This is bittersweet seeing MJ & Kobe still playing, Ali watching the golden age of sports . Sad time passed by but it was a great time
so amazing time
Amen brother, the 90's produced some of the most iconic and simply, best games, music and trends.
I agree, but there's been an 'Evil' that has been allowed to infiltrate our sports, movies, music, and politics. Our country is no longer ours, and until we wake up, realize, recognize, and call out who they are, and to the extent of what that is, and 'speak up & speak out' about it, we're more 'Doomed' than we could ever imagine. The 'Doom' is so evident now more than ever.
Yeah
FACTS!
I could watch this all day. I miss this style of basketball.
The style: being the greatest athletes of all time.
Me tooo!!!!
Same, so much attacking in the paint. Not so many deep 3s every possession.
Hell yeah thats when bball was at its finest then Ai after this!!! Was truly the best years. Now everybody friends and everything a foul... garbage
You mean when they didn't cry like bitches and travel every time they touched the ball>?
I miss this era of basketball 🏀. I could watch this all day.
Stolen comment
we all miss this era of basketball @@CometRoblox
Be thankful that you were able to witness it.
And let’s be great full we as 70 80 90 generation is able to watch them again on RUclips. We gen x have other ten years before RUclips ease these memories for good
@@jingongwang8877 yeah, ik but he stole this comment
I grew up in the 90s and this brought back lots of good memories . I miss this style of basketball . They were actually playing defense in the all star game . Wow
Yep I wish I can relieve those times again. That's when NBA was more exciting to watch unlike now
Yeah I grew up in the 90s and 2000s as well definitely miss this style of ball
Jordan passing skills is so underrated.
he also matched magic's assist average during their finals game
🐐 no debate
what passing skills, average at best
@@jareou11+ Assists in the finals against 1991 Lakers. The real showtime
@@jareou🤡
They played harder defense in this all star game then they do in a modern regular season game nowadays
sad but true
seriously...some of em are getting paid 1mil per game and cant even play 110% for a game that most ppl would pay to play...if they dont start playing some d the game is gonna be too easy...also they gotta let em play d w/o calling fouls...i kinda like watching kaitlyn clark more than the men now
I thought the same thing not too long into this video
True Dat !
That's because today's world is full of beta ass males. All types of dudes that act like women. I'm sayin', let's bring back OG shit startin' with Trumpdog 2024. FACTS.
Michael Jordan, pay attention to his demeanor, the way he talks, not counting winning his two three-peats, people have to be reminded that he took control of that helm at will, he's simply not just a Legend but a true Masterclass.
EXTRAORDINARY and accurate comment!
MJ is the real man - unapologetic savage full of himself. Today he is special. In cave men times he would be just one of many similar men.
Where was that the other 9 years he played or vs bird
He didn't have to leave to get a ring@@crazynweird3547
@@crazynweird3547 Did you not read where he said “not counting his two 3peats” ? I swear y’all comment just to be negative on here
Pure NBA gold. So glad I grew up able to witness this era.
I grew up in Chicago. Obviously Jordan was like a god to us. Then Kobe came in the league. And I always hated on Kobe because people argued he was the GOAT over Jordan. It wasn't until Kobe's last game and was finally retiring when I came to my senses and was like, this dude is hands down one of the greatest players of all time. He was an assassin like Jordan. He had the mentality and work ethic like Jordan. I just wish I realized this while I was watching him dominate the league live in person for all those years. RIP Kobe. 💕
Nah Lebron the NBA God and GOAT
@@___Anakin.Skywalker damn, I even left him out of this conversation...yet here we go. Just a quick question, did you watch the 2013 NBA Finals live on TV? Game 6 specifically?
@@___Anakin.Skywalker JJ Barea would want to slap you
@@kt420ish 2016 NBA finals
down 3-1 vs the GOAT team 73-9
Lebron G.O.A.T ♥️
Jordog wasnt not ever challenged
@___Anakin.Skywalker you know what I work and don't have time to hear your nonsense. I'm just going to school you real quick. Lebron came into the NBA in 2003 and was one of the most explosive players in the league. He played for Cleveland for 7 years, FAILING to win a championship. That made him uneasy so he took the easy route and joined up with Dwayne Wayde and Chris Bosh to form the Big 3 in Miami in 2010. They won the championship in 2012 (which was deserved). 2013...Heat DOWN 3 games to 2 in NBA finals to the Spurs. Heat down 3 pts with less than 10 seconds remaining. Lebron air balls his 3 pt attempt....the game tying attempt...Chris Bosh saves him with an incredible rebound and somehow finds Ray Allen on the corner behind the 3 pt line. Ray Allen hits the game tying 3 pointer in game 6 of the NBA Finals (where Heat are
DOWN 3 games to 2). Heat end up winning that game in overtime and they end up winning game 7 and win that finals. This did not exist in Jordan's career. (Not sure about Kobes because I was a bulls fan). Jordan hit game winners in game 6 of NBA finals. Either that or he assisted the game winner. Jordan never got bailed out in the final seconds of an NBA finals. Jordan also is 6-0 in NBA finals. That, I would consider, is more "GOD" like than Lebron James who is 4-6. Do I need to say more?
Man I miss this era of the NBA. This is way way better. No Vegas refs, chucking 3 point shots, flopping here and there, no load management, and a lot more. Classic NBA at its finest!
Really the refs got in trouble for betting on game in the 90s ever hear of Tim Dougherty go watch his 3 docs on the nba commissioner calling him at half time saying we don't call fouls on mj
@@crazynweird3547 Refs where really bad in the early 2000s
@matthewwarbington4125 yea but taking phone calls at halftime from the commissioner talking bout we don't call fouls that really bad
I'm such a girlie girl, I don't watch any sports, but I accidentally clicked on this and it was so good I couldn't stop watching, made it to the end. reminded me of my childhood.

@@girlwithathought2940 nice! hope it triggered good memories 🙂
Nothing about this made sense.
Micheal was so well spoken. He’s a true champ, legend, hero, idol, icon, sportsman, professional
Such a true champ he n fellow chumps couldnt make it to a ceremony ring of honor trash mj is suppose to be a leader he is an ungrateful overhyped shoesalesman…i wouldn’t b surprised if mj doesn’t talk to Barkley anymore for speaking on it…if he doesn’t it’s bcuz he knows Barkley won’t dgaf bout what mj thinks. Mj don’t like it when u talk n bring bad media on him so we shall see what transpires.
Happy birthday 🎂
Piece out
Well said!😎😁✌️💥🔥
saying a black man is well spoken is just racism, isn't it? I've never heard anyone say that about a white guy...ever...
Back when an All-Star game was worth watching!
Today players in NFL and NBL are full of clowns showboating after they do a lil something. In these days they did their thing and got back to work without all that celebrating looking like clowns.
right! these were the best times! look at all those SUPERSTARS on 1 court at the same time! todays era of sports sucks. I feel bad for kids in this era lol they get the worst of everything. worst movies, worst tv shows, worst music, worst sports lol all they got is their phone
Yea but u gotta admit this game was wack because of the blowout.
before WOKEISM and BLM nonsense
Couldn't agree more, and it's probably only going to get worse for kids... You have fools that wil be watching this clip and STILL arguing with you that todays NBA All-Star game is better, Lord have mercy!!! @@tyreesneed
MJ first bucket in the video was pure poetry !!
The thing I remember about Kobe is how much he pestered MJ about how he could improve his game. Kobe wanted to be like Mike, and he was serious about that by developing the same work ethic. Both players are absolute legends of their own merit.
The respect they have for each other was awesome. Like you can see how they were trying to play it off to the reporters but in their actions they both were like “I’m the best” 😂❤
Look at the lineup and even the bench lineup just incredible group of players
This era was the last where the All Star game was competitive and not some lazy no defense just for show game like today.
@@Julius_Paulhe wasnt talking about the current bro
Yeah. I'd guess that the players started to be more show boatish and buddy buddy around 2005-2006.
this is that 90s glazing you just hear about day after day. Bro... the 90s was filled w/ bums because of the expansion era. Literally the ONLY era where muggsy bogues could've gotten drafted. Even the 60s wouldn't have let his sorry ass play.
@@dagameplayeri wonder why
led by lebum james
I can’t help but think that Jordan knew he was retiring and that’s why he was so helpful to Kobe. Here’s a 19 year old kid playing in the NBA. He must have known how special he was and that’s why he didn’t end his career like he did others. Jordan hated sharing the spotlight but he was cool sharing it with Kobe. Like a passing of the torch.
Facts my boi
He came back
he had all of Jordan's moves (not that uncommon but he was better than all the imitators, but most importantly, he had Jordan's fire and work ethic. Jordan recognized and respected that
i don't think so
Because Kobe was as cocky as Jordan was
Firstly, I'm a Detroit Piston Fan. But, "Mike" was the Man. Was watching the video with My six month old Grandson, and he would stop whatever he was doing to watch Both of the Michael Jordan sideline interviews. LOL... Love the Video!!!
Legends all over the place. Wow!
Shaq, jordan, kobe, malone, reggie Miller, david robinson, garnett, duncan, grant hill. This is the NBA at its peak and the reason we all think modern NBA is trash when this is what we all grew up with
I started watching in the 80s, and I still think “Showtime” was the most fun style of basketball to watch. It was pretty much the exact opposite of how the current generation plays.
@dr.christopherdiaz4473 yeah I was born in 85 so obviously didn't watch showtime but I know for sure the current NBA sucks lol
I dont even watch this circus BS today😂, it aint worth watching, i never thought in a million years the NBA would come to this.
@youngblood5863 yeh it's just boring. I tried a game yesterday and lasted about 3 min lol
Olajuwon, Ewing, Barkley, Stockton…the list goes on.
I smiled the whole time watching this. It felt so good, the good old days
the best!
Same!
YES SIR, I would give anything to have the NBA still be like this. The superstars in this video is never ending and the style of play is poetic.
Thank you the many gentlemen of basketball for providing so much entertainment over the years. Rest in peace KB.
Happy birthday 🎂
So many legends on the court at one time, Kobe, MJ , penny , the glove , Grady hill , KG
This is Gold!!! I remember watching this live on TV back in the day... RIP Kobe we miss you!
Me too
No you dont
God punished the rapist😠
These were the days when NBA All Star games were really fun to watch
absolutely brilliant performance and what a fantastic welcome to the nba moment from the goat to arguably the one who resembled him the most and was as driven as him
Jordan was and is the greatest of all time. Not a Bull fan, but I had the pleasure of watching him many times.
There was so much promise on the floor in this game. I really wish we'd seen an injury free career out of Grant Hill and Penny at the same time as Kobe.
Love Penny, he might be my favorite player of all time.
That's different from thinking he the GOAT.
Message.
Hill maybe on the wrong team, but seeing penny alone without shaq really kills me :(
Grant coulda been a beast
Penny all day
That early 90s gen in the nba was demolished. Shaq was the only survivor to bridge the Jordan era to the Kobe era.
2023 ALL STAR GAME IS WASTED BECAME CIRCUS.....90's ALL STAR GAME WAS AMAZING GREAT TALENT...I WATCHED THIS WHEN I WAS IN COLLEGE... LOVE FROM PHILIPPINES....I.MISS WATCHING THIS GAME DURING THIS ERA❤
In the 80's ASG was awesome too. The 1988 ASG had it all: showtime both in the offensive and the defensive end. Great fight, great sportsmanship. You should watch it if you haven't already.
@@mariuspopescu6089 1988, for sure. I'll never forget Larry Bird draining 3's in the All Star 3-point competition like a boss.
@@TieNylon I was surprised to see the perfect chemistry between Isiah and MJ who were supposed to hate each other. MJ was a beast. And, of course, Larry showed his class as he always did.
soooo much great talent and the love and competiveness for ball gives us real gym basketball and its raw and real and we've been playing like that since we were kids
Looking at this brings back good memories from the mid and late 90s. My high school yrs what a time it was to be a teenager watching all the guys in there prime. R.I.P Kobe
MJ and Kobe is the best era of NBA Basketball, nothing compares them until this very day.
I remember watching this game live. Still got it on VHS. Still remember every second of awe and excitement it gave me. Sg i don't get from the league today.
Facts. I struggle getting into the game when I’m watching them
I wonder how much THAT VHS tape recording is worth?
@@Imnotbatmandamnit It's most likely not worth a penny, but for me it's a treasure :)

Reliving basketball greatness with this video! 🏀🔥 The day Michael Jordan faced off against Kobe Bryant is an iconic moment in sports history.
I remember this game! Him and Kobe went back and forth like crazy. They made this game 1 of the most tuned into games in history.
0:09 I clearly remember this day sitting in front of my grandparents tv in the living room watching this nearly at arm length looking at every move these two legends made , sports will never ever be the same . Till this day Kobe’s death still hurts Rest easy Kobe
Tbh, Jordan and Kobe are the greatest in their own rights, it was great that both were given time to shine alone. RIP
They are a legend in basket ball history they added a great value to the NBA.
no one is better in the world but we are different.
Long life to Jordan...
RIP KOBE
they were playing defence!!!amazing,i love it!! 98points west 5.05 before the end!!
This was an awesome Highlight reel. Thanks 👌🏾👌🏾
In this game Jordan knew this 19 year old “kid” was cut from the same cloth. Kobe showed a lot of respect for MJ, but never backed off. He recognised MJs greatness and stood tall against it. He knew he needed to learn from the best and this was his opportunity.
This the same KID who shot 3 air balls against the Jazz in the playoffs ???? LOL. Then decades later gets a rape trial too. Oh,how the mighty had fallen. What a dummy.
As a Pistons fan, MJ was the best. No question.
This were the days gives me goosebumps
Thank u for the upload from Germany
Wow. Watching this brought back so many memories. Almost shed a tear remembering the profound impact this era had on my life.
During this time, Penny Hardaway was my favorite player but loved Jordan and Kobe as well mad many others featured in this game. Nostalgia. #RIPKobe😢🙏🏽
i've watched highlights of this game a bunch of times but never through the angles this clip shows; well done
Michael Jordan shot that last free throw with his eyes 👀 closed.
yea and MISSED
He lokey wanted to finish at 23 points
Not sure that the title fits... Kobe looked really good too. They both played great. Fun to watch that talent out there. Wow. What a sweet spot collection of eras. Thanks for posting.
When the NBA All-Star was still great to watch 👍👍👍
one of the best all star game. displays pure talents of players around the league, never gets old. love that j13 though
A young Kobe is incredible. A young Jordan is athletically crazy with energy that is not matched and competitiveness that won't let you beat him.
Made me go back and play NBA JAMS again...so many HOFs on 1 court!
Jordan, Kobe and Miller on the Cort… and Ali and Magic watchin it … dayum i Miss the 90ies man … such an iconic Time
Sooo much talent on the floor. Miss those days
And people say todays game has better players they are clueless to what we watched at that time
Kobe was like 19, which is an accomplishment in itself
Jordan ,Pippen ,Rodman and Kobe always in my Heart...❤❤❤❤ I'm coming from Poland, but I grew up on Chicago Bulls Basketball
I want to ask the youth "when you watch this, can you feel something different than how it feels today?" This is the time I grew up, and it reminds me when the world felt smaller, and more adventurous, like anything could be out there that is undiscovered. Getting to see something like this wasn't available at all times, you had to be there when it was happening, so it felt special to see. I'm not trying to make today's world feel bad, but I can't tell if I was just young and that's why it felt that way. I was a huge basketball fan and Kobe Bryant fan.
They have no clue, all they know is AAU chuck the ball and play zero D. That's the NBA today. NO SKILL! NO GRIT, NO TOUGHNESS AND FULL OF ENTITLEMENT.
its the slower lower fps olden time broadcasting that you feel, and kobe got blown up to pieces, lost his arm with tattoos and his daughter. your a fan of a bum, EVISCERATED. modern nba is evolved dont talk anymore please! people in this allstar game couldnt even score trash!!
Bro the old heads would get hammered. LeBron is 260 effing pounds. Everyone can SHOOT now! 3 points worth more than 2! Nobody shot like that then because no one was efficient enough to make it work!
@@mbr05c You don't know basketball, you never played elite or professional. Otherwise, you would know. I played back then professionally. Guys like you who play AAU hoop get run out of the gym literally.
The reason why you shoot now is because the NBA wanted to increase scoring by design. They didn't want a defensive league anymore. All you have to do is look at PF and PA from 2004 onward. You will see it clear as day the upward trajectory if you wanna see it. That means everyone benefited from a wide-open lane.
The NBA is not tougher or more skilled now.
Shooting threes and travelling and flopping all over the place is not a skill. Real skill goes both ways! O and D.
Can you handle the rock without carrying the ball and turning it over play at a high HOF level. Bron can't do that, he leads all-time turnovers and missed shots!
What happens when the defensive 3 sec in the lane is removed? This means big real centers who shot block camp out, multiple of them. you get by your guy, there are 2-4 other guys waiting.
What happens when forearms and handcecks are allowed? This means they can control your movement with one hand on your hip, refs can't see that most of the time. Okay, you wanna shoot threes? you wanna spread the floor? Okay, we can counter that. all they gonna do is lay hands on you without fouling. This creates fatigue and missed shots. wear and tear.
What happens when there is tight space?
This means you have to have a serious skill bag to manoeuvre within that small space. Because you have far more people in your way to attack you and make you uncomfortable. All that fancy dribbling will not work once they bump you. you will lose control.
None of that exists now. you can blow by one guy and that's it. Most of the time. every blue moon you get someone who really blocks it.
NBA is trash today, with ratings flopping for the past 30 years! NOBODY IS WATCHING!
Christmas is down 73%. bro -73%!?? In my business, you get fired for that!
@andrew - a good experiement would be to showcase late 80s-90s - early 2000s rules vs today. organise it and show them, they will see how hard it is. Bron would get knocked on his ass. These are guys who didn't care about suspensions. No fake Draymonds. I'm talking about Maurice Lucas, Kermit Washington, Charles Oakley, Xavier McDaniel, Sir Charles, Michale Cage, Karl Malone, Bad Boys and many more. Guys were fit and strong and they had grit and effort. They will literally fight you on the spot. Rodman was so strong, he was the same height as Bron, and lighter, but his low base kept SHAQ out of the lane. Shaq weighed 301 lbs!!!
Today players don't have that. They are most entitled. Load managing BS. They love the fame, not the game like we did.
These delusional jitterbugs have no clue about getting hit in that lane and the cheap shots. they have no clue. no repercussions.
Did you see Michael in 2nd half??
He would've been the best PG ever
Had he played that position for all his career.
That stretch of games in 1989 confirms that
(He played PG for kind of 13 games, with 12 triple double, and triple double average, with 35 ppg)
Yeah. just look at how dedicated Michael was to his midrange game. As a point guard he would have been just as determined to get those assist. Would have been making sure his teammates knock down those jumpers he throws to them.
MJ could dominate any positions from 1-3, where ever they played him he dominated and it wasn't close.
Exactly. No question. Look at that pass to Reggie.
This makes me warm to watch.. there was something about 90s basketball 🏀
I rmember watching this game live on tv. the 90s were great time for basketball!!
Wow, Wish I could watch these guys in they prime again! RIP KOBE! 😞
Their.
same. :(( rip kb
yeah .. we had a little b&w box and there was Bob Pettit of the St Louis Hawks, the incredible Jerry West and prob several others you never heard of too ... i was such a kid i actually thought that the Cincinnati Royals were named AFTER Oscar Robertson.. You can't imagine most NBA players you imagine, without the Big O and/or Jerry West.
Watching this made me love basketball all over again
There is no deny that this game brings back so much memories, all great basketball players in 1 game.
This is a fantastic game with all the legendary NBA players, everyone has unique experience playing on the basketball courts by using their own real hands & feet prints! You can clearly see the game is not only just a game, all the best players from NBA teams representing East Coast vs West coast. This was for Biggie & 2pac wish forever came true after they passed away, and they adore basketball!
This makes me miss basketball so much. These were the best years of game. I'd like to think that's just nostalgia but we all know that's not true.
Hello. It was great!
good luck my friend.
Keep working. You will succeed.❤❤❤
Just rewatching this game is crazy. They tried double teaming Mike and the players he passed the ball to even scored. He really be giving any player on his team ultra instinct 😂
It should be mandatory to show this video to every NBA PLAYER who makes the All-Star game….. this was purity
thank you for making this -

Crazy how Kobe assisted himself at 9:20
I remember that game, I was pretty young but it was the best I've ever watched. And think about all of the greatness that was on that court, and in the stadium. Kobe is my favorite of all time.
God this brings back so many memories.
MJ was in 2nd-3rd Gear…chillin. Kobe was in 4th Gear.
Mj is awesome, but count the steps on that first shot he took.
@@kanajingly8957it was an all star game. Chill 🤣
Just search on RUclips, they called steps many times on Jordan in regular games
Kobe was in first gear guaranteed, he was trying to outplay and impress his mentor .
Actually Kobe was in overdrive
You can still see tho that MJ's first step was crazy explosive, he relied heavily on that to create advantage for all of his shots. Then there was his leaping ability (on display here as well, Garnett couldn't even sniff his shot for example), to create even more space, and if all of that failed, he'd fake you out and step into layup range, like he did it with Kobe. Most foundamentally sound player i've ever seen on a basketball court, he had the full package in his prime.
I like the way Kobe learned from MJ, and applied the lessons on the spot in that game
"I'm just having fun, what's a better way to learn the game than to go at him?" -Kobe Bryant
Well done. RIP Mr. Weathers.

I haven't watched the NBA in years and don't miss it at all...The M.J era had me staying up on a work night watching bulls games on wgn
I came here to see Kobe and Jordan going at it (and they delivered), but as a Pacers fan I got overly excited when I saw Reggie Miller and Rik Smits running around out there. Check out this pass by the big man Rik at 12:18
We had some good teams. Those Bulls and Knicks playoff match ups were always tense. A couple shots a game here or there and we'd pull over the line, but never did. That year they got to the finals, we didn't have a chance against the Lakers and that ended the era. I was a basketball fiend as a 90s child in Indiana, but after the finals, I put it away. It's amazing how much the nba has degraded, just like the larger culture. As goes the way of civilizations throughout time.
Jordan is the greatest for this reason alone: He led the league in scoring 10 times, and he was voted by his peers to be on the 1st Team Defense 9 times. Nobody has come close to those stats....ever.
In a weak era. No one doubts Jordan, but know why those things were the way they were. Jordan was great in an era of few and aging stars with more teams than there had ever been. Of course, any of the greats would have had those types of performances. Jordan even said it himself, he wished he could have played in an era with more competition like Kobe’s era.
@@wordragon...You call the 90s a weak era?? Are you kidding me? Who are these 'few and aging stars' you allude to? From 1989 until 1999, some of the greatest stars played the game....THE ERA OF THE ORIGINAL DREAM TEAM??...you seem to forget??...A time when stars played offense and defense....And who were the champions during that era: Pistons (2), Bulls (6), Rockets (2) and Spurs (1)...four of the greatest teams that played in the NBA...Before the era of superstars looking for to play with other superstars....LeBron??. If you call the 2000-2010 era great, well guess what? Lakers (5), Pistons (1), Spurs (3), Heat (1) and Boston (1) were the only champions....It seemed that Kobe's era had the weaker competition.....After 2010, I don't even consider those teams as great as the ones in the 80s, 90s and early 2000s....No defensive playing showboaters who often hurt themselves who rarely played a full season......
This was the best Era in the NBA. All the biggest stars ever... playing in this game ... together. Legendary.
This is watchable as some defense is being played and it resembles a competitive game.
Jordan really sounds like he loves matching up with Kobe in the interview- just sounding thrilled, as if finally he found someone with the same mindset. Bro, I'm the biggest Jordan fan ever, but these Kobe dunks are ICONIC!! Gotta love Kobe too, man. Just not LeBrick XD Damn, Jordan was so masterful, amazing.
1,000 %
Not a Jordan fan at all but as the game has evolved, damn I respect his game more than ever now and by extension, Kobe’s too.
A Ridiculous skill set, between those two players
and he knew how to travel
Come to think about it, Penny and Hill with MJ is simply insane line up... wish both Penny and Hill never got injured...
Wish Shawn Kemp had stayed with Seattle and stayed in shape. He and GP could have won 2-3 titles. That window was open.
I miss all these players. The 90s was a great decade for the NBA. From NYC. Jordan was our nemesis and an assassin when Chicago and New York went to war. Jordan is the GOAT and Kobe was the sequel. May he and his precious daughter rest in peace. 🙏🏼
That was dope!
