that awful unwanted foul. Slide with him and contest the shot. It was almost like kobe told him to foul. You know how players talk to each other while guarding or dribbling. Kobe was being himself after Jermaine gave up that play. We talked about that moment, WWE, and the Chappelle show. Good times when life was simple and more free minded without a bunch of Karen's walking around.
Thanks for watching Steven!
Bro, I was in third grade when this happened. It was sad knowing he lost this game.
I love the way this was edited, great job!
This game was like a microcosm for how MJs career ended. It should of been over after he hits an amazing shot, but both the game and his career continued
That's why we love Kobe dearly !!
They start jawing at each other and Jordan instantly starts gaming Kobe up as a big brother. Love it
Very nicely done. I appreciate the time you put into this video. Ty!
The Two GOATS going at it ✊✊✊
Doesn’t matter if it’s allstar game, practice, 1 on 1, regular game, playoffs, finals etc. Kobe Bean Bryant will fuck you up. That level of competitiveness he had is second to none.
And that’s why Kobe DAGOAT. Black Jesus! Black cat! Dafuuuu his name is MIKE and when I get to the league I’m going at em HARD! 17 year old kobe
Perfect ending? It would've been perfect if he retired in 98. Washington was far from a perfect ending
Love of the game. He stated that early in his career and you have him saying that about the contract with the bulls on the doc series. I guess that was it love for it. And not wanting to give up right away. Man was so competitive is difficult to switch off
Showing he could be that good at that age (on bad knees) was pretty cool
He carried a bad team and gave the sport everything he had left, as a life long Bulls fan it sucked seeing him on another team but it was good to see him still playing
It was far from a “disaster” also. People remember it so negatively mostly because they compare it to “Bulls MJ”. He was actually still very good as a Wizard.
Washington was a reality check poked holes in the legend of MJ.
Before Washington I thought MJ could walk on water.
Kobe wuttin havin it 😆
That year was epic. I don't even remember the game but I remember the city was off the meat rack that whole weekend. 2003 was crazy.
For those that weren't alive or too young at the time, its difficult to put into words how crazy watching that shot go in was. My house erupted (and I'm a Lakers fan by the way). Even the next day at school, all everyone talked about twas that shot. I couldn't imagine how bigger it would've been had it not been for Kobe. 😈
all: lets give it to jordan, this is his last game
kobe: oh? he got to earn it!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Your.vids are first rate man. Keep up the great work!!!
That all star game looked more competitive than today's regular season games
Genuinely was!
it was
I get we are nostalgic but what 😂. I love the 2000s but they ain’t start playing hard until the 4th quarter this game.
@@datsapaddlin Yea 4th quarter is when they all started playing hard. I watched that game and the 1st half was like every other all-star game. No defense and a buncha highlight play dunks.
Great job editing!
Nick you do a great job man. Keep it up bro. Straya!
Appreciate it! Thanks bro
I remember being very upset at Kobe but more upset at Jermaine O'Neal for fouling him😂🤣
Michael jordan: hey Kobe, you should let me go out in style. Kobe: naw mike, you gotta earn that. Michael jordan: when he said that and that's when I took it personally, after I retired. 😂😂😂
Imagine watching a game going in to overtime like this where it's an all star game. The energy and back to back points, intense defense. It really would have been a treat having a ticket there lol.
They played him softly..... KOBE DIDN'T GIVE A FUCK. HE BATTLED JORDAN.
"Jordan stands out because it was his last one, but Mariah Carey stands out too in that dress" FACTS MATRIX!💯
mariah was farrrrrrrrr more memorable. Aint nobody ever wanted to fuck Jordan. Mariah put niggas through puberty that night
@@TheGhostofMrArthurs facts bro! I went thru the rest of middle school having a thing for girls in jersey dresses 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Kobe was a savage! I loved it!
Great video. Got kind of emotional right there.
Vince Carter is full of it. I remember that he made a big deal of not giving his starting position up to Mike. He was even telling the media that he was not giving up his starting position to Jordan because he earned it. He waited until the all star game when they were announcing the starters and decided the last minute to then give Mike the position. So it wasn't a "no brainer" for him
This was the Greatest All-Star game ever....Just about every player scored in that double o.t. game. It was a 🌟 stutted game.
Damn ol Jermaine O’Neal… I remember watching that game cheering for AI because that was my guy. When MJ hit that fader I was happy but Jermaine fouled Kobe smdh I knew it was over
Great video thank you!!!
“ thats alright, I shoot them better when the clock is going down” 🤣🥶
Kobe is the real goat 🐐 most compete player
Stars were deep back then.....
Woah thanks for the new series !
Hope you enjoy!
MJ and Kobe.. by far the two greatest to ever do it!
Greatest shooting guard of all time, and mike is there too.

Reverse that
Smh kids 😁
@@TONEakaSHOW dude i'm 31. "kids" must be relative. mj got to play against the softest perimeter defense of all time. "illegal defense" made doubles a non-factor. Kobe was a better offensive and defensive force.
Kobe paid the greatest respect: Going straight at his throat
One of Jordan's greatest tools was his pumpfake. Not everyone has enormous hands like that, so that's why his pumpfakes are so easy to get fooled by...they're one-handed! Kobe learned that ability about as well as he could with his hand size, but Jordan could literally still play flatfooted with tricks like that.
Great video, well done
I vividly remember this game. I didnt know how to feel because mj and kobe are my favorite players. I wanted kobe to miss but at the same time I wanted him to make em. I guess Im still confused on what I wanted to happen.
It was my favorite all star game those players were favorite along with wade lebron Durant
Remember when Kobe told Lebron to “shoot the f-ing ball” at the end of the all star game one year 😂
This was an awesome video!!!
MJ was my GOAT in the 90s as a kid but Kobe was my GOAT during my teenage years and early adult life. Man I miss watching those two play.
Mamba had that GOAT mentality
The best all star game ever I enjoy watching that game between Michael and korbe. it's been twenty years man time go fast Rnp Kobe.
Great Edits
pierce: "that was a twenty thousand dollar foul right there"
🤣
Vince cap he didn’t want to give up his starter position at 1st…Ai offered his positions 1st and then Vince gave up his position 💯
Love your videos
Thanks!
My 2nd favorite poster on my wall is from this all star game with kobe and mj talking to each other. Top 5 greatest moments.
This is how you do it. Everyone played a special role: guys like Marion and KG that weren’t playing as hard on MJ but were having fun, the hero Vince Carter and the villain, Kobe Bryant ruining the game for MJ but both turning it competitive and making it truly special. People can hate on Kobe but for MJ that had to be one of his most fun games that season & it made people step up to the challenge especially in OT.
Kobe didn’t ruin that. Jermaine O’Neal did
The fact that mba legends was anxious to see MJ come to the court shows you who the true GOAT really is
Ain't this the game Vince made MJ start? 🐐
@@knutt81 that’s correct
It just means they grew up watchin him & got star struck.
Well they grew up watching him play, that’s just common sense. Kobe was their era, Jordan was the era before just like MJ grew up watching the era before him.
@@James_Edward59 that’s facts bro but be for all this CZcams and stuff people actually stop talking about basketball when he retired the first time
Hard to believe that was 20 years ago... I am so lucky I got a chance to see all those guys play throughout most, if not all, their entire careers.
Remember how nice It was to see an NBA All Star Game, when they were actually competitive?! Look at that final score! And it took 2 Overtimes to do it... These days, nobody plays defense and we're flirting with scores that reach 200 points per team.
Great footage and content
Glad you enjoyed it
Kobe didn't ruin it, fouling a 3pt shooter did
KG ruined it. He went off that game
