The late 90s All Star games were better than this w/ Jordan, Pippen, Barkley, Shaq, Robinson, Malone, Stockton, Kemp, Mutumbo, Ewing, among others all in the same game.
Look at how hard these guys compete against each other. Players were better and look at the front lines! Duncan, Garnett, Mutumbo, Webber, etc...(Shaq didn't play). Front court players today would get KILLED by these guys. The wings are amazing to. I shake my head when idiots say today's players are more athletic than these guys in their prime. HAHAHA.....they see an old Duncan and an old Garnett and be like "see Duncan and Garnett are slow". Hahhahaha....Duncan and Garnet are going to be 40 so of course they are slow.
Duncan and vice are my childhood heroes two of my fav amazing to remember this game and that block by carter to that little bunny by tim imo should hay look for quick fake or contact but one of the greatest 🎉
+kATOsTaRiS ....Kobe made the right play by passing the ball to Duncan bc Mutombo had a great chance of blocking Kobe's & (Did you see at 12:28 how high Mutombo jumped to contest Kobe's shot?-- Dikembe wasn't going to let the ball get past him) On the fly Kobe saw Tim Duncan who had a smaller Vince Carter guarding him (Duncan had a much better chance of hitting that last shot) Bc what were the odd's of the smaller Vince Carter (Even w/ his insane leaping abilities?) getting a piece of Duncan's shot in the last seconds in the game...? (see if i was Kobe i would have also put my money on Duncan shooting over Carter vs. Kobe trying to shoot over the D.M. who was already putting pressure on Kobe w/ his towering presence to either force up a bad shot or pass it w/ only seconds left in the game.
@@elnardowebster2842 Not a good pass though because it was about 2 seconds too late; had Tim open right after he rolled, but allowed Carter to get over & block Tim by waiting too long.
Yeah I remember this game clearly was the best damn night of my life for watching the NBA my boy is Stephon Marbury did his thing I was screaming loud that game I was horse the next day LOL the good old days and the old NBA the best time to watch that was always something excited every game every team at explosive player the next day of school everyone including the principal's had something to talk about that's when you know Sports was good
20 yrs after this game comparing it to 2022 all star gamers I wanna cry for our new generation for witnessing washed up players these years much respect for all athletes around the world but it seems like 2000 era was the best in basketball I wanna say after MJ who really impacted the world of basketball we saw greatest players to walk on the court of basketball, salute to that generation
The allstar game was boring asf this year compared to this ... I mean you can hear the crowd through out the whole game and this years the crowd was sleep
NBA at its Best.! With out the baby fouls!!!!.Kobe im getting Older when he's 20 yrs old. Lol can still Dunk. Like Jordan.!!!!! A mix of old new all star players always good. Miss this NBA.!!
Best all star ever! Mutumbo prevents Kobe from shooting, Vince nearly blocks Duncan and Webber gets slightly pushed by McGrady causing to miss. Sick defense!
Golden days were the 80s with Jordan, Magic, Bird, Ewing, Dominique, Isaiah, Hakeem, Barkley etc. But this era of guys that came out all around the same time in mid 90s was the second wave...Shaq, Kobe, A.I., Duncan, Garnett, Vince, Kidd, McGrady
One thing I have always wondered is during the 2001 Allstar Game finish. Chris Webber is not able to do a final tip in and clock expires. Latrell Sprewell rushes from the bench and starts yelling and harrassing C-webb while all the other East teammates celebrate. This is early internet era so I cant find any information on why Sprewell is so upset.
It's amazing how these were real basketball players I'm trying to think did anybody mention some guy named LeBron of course not he couldn't hang with these guys
