MICHAEL JORDAN 1997: 2nd Game vs. Shaq & Kobe Lakers, 27pts...
This 2nd meeting between MJ and Shaq's Lakers somewhat lost its luster due to Shaq being grounded from an injury. With the Bulls playing their 3rd road game in 4 nights, no one but MJ and Pip bothered to show up.
MJ's crystal ball "words of wisdom" before the game should have been heeded but the energy just wasn't there. MJ, however, was his usual self with his intensity and defense - even though at 10-24, his shot took a rare night off by his standards - especially with him shooting a torrid 58.4% in his last 8 games leading up to this one.

But the main development was that Elden Campbell did his best Shaq impersonation and allowed the feisty Lakers to control the game this night. On a side note, it was pure entertainment watching a young Kobe Bryant displaying his zest in playing against his idol for the 2nd time in his career (the 1st game is also uploaded on my channel).

And while the game was not the grand show it was supposed to be with Shaq out of the picture, MJ's footwork and cool fades were as satisfying as ever. And, of course, the customary 'move of the night' belonged to its rightful owner.
