NBA Live 98 (PS1) (Bulls vs Lakers) (February 1st 1998)
From Oakland to Inglewood the Chicago Bulls go, to face the Los Angeles Lakers once again. And this time, this regular season game will be nationally televised. The NBA wants the whole country to see Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant go at it.
My version of this game is a true nail biter unlike the real life game. Who wins? I'm not telling, but I will say this: Basketball players with acting talent like Rick Fox should not be underestimated.
