wade vs Bron had potential

Only legit rival LeBron has is Paul Pierce. Every one else is/was just a media narrative.

 

[NkrumahWasRight Is Wrong]

Barkley/Jordan and LeBron/Kobe shouldnt be options whatsoever.

Pierce could be argued as a Kobe rival as well for their finals appearances and a couple of their gully regular season show-downs

@Truth200 link me to where you're finding these high-res full basketball photos

Best rivalry: iverson vs Marbury

 

[I AM WARHOL]

I feel like Wilt/ Russell was too before our time to really appreciate. Bird magic however is more recent and was marketed heavily by the NBA. It is probably the biggest person to person rivalry in sports

Went with Bill vs Wilt but could have easily picked magic and Bird.

Kobe and Ray was a very underrated rivalry for years. Those two just didn't like each other for whatever reason. And you could tell when they played each other.
