Why? Why would the names on the jerseys make a Finals more or less entertaining? Pull your head out of your ESPN-infested, storyline-obsessed ass.
While both in their primes.

I'll settle for Kobe v Lebron Western Conference Finals
yep. 4 quick games.
Because superstars and athletes with super-natural talents are showcased. I want to see the best players in the world on the biggest stage.
Since that would be a Lakers v Clippers WCF enjoy watching the Lakers three peat.
We saw Pau and Howard last year.
With a few exceptions, the best teams either play each other in the conference finals, or the Finals. (05, 06, 07 and 08 being glaring examples of the exception to this rule).
And he's still better than Lebron in his athletic prime.![]()
forget kobe-lebron. ill rather see this...

It's basically Kobe vs The NBA.......and he's winning.

lol @ Lakers fans thinking this series changes an undeniable fact that James is the best basketball player on the planet.
<--------------------
yeah 3 of those ain't got to do with prime shaq and phil jackson
From a pure tangible standpoint Lebron is the best player in the league.
When you factor in intangibles (killer instinct, wanting to win, stepping up to take the tough defensive assignment, not choking) it's a different story. Going into the series it was almost consensus Lebron > Kobe, but this series reminds us why it's still an ungoing debate.
No Pau > Kobe and LeBron
Its a fact that kobe acts like he's been there before, lebron acts like a dbag As long as he has the dbag at ude it will rub off on his game.
Or when you factor in actual basketball skill then it's not close. Kobe > Lebron
Lebron is no doubt one of the best athletes and world. Best players in the game have a ing post game. There is absolutely no excuse for him not have developed one. He just doesn't have the skill to do so.
Seriously, imagine Kobe with Lebron's size and athleticism posting up smaller people every single game.![]()
He has the ability to, but then there's the whole no killer instinct or desire to win thing that gets in the way of him developing a post game. He should be hitting up Hakeem this summer but I'm willing to bet anything he won't.
He doesn't have a developed post game for the same reason kobe didn't at bron's age, he doesn't need one. It's at ude plain and simple.
This.
For me - I have come to the conclusion that Bron is far and away the best regular season player.
But come playoff time..I will take the Black Mamba everytime.
Until LeBron either gets a respectable post game or a consistent jump shot...he will do NOTHING in the playoffs against teams who pack the paint against him. And the longer he goes without winning...the resepct he commands for officials will continue to dissipate IMO
Brons too busy dancing on sidelines...let the kid have his fun. Winning is overated.
Kobe didn't have a post game at age 24?
Maybe it wasn't as devloped as it is today...but god damn you can throw the rock down there and he will msot likely be getting a bucket.
It's crazy watching laker fan jack off to LeBron's chokes as if Kobert doesn't have his fair share as well.
