Tbh, the way I stumbled upon this game is because I was watching a small doc on Chris Farley & this was the last night Chris Farley was alive & he died in Chicago like 3 miles away from the United center. He ended up dying at like 2 in the morning on December 18th. RIP Chris Farley! 🙏🏼🙏🏼
I love that the commercials were included in this video, brings me back to that time as much if not more than the actual game itself. I remember seeing all of this as it was happening. Life was so simple and fun back then even for adults but it was a great time to be a fan of the NBA, it was the golden era for sure. It was never this popular or this great ever again nor will it ever be
They literally were joking back and forth about the fact that it was dead obvious and that everyone knew Kobe was going to be great. You more or less just said "the weather man was RIGHT ON when he predicted the sun would come up tomorrow".
I remember these games ( I was both a Laker & Bulls fan,but rooted for the Bull to win )me and my then wife were both-HUGE-Bulls fan,but,who wasn't back then. LOL. The Bulls were america's team then. Nostalgic ride for me.
@@jasond.gregory9184 Mine too. Me and my ex-wife used to watch every game back then,man,the nba was so much different then. During this time WGN would broadcast all the Bulls games ( I don't remember if it was just home games or not )then of course there was TNT,TBS broadcasting nba games. The good ole days. LOL. And there was no-MAGA-around,thank God. LOL.
There was a reason Kobe came off the bench in his first couple seasons: Eddie Jones. He was that veteran player who at his peak resembled early Kobe years. Plus, Eddie was more established than Kobe playing the same position. But it's not to say Kobe never started a game before Phil Jackson came along. He would when Eddie was on the injured list. And you gotta take into the fact that Kobe was only a 19yr old kid who was blessed to be on a winning team. So there was no incentive to have him be an immediate impact player right off the bat like rookie KG had to in Minnesota, who were mediocre then.
Don't think so, even with MJ. They would have probably won another ring, but not two. And definitely not 3 in a row.. that would have made it 6 rings in a row which just isn't realistic.
What does this even mean? There was no era for these two. There wasn't even a rivalry. Jordan retired at the end of the '98 season and didn't come back for three years.
SPECIAL RIP to Kobe Bryant 🙏 special thanks to Kobe for his maniacal drive & work ETHIC to bring us highlights, excitement, entertainment, excellence and most importantly winning 🙏💍💍💍💍💍
Better than any modern NBA anything. Better presentation, better announcing, better game, better defense, better coaching, better refereeing, better...everything...except the technology. 😂😂😂

They bench Kobe and played Eddie bc Kobe was coming after Mike and showing mike up so after Kobe learnt that be his friend instead of showing mike up and later they traded Eddie to heat gave Kobe the spotlight
LOL that commercial with chris rock voice had so many random things happening. The lady went from getting out her car, to walking, to blowing bubbles. LOL I love the 90s
Kobe plyd in both eras, to all the people saying the players of today's era would ball out in the 90s, Kobe, one of the best ever, didn't average 30-40 points like yal say LeBron, KD, Curry etc. would...why is that?
Lakers were the better team, younger and more athletic. The Bulls had more experience. 1:10:56 The Lakers were the highest scoring team that season, but the Bulls are better at defense.
We see which is the better team... But out of the 2 stars, who is the better team player and who is the better 1on1 player? We know they can both score, but which means more to the team -- the more complete player? 🤔
@@Wis_Dom Yeah but no Shaq in this game. The next matchup Lakers won 112-87 Luc Longley only had 10pts. In the 1st matchup he had 23pts. The Lakers had 4 players with 20 or more.
@@generalkayoss7347 Everyone has a right to their own opinion but I disagree. He was the best to touch a ball in his era. No Shaq in this game The next matchup Lakers won 112-87.
Minus the violent rape he committed where her blood was everywhere and she needed reconstructive anal surgery? And his lawyers leaked her name to the press so she got death and rape threats? Not one of the good guys.
RIP KOBE an icon upmost respect But i want to be real they said kobe gave Jordan a hard time which he did but if he would have faced Jordan from 87-92 Kobe wouldn't have gave Jordan as much of a hard time. That's no knock on kobe imo he's #2 no one is topping Jordan NEVER!!!
A reminder of who is the G.O.A.T and why. Also why the Bulls were feared as the team to beat when Jordan was there. What a terrible, terrible game by the Lakers and an even worse coaching job by Del Harris👎! The worst officiating I've ever seen and I remember back then that the refs for the Bulls were under suspicion for betting on games👎. Still Rooks 👎, Campbell 👎, Jones 👎, Fox, 👎, Horry 👎, Van Exel 👎. The only Lakers that played decently was Kobe Bryant.
Spurs wouldn't get them if they did that man. Pip and Rodman lost a step because of course they did. They didn't have Jordan to push them. They pushed each other. Without the pressure there are no diamonds. So Pip and Rodman let themselves ease up since they didn't have Jordan cracking the whip.

Those were the basketball days.. Basketball sucks today
I haven't got a clue what's happening in the NBA today because I stopped watching years ago lol
THATS just a theory!!!
Back when basketball was worth watching.

You can see the love Jordan already had for Kobe so early on. So happy to bestow wisdom on someone who is so eager to learn.
C'mon don't be so naive. You are being too normative.
Kobe Bryant was a true legend of the game. His legacy will live on forever.
Most impressive stat for M.J. is that he's THE UNDISPUTED G.O.A.T....👑💯💯💯💯💯
Best of all time and greatest of all time.
😂❤🎉@@mikimiyazaki
The predictions on Kobe and lakers in the future was right on point with the announcers
It was destiny you’re never wrong when predicting what’s destined.

Calm down. They said that about a few teams and stars back then (Penny, Grant Hill etc.). That one was just the only one that luckily panned out.
@@MA-vd3ln um.. what?

I’m proud that I’m a 80s baby My generation saw this in real time great Game Jordan R.I.P. Kobe
Nah, he was a rapist.
This really shows what the Bulls were made of. They played without Pippen and had only one big scorer in Jordan and they still won big time.
I remember these games ( I was both a Laker & Bulls fan,but rooted for the Bull to win )me and my then wife were both-HUGE-Bulls fan,but,who wasn't back then. LOL. The Bulls were america's team then. Nostalgic ride for me.

dude luke longley was crucial in the first half .they never talk about that when they talk about this epic match up.
Cant believe Kobe wasnt starting for his team but he was so popular, he started in the All-Star game!

2:05:07 kobe and mj
I forgot how much I enjoyed Hubie Brown’s analysis. Great to see Kobe and Michael in their first meeting.
not first meeting. This was Kobe's second year.
I know, I loved Huber Brown and Dick Stockton and then when Reggie Miller matched up with Dick Stockton, that was gold also.
but didn't Cheryl Miller look like Reggie Miller with a wig?
No one talking about how great Luc Longley was on this game!
When I got to this game in NBA Live 98, I nearly lost the game but Luc Longley saved my bacon!
but didn't Cheryl Miller look like Reggie Miller with a wig?
Kobe playing hard, Michael playing smart.
R.I.P Kobe Bryant 🕊️🙏🏽😭

@@cyclops164we don’t know if he is in heaven or not, but the way he said it yeah I get it
This is the game that convinced me that the Bulls with Scottie Pippen still playing would have beaten the Lakers in 1999, 2000 and 2001
Nope 😭
Don't think so, even with MJ. They would have probably won another ring, but not two. And definitely not 3 in a row.. that would have made it 6 rings in a row which just isn't realistic.
Question: Who would be coaching the Lakers??? Cause it wouldnt be Jackson..
Jordan and Kobe the era.. The Beginning
What does this even mean? There was no era for these two. There wasn't even a rivalry. Jordan retired at the end of the '98 season and didn't come back for three years.
Shannon sharp get over it already LeBron James will never ever become like Sir Jordan. SAY NO MORE

Kobe Bryant is the greatest 6th man in NBA history
Lakers were already #1 offense this season. They didn't need triangle offense.
Great 👍 game awesome. I'm watching it.
Esta super que tengan estos videos todavía y los suban a UA-cam 😊
This my favorite game when kobe 8 got the torch pass to him in the United center fire rip number 8 kobe 5 time NBA champion 🏆 🏆 🏆 🏆 🏆 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥
I get that Kobe was 19, but knowing what we know now he should have played the whole game.
The coach they had was old school and held back rookies
More different compared to now
facts
Stockton and Hubie: narration vintage.
A POWER WINNERS THE TEAM Keep On DOING WHAT YOU DO CHAMP AND KEEP ON HAVING FUN AND A BIG FAN ONE LOVE THE BALTIMORE ORIOLES AND BALTIMORE SANDTOWN ⚾️🇺🇲💪🏿🌍💯🔥👏🏾
Kobe had all the baseline then
😊😢❤🎉
How could i forget Rick fox😢😊
Young and ready Kobe😢🎉❤
but didn't Cheryl Miller look like Reggie Miller with a wig?
Rest In Peace Kobe Bean Bryant
WOW. Never,ever thought we'd be saying this about-KOBE-he died so-YOUNG. RIP-to his daughter also.
the moment black jesus gave the mamba the advice during the game... was like the god gave a spark of his flame to his successor... priceless!!!
i remember that classic penny hardaway commercial
penny was like a God to me back then
every kid wanted those shoes
I loved the low scoring games like 92-90 or 101-96. Scoring and defense.
Bulls on another level playing different game
R.i. P. Mamba 24 💛💜
MJ in the thumbnail looks like jimmy butler😅
One of the most iconic regular season games in the history of the league. Only wish this was the kcal 9 telecast with chick hearn commentating.
They bench Kobe and played Eddie bc Kobe was coming after Mike and showing mike up so after Kobe learnt that be his friend instead of showing mike up and later they traded Eddie to heat gave Kobe the spotlight
Lakers understood this match they played finals but they were too late and Jordan did everything;stealing, scoring, blocking, rebound 🙌
LOL that commercial with chris rock voice had so many random things happening. The lady went from getting out her car, to walking, to blowing bubbles. LOL I love the 90s
People don't realize how Young Kobe was,he was 17 and still getting pimples lol .Kobe is one of the greatest and the youngest to do it
He really was 19 in that game brother
He was 19 years old 3 months and 25 days… idk where you got 17 from
i love MJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJ
MJ THE GOAT
Harris vs Jackson Jordan vs Bryant!!!

Anyone else hoping Longely would've came back in the 4th and gotten one more to beat his career point high?
The Bulls Team was good. MJ was just the best player on a good team.

Todays 2024 NBA has no defense. Scoring 35 points in the 1990's is like scoring 70 today.
