Throwback NBA All-Star Game 1998. East vs West - Full Game Highlights, Kobe vs Jordan Duel HD

Most people would agree with you that Jordan is the greatest, but please stop disrespecting people like Kobe and even LeBron by just saying that they were “very good “. They were much more than very good and were and are considered among the greatest players of all time even if they’re not quite on MJs level.

Man i missed games like this so much, these are the real basketball showtime, clash of the titans. everytime i watched the latest all star game, it was an absolute dissapointment.. nowadays centers are shooting threes and rarely do a post up moves, offensive and defensive play becomes so weak. but because for the love of basketball i still watch it altough not as excited as watching the 90's and 2000s games.
