The meeting between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Los Angeles Lakers last Thursday marked the end of a historic rivalry. Much has changed since these two superstars first met in early 2004. Today the Lakers and Kobe Bryant are out of playoff contention while LeBron James’ Cleveland team is one of the favorites to win the championship. The Black Mamba and King James have played 22 exhibition games against each other and LeBron holds the winning record of 16-6. I know I can’t be the only fan upset at the fact that we will never be able to watch these legends play against each other again. Fortunately the finale lived up to all the hype. Kobe plays the shooting guard position and LeBron is usually posted at the small forward position but somehow they defended each other for most of the night! Even though they play two totally different positions, everyone feels their game is close enough to compare. When doing their individual comparisons most people look directly at the most important stat; Championships. Black Mamba has 5 but LeBron only has only managed to grab 2 so far! In their last meeting there was plenty of highlights, as expected. Kobe led his team in scoring with 26 points and staples center erupted every time he scored a bucket! King James only accounted for 24 of Cleveland’s 120 points but that’s all he needed to secure another win. This game was not important as far as the playoff picture but March 10th, 2016 is a date that will be marked in NBA history. After 20 amazing years, Kobe finally realized the NBA game moves very fast so no matter who you are your age will eventually catch up to you. After admitting that his basketball career is over Kobe Bryant has decided to retire after the 2016 season and will be missed very dearly.
