"Yes or No?", "Hot or Cold?", "Pepsi or Coke?" Those are some of the most popular questions I've been asked before, just to name a few. Another one that's soon to be on the list is, "Kobe or LeBron?" The former Team U.S.A. teammates have became bitter rivals over the past few seasons and are both at the top of the list in almost every offensive category. Many questions are being asked from who you think is the best in the NBA, to who deserves MVP honors. Both are debates that could be fought for either side. The rivalry is slowly starting to shape up similar to the rivalry Bird and Magic once had. Not as much history between the two, but it's getting there.
As a Kobe fan, I have to tip my hat to LeBron and for what he's done this season. I may not be the biggest fan of the so called "King James", but I give credit where it's due. And he's done a phenomenal job in turning around that franchise. However I am in no form of supporting the LeBron Bandwagon. All of a sudden kids are coming out of nowhere, claiming to like a team [The Cavaliers] that many never even knew existed until LeBron was drafted. Not to mention half of them don't even know which state Cleveland is located in.
But at the end of the day, all that matters is who wins and who's sent home. An answer that may not be known until after the NBA Finals (If either team makes it that far of coarse). But another title Kobe has under his belt, is who owns the Most popular jersey in the NBA. Bryant reclaimed the #1 spot from the former 2007-2008 leader, Boston Celtics Center Kevin Garnett. The Lakers also topped the list of most popular team merchandise for the sixth time in seven years. Talk about Bragging rights..

ReplyDeleteSquad they became really close friends, still are. Lebron once said
Its an honor to be compared to one of the greatest like kobe bryant
True fact...
But fuk lebron
Yeah, they've got somewhat of a friendship, but I'd call it more of a respect between one another. When you face each other you put everything aside and focus strictly on the game. And you two are enemies for that day.
ReplyDeleteAnd there's no doubt LeBron is mainly focusing on trying to upstage Kobe. We seen it when Kobe put on the show @ Madison Square Garden, and LeBron tried to steal the spotlight.
Whether they're friends or not a rivalry between the two is what the sport needs.
