Post-Jordan Transition Era: Rise of Kobe Bryant, Allen Iverson, and new young superstars. The 1998-99 season was shortened to just 50 games due to a league-wide lockout. As a result, card manufacturers produced fewer sets and lower print runs, making specific inserts from this era surprisingly scarce today.
