Kobe Bryant's first All-Star game in New York City at 19

[MegaZombie3]

Kidd was in the suns?!



[SephirothBlight]

@MegaZombie3 Yes, and with Nash and Kevin Johnson as his backup point guards.

[hardkor013]

2:50 is that Blake Griffin??

[21212nicky]

Man cut that bush

[rosterhoudt]

When mike said I'll see you down the road, That was Epic...

[hofc92]

I'll see you down the road~

[spacedout93]

Deep voice for 19...

[salarmander27]

@spacedout93 well, it is the 90s.

[killer1177]

Kobe is the reason I follow basketball!

One more championship Kobe, then you will be tied with Michael!

[Antrizzle2009]

I loved the young afro Kobe. He was so innocent and you could tell he loved the game. This was before he got full of himself and started the petty nonsense with Shaq. That's why I think their first ring was the best cuz it was before all the shit started.

[mabfx3]

Kobe's too cute.

And I love seeing KG, Shaq, and Kobe fooling around on the bench.

[Cudder1994]

lol now Kobe is always MVP!!!

[11Calgary]

Korshole--- it's because they're old

[huahfi]

There will be no Michael Jordan!.. Well no shit, the guy's name is Kobe Bryant!

Naah, Jordan is the best in history, but Kobe is the best right now, and not far from Jordan ;)

[nealogz]

LMAO 4 Lakers on that allstar game! How come they missed the playoffs.

[dciguy01]

@nealogz, ballot stuffing

[Antrizzle2009]

@nealogz They didn't miss the playoffs. They lost in the conference finals to Utah. That was year Kobe chucked up those air balls to lose the game. He got criticized for that but the truth is he was the only one on the team that had teh balls to shoot those shots. It was valuable learning experience tho.

[fullermrff]

@Antrizzle2009 another thing a lot of people dont know is that those plays were drawn up by Dal Harris...Kobe was told by his coach to shot those air balls(but im sure they were both hopeing they would go in LOL)

[2canable]

he looks like the happiest man on the world...19 years old playing against his biggest idol MJ...that had to be awesome

[huahfi]

@2canable id probably freak out and just be lost on the floor if i got to play against kobe :D

[KarmeerPlav]

dunno why but kobe reminds me of pac....

they have the same swagga....

[9424mrburr]

kobe was nappy back then but hell of a player he is now! 3-peat baby!!!!

[noname888ful]

0:50 THE KING!!!

[ybaby1990]

@ElliotHLee He saw Kobe's talent

[iwoodh82bu40]

he averages like 15 points a game off the bench that year. Should have never made it. Fan voting is a joke

[korshole]

Wat sup with Kobe and Garnett now? Seems like everythings changed between them.

[Domineck54]

@korshole cause they use to be young and stupid now there old and retarded

[rubyrich25]

at 0:50 is that KG?

[CHUCHITO624]

@rubyrich25  nah gary payton

[xXWMRXx0216]

This is the Kobe i like. Not the present Kobe.

[m3sexyballer]

@xXWMRXx0216 .whass wrong with kobe now

[angelsk93]

holy fuck.. 0:22, that ball must cost alot now..

[prieto2409]

[gimmeThumbsUp]

@prieto2409 fuck you.. stop watching kobe video when u hate.. ur retarded..

[klubizdashiznit]

at 1:50 yu can see tht jordan was lik god damnit shaq

haha

[jdmmuscle]

How prophetic, MJ- "I'll see you down the road".

[joshesparza1]

kobe is just as good as mj:)

[DLeshon]

lol you know its bad when u fake the cameraman XD

[JAYSKI43]

"LA LAKERS 2010 NBA CHAMPIONS"

[Domineck54]

@JAYSKI43 who cares

[grandedrip]

nice, did you hear jordan say "I'll see you down the road!" =)

[Funerarios1irmao]

awesome to see that even after all these years of playing against him, grant hill couldnt do anything to stop kobe... Garnett is next!!

[FxCamping]

just like him loving to defend Jordan, i would love to defend Kobe Bryant when im older. both very talented basketball players of the century.

[RammaRITOORITO]

who won?

[givenchi21]

@RammaRITOORITO mj is the MVP so the east won..

[RyouMemory]

@swordofscripture I'm a MJ/Kobe fan. but i noticed too many fkn MJ fan's talk shet and talk nerdy about "Stats" who's better, who's great. It's a fkn waste of time comparing.Different Era's, Both had bad days, both had good days. Too many fkn MJ fan's hate on Kobe's talent. Let KB be KB. MJ is MJ. Both champions, Different players. Similar type of playing style. One is older, one is younger. Stfu and Enjoy..Jesus.

[larine824]

@RyouMemory I couldn't have said it better myself

[rome04sho]

quote of a lifetime:

MJ (to Kobe)- "I'll see you later..."

[munkhjn1996]

one of the players that almost beaten michael

[Dopeboi3]

If only he still came with that young kid swag...its not the kind that fades with age

[BonzaiFanboy]

the east and west uniforms are better than home jerseys and away jerseys

[itzRETRO]

that that back when basketball was basketball now a days is who can get the most money in their contracts man i miss the good days of bball

[weba90]

Wow you sad fucks all over youtube need to stop comparing kobe, jordan, lebron etc. who fucking cares.. they're all good

[infblack3]

I Was at 'This joint ' madd crazzzy in 98' time of a lifetime. !!!

[clipcalhoon]

was that george karl>>???

[Psyched]

@clipcalhoon

yeah it is...

[AirFromRussia34]

is anyone know what music play at the start of the video?

[renato12100]

just like that mikes the mvp i love it

[aboverim]

There will be no next Michael Jordan, and now there will be no next Kobe Bryant.

[Psyched]

@aboverim

so true

[kobebryant24kb24]

at 0:56 Kobe looks a lot shorter then Jordan that is weird because they are both 6'6

[StevenP9891]

its the angle of the camera...

[xx35j2]

thats cuz he still growing dumbfuck jk ur not a dumbfuck LOL

[kobebryant24kb24]

lol

[moodyel3aboodi]

u retard kobe's behind jordan

[aboverim]

With the fro, Kobe was listed at 6'7. He's back to 6'6 now.

[blr14524]

why can't we be friends

[jrroq]

shaq and garnett used to dominate the west, now its the east!

[mdamian1984]

shaq hasn't dominated for the east since he played for the magic

[mbooker23]

@ 1:01 that wasnt a foul.

[popp2crazy]

1:48 was not a goaltend

[mbooker23]

yea hey jus gave jordan that call. great block by shaq

[24kobethebest]

2:17 great play

[swordofscripture]

0:55... never a more true statement was spoken, get over it

[carterclone070]

ur right they r very diffrent playas even when kobe is better than MJ he is not the next jordan

[swordofscripture]

lol....

[carterclone070]

why lol??? du agree or du just cant talk and u say lol every single time i comment on a vid

[swordofscripture]

i laugh because its a laughable comment, can ya dig it? "even when kobe is better than MJ" -good one

that make sense to you now?

[popp2crazy]

we are over it.. hes surpassed all the legends, shattered records, MJ had his time now its Kobes..

[swordofscripture]

thats the kind of braid-dead statement that will make allmost all fans non-laker, continue to disrespect your fanbase. He is a great player, but he's not, nor will he EVER be as good as MJ...PERIOD! Mike three-peated TWICE and owns Kobe in offense and defense. Im not sure where you went to school, but the facts are still the facts (not opinions) and you cant just make up your own reality...you either accept the reality of the situation or you live a lie, i guess your comfortable with the latter.

[popp2crazy]

for one, not sure what shool you went to but where I went its spelled Brain Dead not braid dead, Im not going to argue who is better they are both great and both legends of there own era.. we can "what if" all day about who woulda beat who if they were both in there prime, who cares if your a non laker or dont like our fan base lol.. We won .. again! Jordan was a Basketball God.. and now Kobe is a basketball God get over yourself and stop hation bro

[swordofscripture]

get over myself? lol yeah...coming from a guy who engaged ME in a conversation about the topic i brought up and then says he doesnt want to talk about it...i may make a mistake in my spelling from time to time, but i passed my courses in critical thinking. laker fans are like flies at a pic-nic, have fun homer!

[popp2crazy]

I never asked you to comment back dumb ass, I made the statement tht no ones arguing Kobes greatness and we are over the Jordan vs Kobe thier individual players who played in different eras, Never wanted an argument you Jordans cock suckers always want to put ur two cents in on a Kobe video, Jordan was awesome god like etc.. Im a Kobe fan so get over it sword do some critical thinking and engage a Jordan cock sucker in a conversation ok?

[swordofscripture]

lol, what a tool: " i never asked you to comment back". if you didnt wanna talk you shouldnt have opened your mouth, son. Im not a jordan fanatic at all, im a basketball fan in general, and i was alive to see him in his prime so i can objectively state my case, so I dont need to get over anything. you might want to take your own advice seeing as you felt the need to comment back to me about MY opinion. dont you see the irony in front of you or do you try to pretend thats not there too? MJ>KB ='(

[popp2crazy]

Lol I think we were all "alive" to see Jordan in his prime your opinion is your opinion, He was a great basketball player and hi era has been over for 11 years, you can always go watvh old jordan tapes and wack off since your so in love with him, this is a Kobe video so we comment on how great he is not Jordan He has his own videos homo, now its KOBE's era kobe, the black mamba, 4 championships, one of the greayest ever so get off our (Lakers/ Kobe fans) videos and get your own bitch!!

[swordofscripture]

so let me get this straight, your gonna try to pull the "this is MY Kobe video, so go get your own" card?!?! and then you accuse ME of being in love with Jordan? LOL!!!! what a hypocrite! The ANNOUNCER made the comment, and I agreed with him, as does 95% of fans, ex-players, analysts, and KoME himself! You hear and read what you want, because I openly stated that im not in love with MJ, but im smart enough to know he's better. its YOU who has the man crush, crying over your precious koME, ='(

[st3nkobe]

he is better but kobe has more skill and flare. Mj was a better athlete with more desire on the court. Kobe is the second best player of all time no doubt

[swordofscripture]

whats hilarious is a guy like you taking offense to a BASKETBALL related comment on a public video, and then copping an attitude with me for thinking that the announcer's statement was right. Its hilarious because right after you give me grief for stating an opinion about a sports figure, and accusing me of idolizing someone, you expose the real truth and show that your the one with the issue by saying things like "its Kobe's time now" and "go get your own ****!" lol, its just pitiful to see ='(

[elements201]

220: Kobe fakes out the camera. lol

[Fury1986]

Starting 28 seconds in the video, I seriously got chills watching Kobe and Tim Duncan. Both playing in their very first All-Star game. Tim Duncan a Rookie and Kobe a 19 year old prodigy. Those 2 had no idea( Well maybe Kobe did lol) that they would each go on to become 4 time NBA Champions and 2 of the 10 greatest players of all time.

[OtterAquafina]

I would love to see the the best Phil Jackson Laker and Bulls team play against each other during their prime! I especially would love to see the Kobe Bryant of today play vs the Michael Jordan in his best years. Kobe and Michael, amazing amazing.

[beshrew5]

whoa.. jack has been a fan ever since.. i bet he treasures that basketball/toy and looks up to it and says *i knew he'd be one of the greats*

*it'd be silly because there will be no next michael jordan* - commentator

yeah there'd be no next.. but i mean look at kobe.. he's up in the same league as MJ.

[Blaira89]

little did Kobe know, he would one day hold the record for most points scored in the garden. breaking Michael's record

[ayeoner]

wow, his philly accent is totally gone now.

[aobb223]

yea 4 real i just noticed that

[ip916a4bb]

Jack is a huge laker fan, funny character too. I remember watching that game live, was amazing. Jordan dominated as usual

[agentn9ne]

lol, kobe and garnett in one scene, as young guns. awesome.

[sosssth]

what was mike said to kobe at the end?

[dcb592]

i'll see you later down the road

[NotoriousChief]

Lol Kobe said I got Mike I got Mike I'll be the one saying who got Mike who got Mike dammit who got Mike.

[TREVorNOTHING]

by the time you finish saying all that, he would already score. hahahah

[agentn9ne]

twice.

[Streets23Baller]

kobe is a beast

[smallbutmightydude1]

look at his afro lol

[Serafim009]

KObe..so cocky...

And thats a compliment!!

KOBE BRYANT!!!!!!

[danbrown565]

that shot of kobe and mike is sick

[50bhhamnt]

back when making the all star game meant something

[holydad695]

hahahaha thats jack nicholson at :23

[STEVEEBEE]

yeh i thought it sounded and looked like him

[tmh1717]

damn seriously..its just like that 2pac song ...every other city we go, every other video...no matter where i go, i see the same HOE!!!lol

[BigKirv]

Well truthfully kobe is 6-foot 6. plus don't forget about the shoes that can make a person taller!!!!!

[partynski05]

haha i love how jack comes and asks him for his autograph during the interview

[xifocusxi]

i thought kobe was 6'5 then why does he look alot shorter than MJ?

[kwk610]

i thought he was 6'6. :(

[rylydyly]

Camera angles people. camera angles.

[kwk610]

yep thats true.

[Frozalone]

he just got the best record right now at that court wid 61 points go KOBE! MVP!

[maliyu]

When he was going past the players after his name was announced, just observe how ALL the players looked at him. Like, 'is this kid really THAT good?'. Wonder what they think now...

[Sumetra]

There is no, next Michael Jordan... but there is a first Kobe... I"ve never seen a player be as versatile as him at his age... Lebron is an assasin, but still mostly an inside threat... The main difference in Michael and Kobe, is Michael's body size and the size of his hands... They have similar hearts/intensity... In that respect Kobe is very much... just like Mike, but thats it... Different ball players for a different age. Alot has changed in the NBA since Michael ran it. More athletes.

[maliyu]

well said

[nalgas213]

at 0:35 he's sitting next to his enemies. shaq, and garnett.

[bashmo]

lol @ "there will be no next michael jordan" aint that the truth

[arvydas0069]

Damn...:38 sitting next to the reason Kobe has rings

[LmagnifiCent]

LOL at "of course there will never be a next Jordan" well said

[ballerexpert]

its funny they said it was rediculous to say he would be the next MJ because there won't be. well he's pretty darn close

[tehMGSerer]

Not that close actually.

[DonCorleone87]

HAHA Jack... always the #1 true Laker fan

[3732334]

kobe reminds me of tupac i dunno why

[coolboy03k]

me too =)

[TNAngIe]

haha look at those giant warmups so unstylish now!

[PipoyIZGreat]

This video makes it look like Mike's a bad guy.

[lethal2dble06]

man jordan was teaching kobe

[MStiff726]

Was that a Shawn Kemp sighting at 2:28?

[hejhs]

yes it is, back when he was with the cavs

[aprilmarco]

To bad he cant jump that high anymore.

[4646asdfasdf]

yo man they didnt show where kobe rejects the shit out of MJ

[sypop23]

Kobe makes jordan look like shit..

[caswell01]

hahahahaha bs

[PoPs2314]

kobe is better than jordan the announcer is a retard

[KendallT20]

NOPE!

[mladalegendaNC]

kobes a good guy

[6academic6]

of course there will be no next Michael Jordan , it couldn't be said better

[KendallT20]

TRUE!

[Methadone4Life]

Two greats,the classic showdown that always brings the best out of both..the aging Lion King vs the spry young newcomer. The King always gives the youngster a few lessons but one day he must move on and let the new King have the throne..until....some 10th grader out there may be waiting to take it from Kobe in a few years.

[joblagz]

yo man, wanna share your mj collection?

[Methadone4Life]

Still have this on VHS..have all of MJs games that were televised from 96-98..need to convert them to DVD before they erode.

[FMEGAIIIOI]

[MistaArni]

who's the guy at 1:26...#8 Hawks??

[utahjazz07]

Steve Smith

[Kidd2Nowitzki41]

steve smith

[MistaArni]

it was an honor 4 Kobe to guard the one and only MJ:P!when will Kobe get good as MJ...??probably never:)

[LosAngelesFresh1]

Lol Kobe has just about surpassed everything MJ has done besides titles and MVP awards..

[twinkiefetish]

When did they start making an all team uniform for all star weekend? In this one each person has their teams.

[aj8989]

why does jordon look taller the kobe

especially how both are listed at 6'6

[dooblavay]

umm maybe b/c jordan is standing clsoer to the camera...

[ibanezdude2006]

if we ever come in contact is aliens, we should send them a clip of that garnett to kobe alley oop.

SiIiIiIick

[ibanezdude2006]

jack is so cool

[TehRealEveryName]

MJ made a mockery of Kobe, but kobe did play well.. that 360 was sick.

[danpockets]

lol they said kobe will be the next mj then lebron i wonder whos next in line

[skipmoney1227]

im next in line lol

[ibanezdude2006]

O.J. simpson?

[xerxes106]

Wow, and I just noticed Grant Hill in an all star game, damn, the old days were awesome.

Daaaayam Kobe doesn't age at all does he.

[MarcSuX31]

i loved it when their uniform was their normal ones! plus you could see michael toying with everyone.. especially with kobe. lol! viva la mikel jorrrrdan!!

[kevotheasian]
