SZ US 9: 1998 NIKE AIR JORDAN XIII OG 13 ALL STAR BLACK

AIR JORDAN XIII

February 8th: weeks before the 1998 NBA All-Star Game in New York, there's been great media hype around the anticipated All-Star matchup between Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant... Bryant, in his first All-Star Game appearance, was eagerly to prove himself again Jordan, who was possibly playing the last All-Star Game in his amazing career...
 
　

AIR versus HEIR

"The hype was me against Kobe. I was just glad that I was able to fight him off."

The big question entering Sunday's NBA All-Star Game, whether or not illness would stop Michael Jordan, was answered only 15 seconds into the game. The question as to whether or not anyone can stop Jordan ... that one is still being asked. Jordan, whose Most Valuable Player performance overshadowed the impressive All-Star debut of Kobe Bryant, led a balanced East attack, scoring 23 points, grabbing six rebounds and also dishing a team-high eight assists, including three during a 20-1 run early in the fourth quarter that blew the game open and led to the East's 135-114 win.

On the East's first possession, Jordan exploded from the left wing to the middle of the lane, and drained a running jumper. They were off and running. The East never trailed, and frequently held double-digit leads even before their decisive fourth-quarter flourish. "I've been in bed for three days, basically," said the three-time All-Star Game MVP. "I didn't really expect to come out here and win the MVP. I just wanted to fit in, to make sure Kobe didn't dominate me. The hype was me against him. I was just glad that I was able to fight him off."

From the outset, the game looked like a mano-a-mano duel between Air and Heir, as Jordan and Bryant took turns firing it up with varying degrees of success. The 19-year-old Bryant, eager to live up to the hype that has followed him around all week, attacked Jordan offensively. He hit a 17-foot jumper early, but misfired on several circus shots. He finally drew praise from the Garden crowed when he let his athleticism take over. Midway through the opening period, Bryant took a pass from Shaquille O'Neal, went skyward and performed a 360-degree spin before slamming the ball through the cylinder. On the West's next possession, Bryant found himself on the receiving end of a Kevin Garnett alley-oop, which he retreived in midair and buried.

Bryant found his stroke in the second half. He hit three shots, including a pair of long three-pointers, and finished with a team-high 18 points on 7-for-16 shooting from the field. As comfortable as Bryant looked on offense, he was no match for Jordan. Early on, Jordan hit a pair of high-arching turnaround baseline jumpers over Bryant, and scored seven straight points for the East as they built their lead to 25-15 in the waning moments of the first.
The 34-year-old Jordan, who also won the MVP award in 1988 and in 1996, thought the youngster showed remarkable poise. "He came at me early, which I would have done if I were him. If you see someone who's sick, or whatever, you've got to attack him. He attacked. I like his attitude."
