Who’s here after the worst all star game weekend?
by far worst all-star game in history lol
@@coolnerdsclothing6377oh then just wait for next year's😂
It seems it's getting worse every year. They don't bring their A game because they are already millionaires with a few years contract. Just not fair for those who buy tickets and have subscription. They paid to watch a circus. FIBA and college basketball have more quality than today's NBA.
@@ancientxtitan9313Only way it will change is if the fans boycott the league. But that will never happen.
Me
Im not even 30 seconds in and I got GOOSEBUMPS listening to that intro..man I miss 90's ball
That NBA on NBC intro still hits different. Legendary!
Gives that nostalgic early NBA Live games
The NBA should've never left NBC and stopped using that intro.
NBA on ABC was boring
That NBA on NBC tune hits hard. Love it
@@BattleTruth nba on cbs before this in the 80s was even better
Young fans take note THIS is what a all star supposed to look look. Fun yet competitive, some actually D being played!
there is more defense in this all star game than in regular game in current nba
ive watched nba all my life, im 37 years old and i find this game boring... lack of skills, and a little defense too... and no competition as what you claimed...
@@YanixOpawPalermo lmao, lack of skill and no competition. do you even know who MJ was? you never watch basketball all your life. stop trolling
@@YanixOpawPalermoI’ve been watching nba for half my life,I’m 15 years old,and the older games have way more competitiveness,defense,and offense than the newer games in this era. The all star games now aren’t as good as then,I guess you’re used to seeing a 3-point contest in the middle of a game,just take a look at this years all star game,no defense at all,treating it like it’s just for fun,well yes you should have fun but at least have some competition,it means nothing anymore when they play an all star game. It’s so watered down and shallow
@@elijahdiaz9794 all star games are really boring even in the 80s and today... have you watched the game were isiah thomas is dribble behind the back against magic? looks awkward...
90's basketball is and will forever be the best era of basketball.
The 80's was just as good
Especially the NBA on NBC
I lived the 2000s and I would agree prime players in the 90s were better. shaq didnt win not until 2000, although regarded as the most dominant. I guess the league was still recovering ever since mj retired.
2000s were better
@@acjnse8258 fr
This is AMAZING compared to what just transpired in the 2024 all star game. NOBODY is worried about “getting hurt” they’re just playing basketball the way it should be played with passion and energy and effort
they are playing like ALL STARS on offense & defense! lol
man... watching this is so much fun because there's defense being played so when a player makes an impressive play it's so satisfying unlike today's game like yeah they're more skilled but because there's no defense it's not satisfying at all. it's all for clicks nowadays i guess
They had pride.
It's like a regular season game from the modern NBA and maybe more intense
ironic they play so safe in today's NBA but they get more injuries. Why? because everyone thinks and runs like they are point guards, look at these centers and power forwards.
Kobe and Jordan in his last Bulls season, facing one another: it feels like something out of a videogame.. but it really happened.
Also, bring back the team-jerseys for the All Star game, it looks so iconic.
And it happened again, twice in 2002 and 2003 when MJ was on the Wizards.
You must be young.
@@keen7 Jordan wasn't the same player at that time
Yes my friend! We were living in a video game back then! Now it's pure reality. So that makes us really lucky.
@AETERNVS
There is no Kobe and Jordan.
It's Michael Jordan.
Michael Jordan was far better, greater and superior than the inefficient rabid chucker Kobe Bryant.
Kobe never shot 50% in his career. The following year after Jordan averaged 37 PPG, he averaged 35 PPG at 53.5 FG%. Kobe wasn’t on that level. Jordan averaged 30+ ppg for 7 straight years while 5 of them were above 50%.
In 1985, rookie Michael Jordan averaged:
28.2 PPG
6.5 RPG
5.9 APG
51% FG
Kobe’s MVP season in 2008 averaged:
28.3 PPG
6.3 RPG
5.4 APG
45% FG
Jordan in his rookie year had a better season than Kobe in his MVP season!
They both played 82 games
Michael Jordan, not only won 10x regular season scoring titles, but he also led 10x in playoffs PPG
Kobe has shot 41.5% or less in 5/7 NBA Finals
Seasons shooting 50% or more
Jordan - 6
Kobe - 0
Kobe has the most missed shots in NBA history
1. Kobe Bryant 14,481
Rabid Chucker Extraordinaire
2. John Havlicek 13,417
First you see MJ torturing young Garnett then Shaq shooting fadeawys. This era was crazy.
That Jack Nicholson moment with Kobe PRICELESS!!!!🔥🔥🔥
Entitled
Man we miss this. Need an official classic NBA games channel on RUclips.
I’m in my 40’s so to me the NBA in the 90’s was the golden era. The plethora of legends on the court at one time is incredible.
RIP Kobe Bryant. You are missed.
Na 2000s was the best
Nah, this guy don't no Basketball ☝️
90s and 2000s
Same here
This really was the NBA at the zenith of its popularity.
YEP
@@cc-ec1if Facts don't care about your personal opinion.
you dont hear a lot of "zenith" nowadays.. 😁
Im amazed how straightforward reporters and players are . No passive aggressive nba players like today
Yep. Different level of professionalism back in the day.
Good observation I agree with you 100%!
Yea, back then they weren’t on tv 24/7 doing debate talk and ripping people apart for talking points. So they had more of a reverence for the players. Y’all can’t be this stupid.
@@miltongreene1889 Why do you try to invent answers if you have no idea of what you are talking about? It just happens that there wasn't as much marketing BS and political BS in the league back then. The game was still the priority. And also players were more mature and professional. That's why guys like T.Mac, and coach Monty Williams said that the difference between Jordan and Lebron is that Jordan dominated a league of men, while Lebron has dominated a league of children. That has nothing to do with your theory.
Absolutely. They also dared to ask some tougher question.
I was 17 years old when I watched this live..brings me back to this great 90s basketball era..RIP Kobe
I graduated that yr at 18 and remember it well….Michael was and still is 1 of my greatest heroes..still have pair of black n red patent leathers…infra reds my favorite..
Me too
Wow defense and a real game, these guys were really playing to win not just shoot 3s. Such a better game back then.
It's so refreshing to watch real basketball with real defense and not a 3 point contest
I blame curry 😂
Same
Facts sir
There's a three point line for a reason
🤡
NBA is trash nowadays. You barely touch someone it’s a foul. A center in the NBA isn’t even a center anymore. I mean come on; this is a big man sport. Let them play and be physical a bit.
'98 All-Star Game much better than '24 All-Star Game.
LOooooOOl....Btw you shouldn't even think about it
The first 20 secs of this game is more defense than what's been played in the nba in the past 10 yrs
Defense, offense, competitiveness like it was the playoffs. I miss these days! They didn't score 160 points, yet it was more entertaining.
Nah. They were great but this is boring to watch. The all star game today with steph giannis is much more entertaining to watch.
@@zilverman7820 no defense and COMPETITIVENESS
@@zilverman7820 Get a life kid.
This is nice, but skillset is trash what players can do now
@@tt-ho5zl The skillset is so much better now but the league still doesn’t allow hand checking…
THIS.. is basketball. Not that nonsense we just watched last weekend. The shooting now is amazing but the competitiveness is what’s lacking. Miss these days.
MIchael Jordan's footwork is just exquisite.. just elite best I've ever seen.. GOAT!!
Him & Akeem Olajuwon have the greatest footwork in basketball history.
@@jendayiKaYup. Gotta put Hakeem in that conversation....most skilled big man in NBA history and his footwork was unbelievable. Hakeem and MJ, definitely top 2 in footwork All Time.
17:55 school time
@@jendayiKa at this point I would put Luka in there too
First play of this game he switch pivots before dribble, then carried for 3 steps before putting up a shot. Not his best showing lol
THIS is how an All Star game should be played 💯
Coming back here watching 2024 all-star lame to get back the feeling of what good all-star game should be like
Same 😂
Same
This is the real all star game, so much to watch.
Now the all star is just practice dunk and long range.
Wow!! I can't believe they posted this.... This is my favorite NBA All-Star game of all-time! I recorded this game on VHS and rewatched it sooo many times. It was Kobe's first all-star game and MJ's last as a Chicago Bull. I can recall off the top of my head how he scored nearly every single point this night.
This is when I really, really started to fall in love with the NBA as a 13 year old kid. This game sealed the deal for Kobe to be my favorite player (that is... until an electric, high-flying, half-man, half-amazing player named Vince Carter came to the league the following season).
💯💯💯
Same here. I recorded this on vhs too. Most of these youngins don't know what a VCR is lol.
You were 13 so who is your favorite player now ?
@@stuckinthe90sThegoldenera Lol, those were the days! Btw, your username makes me think you're just as nostalgic as I am, haha
@@edisonsubandi7231 Well, my favorite player of all-time is Vince Carter. But among active players, Steph Curry is one of my all-times favorites, too. If you're looking for a younger player, I really like Donovan Mitchell.
Btw, I edited and uploaded a video titled, "Top 10 Favorite NBA Players". Shows highlight clips of my 10 favorite players of all-time. You should check it out if you're interested! Lemme know what you think if you do and feel free to share some of your favorite players, too
This was Tim Duncan’s rookie season!!
Yes it was. He was already amazing.
Yup!
When him and Manu quit I quit watching, I have no interest in the NBA anymore
@@m42037retired not quit… & you’re not missing anything these days. Refs let players travel, carry, you don’t see physical defense & players missing a bunch of games.
ТМД🇺🇦🤗
Man, it is sad to see how good and athletic Grant Hill was in this game. He was literally the next superstar to take over the league until his ankle injuries derailed his superstar career.
Grant acctually lost his contact lences before the game and wasnt really himself and yet he still was something
@@MikeZ-cz He was a dynamic player. He could do it all sort of like Scottie Pippen but Pip was a better defender and Grant Hill was on offense.
He was amazing but he was not better than Kobe
@@Joseph-lz5erPip had a better 3 pointer than Hill as well
Penny Hardaway also. But neither was taking over because that was Kobe.
This is AMAZING! NBA RUclips... please, please, please upload more old school content. Playoff games, regular season games, all-star content. You will make so much money monetizing old games and old heads like me will love it!
Dude 15 mins in and I legit started crying after KG lobbed that to Kobe for that sweet finish. I grew up wearing all #8 jerseys and to witness him again in his prime is just…unreal. Thank you for posting this. RIP Black Mamba 🐍💜💛
Young Mamba 😭💔
Mamba legacy will be there always
Kobe r**ped a women. Get a new idol
@Corona Hoax Nah you're stupid 🤣
@@CoronaHoax-nd2rr and you need a new past time. Stop speaking on things you have no proof of. Have some respect for the dead.
This actually happened, it feels like something out of a video game.. but it really happened. Kobe and Micheal Jordan playing together. Honestly still crazy to this day.
Crazy you see more defense in a 98 all star game than you do in a 2024 regular season game
FatFaktz
This NBA so much better than today's league. Jordan and Kobe's competitive nature is second to none.
No NBA all star game will be like this time ever again
Nope. This is the game the goat Jordan passed the torch to the 2nd goat Kobe. That won't happen again in our lifetime. We won't see another Jordan or Kobe in our lifetime either.
Had to come wash the stench from recent all star games. These are my heroes. Played with honour and were competitive.
Man i think i shed a tear....I watched this game live on tv. Feels like yesterday.
Bron? Is that u? Must be old!
Back when it felt like a playoff game. The best going all out.
Miss you Kobe 😢
13:46 Announcer: what is that dunk called the helicopter 😢😭
Oh, that is sad to hear.
You miss a man who r**ped women?
Today 4 years without Kobe
Watching this after last night 2023 all star game, gives me pain :(
Ikr, these guy's were insane great, and of course the GOAT.
Man i miss the 90s
More defense in this all star game than in the nba games today
Even more than in the playoffs today
So nice knowing others think the same way!!!
Agreed.
@@edisonsubandi7231 they should be embarrassed for the ASG this season. No competitive spirit whatsoever
@@TheLionaaa not really. Takes a lot less effort if you can sag off from the player that you are guarding and go undr every pick. and dont have to rotate to 3 pt line.
I enjoyed this style of nba!
It is so comforting to watch this, an NBA All-Star game stacked with talent, and the talent is actually competing. This is a breath of fresh air, and I actually have to go backwards and relive it again in order to achieve this. I'm sitting here watching the NBA's elite players of the time (some of ALL time) and I'm hearing catchphrases like "lots of contact,no call on that one"--while watching these guys make legitimate plays in the interest of winning the game, not just looking good.
I'm just here trying to compare this 98 all star game to the 2024 all-star.
literally 0 comparison lol these guys actually wanna win!
There’s a MASSIVE difference between the All Star game now vs this one 98’. It obviously for fun but there’s a good level of competition compared to now!
nah this game isnt "for fun" they both wanna win! the 2024 game is literally for NOTHING!
Look at how much grand respect MJ got. He didn't have to proclaim himself to be the greatest or "goat" the people gave him that title.
It wasn’t media driven, narrative based, it was LEGIT !!
Agreed! Unlike someone else who proclaims himself to be such.
Facts.
Two GOATS together in 1998 NBA ALLSTAR MATCH... 😭
THE GOAT JORDAN
Yup, MJ and Duncan.
the goats TIED are bill russell and wilt chamberlain
@@youtuber3328 The game wasn't as physical back then as it was in the late 80s and 90s get real MJ is the GOAT 99% of the world knows that
Only one 🐐 MJ
So much defense. So much high level talent on the floor not giving up easy baskets.
That why usa scary that time, not only a talents, they have a tough defense
What an insane era.....
The number of defense in this game is probably more than the sum of all defense in the recent 5 all star games😂😂😂
Man this is just a good vibe watching this era of basketball! The way they interview and players talk. Just everything is about the sport none of today's antics.
Fans in 1998: Ooooooh
Fans in 2024: Boooooo
Thanks to the NBA for releasing this 🔥🔥🔥
You never know it's the golden age until you're not in it anymore. =/
Man I never looked at it that way🥲😢
The commentary of Isias Thomas was so insightful!!
I miss those days when the players wore uniforms representative of the teams they played with.
This video is a time capsule: flashes coming from cameras in the crowd, Muhammad Ali sighting, and competitiveness that resembles a real basketball game.
Appreciate this classic all-star NBA YT...Yall should show this on NBA TV channel again
Watching this in 2024 - seen this game LIVE and I’m still oohing and aaaaahing like I’ve never seen it. MAMBA FOREVER 💜💛💜
We need more of these classic all star games with enhanced quality to FHD. Thank you.
Wow this was so good. 90's basketball rocks.
Greatness all over in every aspects LEGENDS 🐐
As a 41 yr old…. This brings back soooo many memories….
Sheesh, this was basketball 🏀…. Sad to say the games lost credibility being that todays players flop as a tactic …
This was grown man ball
RIP NBA …. & RIP KOBE
Yea sir
Grew up in Chicago. I was in the 8th grade and I remember watching it live on television. To relive this moment as a fan has brought me so much joy
Me too
Damn, I thought I was watching a playoffs game. Defense is really felt, shown and delivered. *looks back at the latest All Star Game*
Penny Hardaway is one of my favorite players.
Me as well
Penny was big those early years.
I feel the passion.
90's Basketball was the best.
♥️
32:04
Ahmad: "So the pride factor counts?"
MJ: "Oh yeah IT COUNTS A LOT".
Fast forward to 2023...
We need this Game in HD.
Back when NBA players still respected the game and fans enough to play to the best of their ability.
Hands down One of the best videos on the internet
Man these reporters didn’t shy away from asking players direct questions about how they feel and what they wanted and they likewise gave there honest opinions and answers. Man I miss 90s era ball. Man you just had to f’n be there
I'm 46 and a fan from Abdul Jabbar but the 90's where the most enjoyable times for basket.
Nowadays I don’t watch the NBA I don’t care for it, but seeing this reminds me on how much I used to love the NBA,.
I still can't fathom how young Kobe wasn't starting for the Lakers but was the youngest all star starter in history! Dell Harris messed with Kobe's career averages. But whenever Kobe had the chance to play he lit up and showed why he's the upcoming best player in the world. Miss you Kobe!! 🐍❤️
Kobe r**ed a women
I still have this game tape somewhere. Was my first all star game I ever watched when we immigrated to Canada. That was the golden era. 90s basketball was peak for NBA. Surreal rewatching it again
Not like these guys were playing all out but at least there was some defence and competition. Yesterday’s game was a disgrace😒
MJ made these games worth watchin. he was so competitive
So did Kobe.
The fact that there was more defense and fundamental basketball being played in this AllStar game than this leagues PLAYOFF GAMES should tell you something
This channel knew exactly what they was doing posting this around the same as this years all star game. It’s a hint on how the all star game SHOULD be played
Seeing these guys excited to go against the best of the best it bring chills down my spine. I am glad I was alive to watch this on TV live. I wouldn't trade it for the world.
Flashy plays always look better against some sort of real defense hehe.
Penny and Shaq my boys 💪🏾💯
Same loved watching them
The right way to play Basketball. I also love the players wearing their actual uniforms, not the hideous uniforms players wear now.
This is what a NBA All-star game supposed to look like 🔥💯🔥
Yeah…. Not too much 3
Back when the All Star game was worth watching. I miss Kobe so much 🐍
Ahmad mentioning to MJ being sick, a classic memory of that flu game performance- very special in watching. He was a joy to watch sick or not.
Food poisoning game.
This all star game was more competitive than a current era regular season game. Man the nba really went south after David Stern retired.
It's so weird seeing Kemp and a Cavs uniform and Peyton in a Sonic uniform you would never think you wouldn't see those two apart..time moves on"
Yeah I’m sorry but todays stars don’t compare this era, these guys were joyful and optimistic and believed in playing the game at the highest level no matter the circumstance, truly a lost era
The NBA needs to award the winning conference of the all-star game with home-court advantage in the finals, and the captains of each conference only chooses players from their respective conference, regardless of which team goes to the finals for each conference, make it happen NBA! Restore the glory of the all-star game!
I've been saying this for years I really hope that they listen to people like us who can see the bigger picture
Won’t work only 3 players will get invilved
They already award the team with the better record. So that’s good enough.
nba should just replay this as 2025 nba all star game next year. will get more views
Everyone in their regular team jerseys.. love it.
Better than last weekend
This was a real ALL STAR GAME...GARNETT, G.HILL,MICHAEL,KOBE,shaq
Kobe at 19 was almost Mike level. Unbelievable. Lucky to have watched it live back then.
Mike’s prime was late 80s Kobe couldn’t reach that level
The best era of NBA and when All Star Game was actually a game.
Facts. The 90's era would kill any era. Jordan Pippen Kobe Shaq its over.
This is how an all star game is suppose to be played !!! We wanna see the stars compete !! They just let each other score nowadays in the all star game . I miss these days man ! I remember watching this all star game with my dad when I was little ! We want competition
That theme music never gets old. 🐐
oh my GOD!!!.. they're really playing basketball on All star this era...
Repent don't say God name in vain
Usually all star games start out slow lack a dazy . This is like real game everyone brought A game !! 80-90s was best err-a for basketball 🏀 . Big man was dominates harder game ,better skills and players . I grew up in 90s different grit then nowadays if you were around then , you know how hard it was to compete
I miss this opening music! Aaaaah Good timeeeeeeeeeeeees. Kobe, MJ, Shaq and other legends on the floooor! Lucky to be alive in 98.
