For Kobe Bryant, his first face-off with Michael Jordan was the most important day of his career and life so far. For Michael Jordan, it was Tuesday.
Yes, at that point of his career, Jordan was multiple times champion, MVP, best of the best. Kobe was young gun who strives for respect. Kobe tried to compete, I know that feeling when you're trying to be best against your idol. Now, the All-Star game in Toronto is past, Kobe's done. It's been crazy ride. For me, he's greater than Michael (All my respect for AirJordan) just because he plays in two different eras and he dominated all the time.
+Neal X LOL Nice
The most important day for Kobe was the 2003 allstar game where he choked MJ that game. That in yo face block get the fuck outta here from Kobe to MJ is a moment to remember 😂😂😂
+MrBrenman21 your idol Jordan got cooked by Kobe, deal with it.

I just love how Shaq always got Kobe's back in this game. He wouldn't let his young teammate get embarrased by Jordan. Too bad they need to part ways the way they did.
kzhead.info/sun/ZJl_lbqSj3yOgJ8/bejne.html
Man I'm on a throw back kobe binge after the news, we are all gonna miss him
That move Kobe did at 10:32 was unbelievable he clowned wit that one. He became a legend in his own time. I would've never imagined watching him back then.
Julian💯💯💯🦈
@TIL IS 4 you know YAHAWASHI was a starting point guard for the sandal assassins back in the day don’t you? Averaged a triple double for his career.
When basketball was great; everybody wore their own jerseys. We had Mike, Kobe, Iverson,Hill, Pippen, Kerr, McGrady, Carter, Payton and the list goes on. RIP Kobe 💜💛💜
ashley brick we were spoiled back then with greatness
I miss Allen Iverson man. GOATed
Kerr's name seems out of place haha
scratch Kerr out of the list young boy

One of the best All Star Game rosters ever. MJ, Kobe, Shaq, Payton, Hill, KG, Robinson, and many more! Miss those days.
Mutombo
@@ahmedshaban7455 and Duncan! So many hall of fames. Crazy
Jason Kidd too
kzhead.info/sun/ZJl_lbqSj3yOgJ8/bejne.html
Reggie Miller. HOF & Karl Malone HOF so how many HOFer's in this game & is it the most of any all star game in NBA history?
Now every time I throw something I won’t say “Kobe” but “For Kobe” RIP LEGEND😢
Heart bro.
MJ's old veteran experience and moves vs the wild raw talent of Kobe. really interesting to watch. if you've ever watched Jordan in like his first couple years in the NBA he had a similar playing style in terms of occasionally being a little wild and out of control on offense. then you see jordan at this age and he's so in control at all times. amazing to see them perfect their craft as they progress in their careers. very little wasted movement and always getting the look they want.
“Pain is the litte voice in your head that tries to hold you back because it knows if you continue you will change.” R.I.P. Kobe... :/ He was such a great sportsman and person.
o melhor

Back when basketball was fun to watch.
well thats just not true. The game is much more evolved now, its insane
***** Please the talent was better in the past than it is now.
lovefunkrockmusic lmao kzhead.info/sun/gryiaKugsIRmdYk/bejne.html Lebron would have carved through both these teams.
***** lebron ? LOL pls imgur.com/Jiy5sL4
kudii cc Yes, Lebron would be lol ing at the sad defenses MJ played against in the 90's. Did you watch the link?
He was one of most talented down to earth player and a human being. No politics, no hatred. He inspired many kids to play basketball all around the world. He will be remembered for forever. MAMBA FOREVER ❤️😭😭❤️. RIP KOBE and GIANNA.❤️
Wouldn’t say Down to Earth, Kobe was a killer who thought no one could hold him down or stop him, Mamba Mentality 😤🤷🏿♂️🐍
"No politics" I wonder where that is coming from. Seeing players stand up for what they believe is inspiring. They could stay quiet and enjoy being multi millionaires but instead the risk what they have to make the world a better place for everyone.
No politics? He told Trump off good, and I will forever be grateful.
Its kind of fun to see that Michael seemed annoyed and amazed at the same time that a 19 year old kid was brash enough to come at him that way. Meanwhile, Kobe came to play but he couldnt hide how happy he was. At this very moment he fullfilled the dream every basketball player of our generation had, playing against Michael and earning his respect, i remember it like it was yesterday. Rest in peace Kobe
Thats the problem he didnt play their games, he was a straight dude.
Kobe was warming up at 3am for this game. Jordan was out gambling till 3am for this game.
bullshark lmao but true
Kobe will still shoot 40%
@@greatomeister675 yeah, just a difference in talent an understanding of the game.
Kobe was just having fun . Prime Kobe would own prime Jordan
God himself couldnt own prime Jordan
Who is here after the tragedy? RIP to a legend.
i miss the 90s nba just look at the competitiveness on this all star game now days is just alley oops and dunks in the all stars game
they aren't as competitive because they don't want to injure themselves, all star games don't matter
+PS2Damon who got injured tho in these games the nba players now have less pride these some old school full of pride kind of ballers
klimundas1 nobody got injured because nobody tries, and it works.
PS2Damon I know for a fact I sure as hell would’ve tried. You’re on of the top players in the game going against ONLY the other ballers like you. I’d take the chance to make myself look better than them, even though it’s one game from a specific weekend in the season.
Hahaaha true nowadays
Michael Jordan = *GREATEST BASKETBALL PLAYER OF ALL TIME*
Kobe Bryant Michael Jordan are the two best player in the whole world far better than anybody else who ever touch the ball
Lebron James
Wilt Chamberlain
TV Show Reviews ok?
Wilt Chamberlain.
The collection of talent in this game is unbelievable. RIP mamba.
Kobe modeled so much of his game after MJ. Even when he’s being interviewed he reminds me of Jordan.
You can tell how much Kobe looked up to MJ. Every single move he made reminded me of MJ and he still does it today.
Passing of the Torch :)
Kobe stills Jordan moves tho
R.I.P Kobe
I'm huge Kobe fan and for me he is the second best of all time, but nobody can touch Jordan, not just basketball player , nobody in sports general can touck his airness
***** For me yeah, kobe is the closest thing to Michael.
***** Thank you for you're opinion, it means so much to me :)
Lebron bitch
But its cute that you guys argue over who is the second best players of all time.
***** Lebron ? :D Nice joke.
Damm the competitiveness back than was off the charts!! Watching today's lackluster games makes me appreciate Kobe
I can see the respect between the 2 players Something we don’t see often anymore MJ and Kobe really made the NBA great
Facts and arguably the two best to ever play the game!!
Kobe was so humble back then
P Ik Agreed, then how about Eagle town?
I think sometimes you earn the right to be arrogant to a certain extend....
^ very true
with MJ on court, and 19 yes old, definitely gonna be humble
Heysus Christo couldn't agree with you more! After he got 3 rings thanks to Shaq, he became arrogant, selfish
I just can't get over all these legends in one game… Grant hill, Shawn kemp ,Gary payton, Reggie miller, Karl Malone ,Young Shaq sheesh…Kobe is still a tremendous player but young Kobe was A Beast…Lets face it though you can't MJ, 80% of the shots he throws up goes right in smoothly lol…His Hang time is ridiculous...
love it
Yes all them legends.in today's game 2-3 so called future legends lol.and people still argue this era today is better lol.sad back then every team had some of the best players even the bad teams n not one player but 2 or more on every team.just can't make others realize that no matter how much proff you show them.any so called superstar today n there really isn't many but the few would have half the career they do now if tbey played in this era argue all you want its funny
no213 plus Magic n Larry coaching so crazy man
Who's here after his tragic death rip mamba
Seeing this video kinda makes me cry, because you can see the passion Kobe had. Like passing the torch from one great to another. To have people like Isiah thomas tell you that you have the skills like michael jordan at 19 is amazing. I watched this video with joy at the same time because I hope it inspires other to never let go of their dreams, work hard, and enjoy life. Rest in peace Kobe, Gigi and the others that were killed recently. You will all be missed.
Who else came back because of Kobes last game?
me
+Bobbykazz me! hahaha, just after reading the article on NBA.com about kobe's career
+Bobbykazz Seems like this game was just yesterday. That move on Mutumbo was amazing.
me
Me huashuashua
Jordan looks like he’s not even trying
He had flu. You can see him coughing now and then.
@MANCHESTER UNITED its football fuck tard
MANCHESTER UNITED F.C then go comments on soccer. GTFOH
its an all star game tho..so not much desperation
@MANCHESTER UNITED F.C say that all over again I'm still not gonna watch 22 people running back and forth trying to score on each other then just end up scoreless for the next hour. That sport is extremely overrated and boring.
"I'll see you down the road" If we only new micheal that the road was this short.... Man i am still sad about Kobe....
Rest In Peace,Kobe.
I had this match on VHS back then, watched it over and over. Good old times. Story says that the west coach put Kobe on bench so MJ could get the MVP award, since it was probably his last All-Star Game.
half his highlights were on kobe....
on that note Jordan was even sagging off of him letting him shoot
Jordan was 35 years old here, what an incredible athlete, truly the best ever.
Yeah, but he was still the best player in the league here, and could still do most of the same things. Oldest MVP in the NBA is what 36 or 37 by Karl Malone maybe? He lost a little bit of athleticism, but added some other tools to his game to keep himself the best. Jordan had very few injuries over the years so he was able to maintain most of his skills. The guys who get older and are still the best, or are very close to the top of their game almost always have had hardly any injuries in their career. Jordan like Lebron knew how to adapt to keep his game going strong. Really really amazing player who was ALWAYS working on his game. I remember him just destroying Kobe here. It was so obvious they were playing 1vs1 during this all star game and being competitive with each other.
@@billj4525 kobe thrashed him tf and sat the whole 4th quarter. RIP to the goat
Yea but how many 19 year olds would do what Kobe did in this game ?
@@drewstevens5771 Jordan got the better of him in the game. Did you watch the game? Jordan was the mvp that year, but having said that what Kobe did at 19 was just as amazing as what MJ was doing at 35. RIP Kobe.
@@bobanderson6675 Yeah, like I said to the other guy what Kobe was doing at 19 was just as incredible as what MJ was doing at 35. RIP to Kobe. He was one of my favorite players by the way, but so was MJ.
Man I do miss the 90 NBA , know that was hight level of playing. Kobe played very good game and he learn something new in this game from Mike , was very down to earth , maybe that's why he was so good at playing. I think he learn that Mike other great players , magic , bird , mj.
I was born in 1985 became a Mj fan in 89. Made my first basket in 1990 and i waa addicted ever since. I legit played every day all day of my life. I became very good at the sport. But then i grew up, became a dad and im now 37. Every once in a while i go to the local y and put on a clinic vs anyone who's there. It's the Mj in me. I fell in love with the ball from day 1. Anyway my point is that Kobe had it too. He has the same thing that Mj and I have. We have many many hours of just us and the ball. Thats why we know we're better, it was never "putting in work" it was just us spending time with the one thing we loved, the ball.
Same dude but 1984. MJ and Kobe ❤️
wish i could of went to a michael jordan game...
+beesonit bro it mom's. you correcting ambrose but using back his improper English as well. smh
+Ambrose I did twice once when he was with the Bulls and another time with the Wizards jealous (ha ha ha)? I'm just kidding my friend.
I went to a Michael Jordan game when I was 2
U both dumb
Same I thought I had a chance when he came to Vancouver
Wow.. starting in the NBA all star game at 19 years old should be every basketball player's dream.
winning championships are
John Nguyen u can have 2 dreams
Kobe really held his own against the GOAT. You will be missed!
an aging end of career goat mind you. would be a whole other story vs prime mj 😜
I didn’t see Lebron against Kobe in this game
@@pstuddy Kobe was 19 bro. Cmon now. Goes both ways. Jordan had a huge advantage in this game. Jordan is better, but Kobe didnt even know what he didn't know at this point in time.
@@pstuddy Well Kobe still might have done alright, as it's only one game. Even so, Jordan definitely got the better of him here. Look how many times Kobe got schooled when guarding Jordan. One one one wise Jordan got the better of him by a lot, and he probably would have even more when younger like you said, but Kobe could still have had a good game, just like he did here. Jordan wasn't guarding him in a lot of these plays, other players were. RIP Kobe, one of the GOAT.
@@n_a8917 Yeah, it does go both ways. I would say Jordan definitely got the better of him a lot though in terms of the one on one exchanges. Kobe was having a really hard time stopping MJ from scoring. Kobe played amazing though, and his talent was even more obvious after this game. RIP Kobe.
I had the privilege of growing up a teen watching Kukoc, Longley, Kerr, Rodman, Pippen, and the GOAT himself destroy every team in the league. It was a good time to be a native Chicagoan.
GODD DAYUM this shit is making me feel so dayum old.
Real Shit
This is like listening to the only track Dr Dre and Tupac put together California Love but just in basketball
Christian Tamez hell yeah bro.
That's great!
Well Said
Can't C Me was also produced by Dre.
I remember watching this game. One of the best matchups in NBA history.
When Jordan said “I’ll see you down the road” to Kobe 😭😭😭 now he’s watching over Jordan saying that to him.
"I'll see you down the road". "Cool". That says a whole hell of a lot. There's a lot of significance in that moment. That shit was like special forreal
yupz i agree with you
A "special moment"? .....obviously you have your priorities a little out of whack. They're just 2 guys (pretentious ego-maniacs at that) who bounce a ball and put it through a hoop with a net on it. Nothing special bout that. And to think we pay these people MILLIONS of dollars to do something so fickle. It will all become clear to us all very soon how meaningless it all is. Not sayin this as a non-sports fan. I was fucking nuts about Stockton & Malone...lived and died for them. But reality must set in. These athletes aren't aren't any more special than your average bear. P.S. - yes I was being a dick :P
RASA FRAKER lol I can tell someone got picked last in gym class.
Duncan, Garnet, and Kobe :(. This dudes will be gone 3-5 years from now, and a new generation begins
+Michael L. Kobe's gone after this year...
I know that :( It surprised the living shit out of me. But it's good for lakers, they need to move on.
+Michael L. Don't forget dirk
95: Garnet 96: Kobe 97: Duncan 98: Nowitzki

RIP Kobe, can’t believe he’s gone.
Everyone dies so it’s not hard to believe it
Feels like it just happened yesterday to me. RIP Kobe.
Hold the people you love a little closer tonight. You never know when it's your time. RIP Kobe.
0:35 when MJ starts coughing, Kobe's like gtfo away from me lmaooo
He did the Westbrook face
Jordan had another flu in that game.
😂😂😂😂😂😂saw that
Mj looked strung out after a night of cocaine to the brain, forgot how skinny he is.
I peeped 😂
kobe didn't age I swear.
+James Ram black don't cracj
Did you see that hairline now
+Jorge Koom just what I was thinking
+Jorge Koom nigga he's bald
+ryan Martinez martinez there is a ton that do, trust me
Still trying to avoid Kobe updates. It's hard to deal with his passing. He was L.A.'s Michael Jordan. I couldn't pass up on watching this.
i am forever inspired on how this man was so well spoken everytime it was his turn to speak up during in-game interviews. such great attitude. thanks for everything ,rip legend
Jordan is the GOAT. There is no debate.
13:56 MJ taking free throw with eyes closed 😊
Kobe was such a classy, intelligent guy, even when he was only 19. Listen to this part 11:59
Kobe and his oldest daughter were tragically in the helicopter together.. My heart truly aches. Prayers 🙏 for the family.
Second oldest but sad either way... Prayers as well
Nicole E. French Gianna is second child of Kobe
Kevin garnett and Kobe Bryant "two of the youngest superstars", gonna miss hearing that.
This is great. You can tell, Kobe is the guy relying on his superior athleticsm and dunking ability, while MJ is able to harness his incredible body control and shooting touch from close to mid range. Even with their similarities, you can see subtle differences due to their age and experience.
Kobe and Michael did so much for the NBA. Both are all time greats in the NBA.
A Great Father,A Role model and A Legend RIP Kobe & Gianna Bryant.
The coolest part to me is seeing all the Veterans we have to today, and seeing their young version when they started in this all star game.
I Miss this Kobe. The humble , impartial, influential one. Not the cocky asshole that he's become. Still a great player though. I also love how Michael Jordan can keep his composure regardless of the situation
honestly, Kobe is much more humble now. He's never been politically correct buddy just keeps it real
I hate it when people say Kobe is cocky and then praise Jordan lol Do you have any idea what kind of a player Jordan was? He's still super cocky lol
ballachamp10 Jordan every time he gets interview, "I have to defend myself." Stfu, is that all you can say?
Young Kobe Bryant was very talented (and handsome) :). RIP.
So thats what you want right Amanda?😏🔥
RIP Kobe, this was the beginning of the journey that inspired many generations. Thanks for everything.
9:57 shaq wasn’t boutta let his team mate get cooked like that
Being born in 94', I never got to witness MJ in action, but I'm going to really miss watching Kobe as a young, athletic, scoring force that he was.
Agree born 95 at least we seen jordan at the end of his career and when he retired
Only both of them took this to heart!!! Kobe letting him know "I'm next "!!! Jordan letting him know " I'm the the reason you're next"!!!
I smile everytime i hear Kobe talk. It’s something about him.
He always looks like he's having a good time...😉
I respect both their game, idk how you can hate on one. These guys are legends
Man, this was when I loved basketball and could name every player on the court or bench :-D I wanted to be able to shoot 3s like Glen Rice. Ah, the memories. Thanks.
Who's here 2023 I'm on the verge of rewatching every Kobe Highlight from the time he entered the league till he retired Kobe was my hero....... I'll never stop rewatching Kobe highlights RIP Black Mamba
Legends never die. We won't forget you mamba. 😢🙏
MICHAEL JORDAN DEFINED THIS SPORT MAN. KOBE IS VERY GOOD YES. IM a KOBE FAN. But MJ PAVED THE WAY FOR KOBE.
mj is in a league of his own
look at it though, kobe copied micheal's moves, even the tounge, what a joke. But if you want to copy anyone, copy micheal jordan, hes the king. Not blowing dust on kobe, hes amazing and a great player, just pointing that out though.
Oh if we talking paved the way, we gotta go back in time to the old old skool of Hoop.
DJDeezy ThaTruth everyone sculpted their game after someone. Jordan did his after Thompson and Dr J. So you cant really knock kobe for doing it.
Michael Jordan is the legend.
Thanks because lebron would never be compared to MICHAEL JORDAN(MJ)
MJ never flop
I remember watching this game as a student and I thought this Kobe kid has just a big mouth and only a couple of fancy moves, he was kinda raw and I never thought he would be very special in terms of shooting mid range and footwork. Boy he proved me wrong and gained all of my huge respect!
That was someone's husband, father, son. He wasn't perfect, but it seems he did his best, a lot of people don't. God bless🙏 to all the families.
I remember watching this live as a kid. This was the greatest allstar game I have ever watched.
Had to come here and watch this after hearing Kobe is retiring, even as a LeBron fan I'm going to miss the hell outta him. No doubt top 10 player all-time and the closest to MJ in terms of play-style!
It BOGGLES the mind that I was alive for this, and I watched this, and (while I didn't watch it) the 2023 ASG existed in my lifetime. They don't even remotely care, yet they say Kobe was their guy, their friend, their inspiration, or that Michael meant so much to them. They're not even close.
Thks for the share ❤
2:58 shows how much of a badass Jordan is. Look at the way he walks after owning Kobe. How he brings himself. What a killer lol
0:06 MJ chewing the hell outta that Laffy Taffy!
0:33 then he choked on it! LOL
ampecsu I know ha ha
ampecsu Kobe said "cough that way!" 💀😂
ampecsu chill he was sick in this game😂😂
CANDY GIIIIIRRRRRRLLLLL!!!!!!
10:30 Commentator so stunned by Kobes moves he thinks he Traveled lmao, absolute GOAT even at 19 he was just too smart and had so much knowledge of the game. RIP My Favorite player, the reason I got my franchise Tatted in 2009....We're gonna miss you Kobe and your daughter.
“Little Laker Boy” 🥺😢😭
Now that Kobe is older people forget how GOOD he really was!!!! He was just as good as Michael maybe not as resilient but just as talented.
jordan was much better you fuckin idiot. go watch jordan again when he was young. its not even close.
Paul Michael so hostile lol you are very right though jordan came in the league a boss kobe had to work hard to become a boss lol both are great
jordan still better that kobe..remember those buzzer beater for the win...how many of those jordan did..and how many of kobe?..Air Walker Michael Jordan is still number 1 and always will be..
Paul Michael Don't be so angry and juvenile by calling names. I am not an idiot. I have a different opinion. If you have a different opinion and you like Jordan that's okay. This is MY opinion and it is different than yours and that is okay too. Let's be grown up not children.
your opinion is wrong. jordan was better in every aspect of the game. search their stats, MJ is better in regular season, playoff and finals. MJ has more MVP awards and he played in a more difficult era. He has more rings too and he was always the MVP, not shaq! if this is not enough for you, go back and watch MJ play. Kobe is great, he copied a lot of MJ moves, he has a great talent, but he is not close to MJ.
Kobe might be more unpredictable on the ground but Jordan was more unpredictable in the air
youngrizzle2003 that's why kobe was the black mamba and jordan the god
Eric Perez you mean like the black mamba on bed?
I agree 1000%
😬
thx...got those days..miss 90's nba...
I sit back in awe as I watch these 2 Legends goin' at it. It's amazing seeing Jordan's experience and tricks up his sleeve go up against Kobe's youthful and talented energy. Ip Man vs. Bruce Lee.
Gone too soon Kobe! God bless your soul, thanks for all the exciting entertainment!
Love this two kings MJ and KOBE 23 24 👑👑RIP 🐐
KOBE REST IN PEACE Basketball lost one of the all time greatest may your spirt and soul continental to love on thru moments captured like this..I can only image how u felt being able to play against your idol..I'm happy for you so much that you got the blessing and gift of basketball and had so many people whom loved you and GIGI..you deserved every single second of your short life REST IN PEACE👑🐐 u came into basketball in the greatest era of time in my opinion, and you took that torch and really made it shine bright
Rest in Peace Kobe
The Way Kobe Study Mike From The Walk,Mannerisms,& Gameplay was genius 😩😔🐐🐐
I agree, and that's what made Kobe so good. Both MJ and Kobe worked harder on the game then anyone. They studied the game and studied other players. If you want to be the best at something and play at the highest level you have to put a ton of time into it anyway, but Kobe and Mike took it to a whole another level. Even during some practices with their teams there were examples of both Kobe and MJ still in the gym practicing alone the next day. They were shooting around all night and working on their games by themselves and were still there when the team showed up for the next practice. Kobe has talked about doing this several times. MJ is known to have done this many times as well, and his teammates always talk about how often Mike plays and continues to work on his game. Some called it excessive, but he had to be excessive to be at that level.
Michael Jordan the best ever....
That times when the all star was a real competitive game...
Soooo good to see this again.
Rip Kobe so unreal.. I remember watching this On NBC in 98
The Nba should scrap the special uniforms and go back to players wearing their team jersey
It's to confusing.
+Slender_ Robot Not really. The East put on their home jersey(White) and West put on their away jersey (Dark)
I prefer the current way.
+Penske Material the jerseys look repetitive every year tho they need to make them different like the Christmas jerseys
Barrack Ocommas maybe that, being original each year, but still having the special uniforms is great, a lot pf the people who watch those All-star games aren't regular fans, it helps them low the tone of the confusion they already must have lol
Rest Well My dearest Idol Kobe Bryant 😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏😭😭😭 Gone too soon 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Jeez I love MJ’s interviews. Kobe is so respectful. We’re 7 days after Kobe’s passing. And it’s clips like these that we will have the privilege of watching for the rest of our lives so that we never forget why Kobe and MJ were all about
It's absolutely crazy to realize that everyone KNOWS the true show is Kobe vs Mike but Kobe is coming into this game as a bench player on his own team. It's easy to spot a matchup between guys at the same position when both are the stars of their team. It's absolutely SPECIAL to be able to look at a reserve and say "Yeah that's the guy."
Everyone knew Kobe had the talent by now, and especially after seeing this game. He had tons of skills already, and his athleticism was off the charts here. I remember being a little kid watching this, and them talking about this all star game being Michael vs Kobe.
