1. Lebron vs. Kobe
We We had to waitun till LBJ developed, refined his game and got a few sidekicks. But now that these things have occurred, we, as basketball fans, are witnessing the best two-man rivalry since Magic vs. Bird.
It would be hard to argue against these two players being the heir apparent to MJ’s throne. But which one?
KobKobe has the three rings, albeit with Shaq, who at the time was the focal point of his team. Lebron is rewriting just about every “Youngest to...” record in existence. This year, both players emerged from the gate with purpose and established their teams as top contenders.
BotBoth players have had a flair for the dramatic. Kobe’s 61-point game and Lebron's 52-point triple-double (NBA stat-keepers be damned) back-to-back at the Garden make one of the fiercest separate-game player-on-player competitions the game has ever seen.
KobKobe has tailored his game after the G.O.A.T. (MJ), and so far it has worked out wonderfully for him. LeBron may have more talent and ability than anyone who has ever set foot on some hardwood.
Kobe is 30, and LeBron is 24, so that leaves us with roughly four or five more years of what could become the greatest two-man rivalry of a generation.
