Nba 1998/99 - Lock Out, Jordan Retirement, New York Knicks-San Antonio Spurs -

The NBA is on a roll in France. The second largest market in the world after the United States, American basketball and its culture attract more and more fans to Tony Parker's country every year. Among them, a solid base of "pioneers" whose nights were lulled by the exploits of Jordan, Pippen or Barkley in the 90s. NBA lovers who will forever remember the painful memory of a season like no other: 1998-1999.

And for good reason! For seven months, they were deprived of their sport by the longest lockout (strike) in the history of the Major League and lost for the second time the greatest player in history, Michael Jordan. And yet, despite the pain and many criticisms, this season was also full of emotions and unforgettable events.
