Points: 23 to 18 in favor of Jordan
Win: East (Jordan)
Kobe Bryant wasn’t even a regular starter for the Los Angeles Lakers but still garnered a starting roster spot within the 1998 NBA All-Star game. However, in what seemed to be a theme early-on in their respective matchup, Michael Jordan would steal the show, securing MVP honors with 23 points, 8 assists and 6 rebounds in the “Playoff” version of the Air Jordan 13. Ultimately, Kobe didn’t disappoint as he tallied 18 points, dished out an assist and snagged 6 rebounds in the “All-Star” version of the adidas KB8.
