During the NBA’s golden age, Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan were unbeatable with their different styles of play. Furthermore, they were quite famous for their friendship and brotherhood off the court as well.
On the court, we saw their competitive nature result in great things. And off the court, we see them helping each other become better players. Jordan often talked about how Kobe sometimes called him in the middle of the night to talk about basketball.

“He used to call me, text me, 11:30, 12:30, 3 in the morning, talking about post-up moves, footwork, and sometimes the triangle. At first, it was an aggravation, but then it turned into a certain passion,” recalled Jordan.

As part of their announcement of their upcoming release, they revealed the album’s title and release date.
