Things remained consistent during Kobe and Michael’s second matchup of the 1997-98 NBA season as they each sported their customary signatures. Once again, Michael got the better of the up-and-coming star, as MJ tallied 31 points, 2 assists and 5 rebounds in a loss; all while rocking a white and varsity red colorway of the Air Jordan 13. As for Bryant, the second-year pro laced up a white and black makeup of the adidas KB8, as he scored 20 points, snagged 4 rebounds and handed out an assist.
