@@robbereal1982 unclety's is right. Wizards won the first meeting. the next year MJ didn't even play at the home game or left early I believe. In the last one Kobe dropped 55 mostly on Stack, not MJ, they hardly guarded each other that game. CONTEXT MY GUY. But in one-on-one matchups between Mj and Kobe, MJ got that. He won all the Bulls 1on1, All-star game, the first meeting with the Wizards. In this game seen here they hardly did anything. Kobe got the jumper at the end Mj was playing the drive and let him shoot it. Now I will say this. Kobe torched Bron in almost every matchup. Definitely better than him.
