Everyone always wanted to see Kobe vs Lebron and tried to make them rivals. But no one ever thought that Bron would face Duncan three times in the Finals while we never got to see that Bron Kobe matchup that probably would have broken viewership records. It says something for Tim that even after losing a little bit a few years back he's still relevant and more than a presence when he's on the court. This series will probably be a 6 or 7 game series too and I cant wait. While the Thunder and Heat were the sexier matchup me as a basketball purist wanted to see a rematch of last years classic. Between the two best players of the 2000's if you ask me.
I never thought of them as rivals till now
