#1 Michael Jordan vs LA Lakers | April 2nd, 2002 | 2 points

Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant share a moment.

Towards the end of Michael Jordan's first season with the Washington Wizards, it was clear that there was a new sheriff in town in terms of the shooting guard position.

The new dominant player in the NBA at the same position Michael Jordan had reigned supreme during the 1990s was Kobe Bryant. As Bryant and the reigning champions LA Lakers got in Jordan and Washington's way on April 2nd, 2002, Jordan had one of the worst games of his NBA career.

He scored just two points (career low) in only 12 minutes of action (career low) as the Washington Wizards fell to the LA Lakers by 20 points. Signaling a passing of the torch.
