Kobe vs LeBron.
The battle is debated across living rooms, bars, classrooms, office break rooms, and everywhere else that people can come together to discuss basketball. The two have treated fans to plenty of entertaining contests over the years, and both players never shy away from giving the fans what they want in guarding each other during games.
The Cavaliers roster is bolstered by stars such as Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love, but it is King James who is consistently the hottest ticket in town.
For the Lakers, it will be another test of their roster as they face the high-powered Cavs and it could be a huge game for Byron Scott as well. He will have to show that he can be effective with the players available and the Cavs will be one of the last great indicators for the team to show where they stand in the bigger picture of the NBA.
Even so, it will be the final time Bryant hosts LeBron James at the Staples Center. Regardless of the talent on the floor, both will be looking to give each other and fans one last showdown for the road and James will be a willing dance partner for the Mamba.
