1997 Bulls vs Lakers Jordan vs Kobe Ticket The Duel / Advice Game! ICONIC PHOTO

One of the most iconic images/photos between Jordan and Kobe was taken during this game known as the Duel or the Advice game. On December 17, 1997, during a Bulls-Lakers game, a 19-year-old Kobe Bryant asked Michael Jordan for advice on his signature turnaround jump shot, specifically how to use his legs to feel the defender and create space.

Jordan openly shared his technique, encouraging the young guard's pursuit of excellence. The Scenario: In Kobe's second season, the Lakers visited Chicago. Kobe, having just scored 33 points, was actively studying the veteran champion.

The Advice: Jordan told Kobe to "feel the defense with your legs" to determine where the defender is and to use that to his advantage. The Aftermath: Jordan admired Kobe's work ethic and curiosity, telling him, "If you ever need anything, give me a call". This interaction solidified a mentorship that influenced Kobe's five championships. The product is a vintage ticket stub from the 1997 Bulls vs Lakers game featuring Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant.

This unique item is a piece of sports memorabilia that captures a historic moment in basketball history. With a PSA 8 grade, none higher, this ticket stub is a valuable collector's item for fans of the Chicago Bulls and basketball enthusiasts alike. It is a rare and authentic piece that showcases a classic rivalry between two legendary players.
