John Cusack reveals MJ's hilarious quip to Kobe during final matchup

Actor John Cusack was sitting courtside for the final game between Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant in 2003, and he witnessed a particularly memorable moment between the two legends.

During a recent appearance on "Jimmy Kimmel Live," Cusak revealed what Jordan said to Bryant that made them both laugh.

"At some point in the game, everyone knew Michael and Kobe were gonna go one-on-one," Cusak said. "So Kobe got the ball, cleared everybody out and everybody started to bristle up with anticipation that it was gonna be Kobe against Michael.

"And Kobe started to drive, Michael stepped right in front of me and he took the charge. And he went down and Kobe's standing above him and Michael just looked up and said, 'Well everybody in the f------ building knew you weren't gonna pass.' Then there was a pause - it was like, the old pro got him, the old vet got him. And Kobe just started laughing, they both started laughing."
