1998 NBA All-Star Game | NBA Classic Game 

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

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

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...

Yep. Different level of professionalism back in the day.

Good observation I agree with you 100%!

@@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.

That NBA on NBC intro still hits different. Legendary!

Gives that nostalgic early NBA Live games

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.

Entitled

Na 2000s was the best

Nah, this guy don't no Basketball ☝️

90s and 2000s

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

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…

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

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..

💯💯💯

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 ?

@@stuckinthe90s95 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

Young Mamba 😭💔

Mamba legacy will be there always

@@CoronaHoax-nd2rr and you need a new past time. Stop speaking on things you have no proof of. Have some respect for the dead.

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.

YEP

@@cc-ec1if Facts don't care about your personal opinion.

you dont hear a lot of "zenith" nowadays.. 😁

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.

Are you a kid? Of course, they did play together. It's a pretty well-known fact.

THE GOAT JORDAN

Do you know what GOAT means? It means greatest of all time. There can only be one GOAT.

mj and duncan

Yup, MJ and Duncan.

the goats TIED are bill russell and wilt chamberlain

It wasn’t media driven, narrative based, it was LEGIT !!

Is it free?

Could you maybe upload all MJ games? I know there's like 30% of his games that have never been uploaded before if you could somehow get into ALL his games I would buy it in a heartbeat price doesn't matter!

You could sell so many of those I guarantee it

That why usa scary that time, not only a talents, they have a tough defense

Bron? Is that u? Must be old!

Yea sir

Yeah…. Not too much 3

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.

Ikr, these guy's were insane great, and of course the GOAT.

Jordan also had nagging injuries he dealt with all season.. & you’re absolutely right, jordan was the epitome of competing. He would’ve never said let team up with other prime talent. The best part of his career was the journey & struggle it took before he & the bulls started winning. He helped lead a bottom tier franchise into a dynasty from scratch !

Man I never looked at it that way🥲😢

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.

Sucks that him & hill didn’t get to reach their full potential. Those 2 had so many more years to give to the game
