First game for both teams in the lockout shortened season (1998/99). Young O'Neal vs old Charles Barkley in another duel of two superstars.

Shaquille O'Neal: 30 points, 14 rebounds, 6 assists, 13/21 FG.

Charles Barkley: 31 points, 15 rebounds, 3 assists, 12/21 FG.

Kobe had his first double-double ever (25 points, 10 rebounds) and played amazing defense on Pippen. Great game overall.

Lakers won this one 99:91.
