2003 KOBE BRYANT VS MICHAEL JORDAN#7/8 FULL TICKET MJ TRASH TALK GAME POP1 PSA 4

Description: PSA POPULATION REPORT 1 of 1 By far the hardest of Kobe & MJ’s 8 Head 2 Head meetings, this was the infamous game 7 that Jordans Wizards held onto a 1 point victory & Jordan told Kobe (who was wearing Jordan shoes) “you can wear my shoes but you will never fill them” the rest is history, Kobe would give Jordan the most devastating game of his career by dropping 42 on him the 1st 1/2 & 55 for the game. It took me 10 years to track this ticket down A throwback tale of when Michael Jordan trash-talked Kobe Bryant so hard that Kobe went silent for two weeks, only to drop 55 on Jordan Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant are two of the greatest basketball players in the game’s history. Even though they shared a good relationship off the court, on the court, they were fierce competitors. We all have heard stories about how fierce competitors these two were, and how they prioritized winning over everything else. The competitive nature was always the same for the two of them. Ever since Kobe Bryant was drafted into the NBA in 1996, he always looked up to Michael Jordan. Kobe tried to mirror MJ, and learn his moves. He used to pick Jordan’s brain during games when others were afraid to even face His Airness. The two developed a great relationship and became close friends off the court. Kobe Bryant did not speak to his teammates for two weeks after losing to Michael Jordan Despite being friends off the court, Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan never went easy on each other on the court. They both kept their level of gameplay at the highest against each other, and the same can be said about their trash-talking. Once when Jordan was playing for the Wizards, the Lakers lost to the Wizards by 1 point. Jordan then went up to Kobe and said, “you can put my shoes on all you want, but you would never fill them.” Kobe Bryant was wearing Jordan 8s at that time, and had also modeled his game after His Airness. However, this did not sit right with the Black Mamba, who went silent for the next two weeks and just kept training. Two weeks later, when he met Jordan and the Wizards again, Kobe dropped 42 points in the first half. He finished the game with 55 points and a win.
