Michael Jordan 1997: 2nd Game Vs. Shaq/Kobe Lakers, 27pts



Uploaded by: hoopsencyclopedia
Video Description:
This 2nd meeting between MJ and Shaq's Lakers somewhat lost its luster due to Shaq being grounded from an injury. With the Bulls playing their 3rd road game in 4 nights, no one but MJ and Pip bothered to show up. MJ's crystal ball "words of wisdom" before the game should have been heeded but the energy just wasn't there. MJ, however, was his usual self with his intensity and defense - even though at 10-24, his shot took a rare night off by his standards - especially with him shooting a torrid 58.4% in his last 8 games leading up to this one.
But the main development was that Elden Campbell did his best Shaq impersonation and allowed the feisty Lakers to control the game this night. On a side note, it was pure entertainment watching a young Kobe Bryant displaying his zest in playing against his idol for the 2nd time in his career (the
1st game is also uploaded on my channel). And while the game was not the grand show it was supposed to be with Shaq out of the picture, MJ's footwork and cool fades were as satisfying as ever. And, of course, the customary 'move of the night' belonged to its rightful owner.

He's never really ... ( 5 months ago by thettruest)
He's never really given much credit to MJ, doesn't want to be known as the Jordan wannabe even though that would be overrating him. he also used to say he was more of a magic johnson guy than MJ in terms of favorite players.
The fact that Kobe ... ( 5 months ago by rrTale)
The fact that Kobe doesnt want to give credit to Michael is what makes Kobe a phony if you ask me. Its a well known fact that Kobe studied MJ's game to exhaustion, its a known fact he went as far as hiring MJ's speech coach! Its kinda scary man. Yeah maybe he idolizes Magic too but honestly can u see any trace of Magic in Kobe's game? Now try MJ. Its undeniable.

I know this comment is old,but its the truth I think thats the reason why I have a bit of a problem with Kobe.He says Magic was his idol but he uses a style thats more Jordanlike.He tries to walk talk and act like Jordan Kobe is phony.
People forget how ... ( 4 months ago by MJisKingKobesuckss)
People forget how great Jordan's basketball fundamentals were. Jordan is beyond great. It's really irritating how they compare Kobe to MJ when there's really no comparison. Kobe tries to emulate MJ in every way he can. To be the greatest ever, you must transcend the sport and be different. Jordan never looked like anyone it was his own style. Kobe will never be on that level.

He gives tons of credit to Jordan. Calls him the man on top of mountain, the greatest player of all-time, his mentor. Kobe's not a guy to admit much but he's always given credit to MJ as he should. In the recent interview with Mike you can tell how much he respects Kobe just for his work ethic. Calls him the greatest of his generation. Now Kobe will never have that level of "Jordan greatness" but he is a great player. I wish some people would give KB the same respect as their favorite player.

no i used to be a fan of the lakers, all the way to the late 90s, and i was interested in kobe when he was coming up. Of course he won't deny MJs greatness, but despite that he plays the same position and style, he didn't ever credit jordan with much influence or impact, and he does mention Magic. He simply doesn't like being in Jordan's "shadow" to every1 else, as he sees it, just like he didn't like being in Shaq's. Its all due to his ego. And no, he does not deserve the same respect as MJ.

Hey Hoopsencyclopedia,
First of all thanks a lot for posting this video. It turned me back in time. This was the first NBA game i
´ve watched and it made me a fan of this sport. Do you know where I could get an eye on the hole game. I really want to show it my kids someday to help them understand why I fell in love with this game when I was in there age. I hope you can help me out. Greetings from Germany.

kobe scored a total of 10 points vs the bulls in their two matchups in the 96-97 season. kind of hard to believe that now. 5 ppg average against jordan that year. jordan who average 29.6 ppg that season average 28.5 ppg against the lakers that year. 30 in their first game at chicago and then 27 in this game. just leaving a little stat for you guys. jordan was coming off a great game against the sonics prior to this game. he was still dominating the league at 33, but closer to 34 at that point.

Yes, I'm sure I got every FG here. I don't think that Frozen Moment scene is from a real game by the way.
