The people have yearned for a Kobe-LeBron series since many basketball fans got frustrated when LeBron teamed up with one of his greatest opponent Wade. Many fans have been hungry to brag about a team rivalry like the old Lakers and Celtics. The beginning of this series could end up being the start of something beautiful – a young rivalry that the NBA has been longing for.

And speaking of LeBron, his stats are pretty staggering. He got averaged 30.8 points, 9.6 boards and 5.1 assists throughout the playoffs. Those numbers are just overwhelming. But aside from that he was given the title of “choker” when he defeated the Boston Celtics and beat the home team with 45 points and 15 rebounds.
Nevertheless, a lot of what has weighed down LeBron has been emotional. He was too young then to defeat a solid Spurs team in his first championship run. And when they lost to Dallas last year, he seemed pressured by expectations. But now, LeBron is demonstrating that he was able handle those predicaments and this year he is playing his games with a purpose that many people haven’t seen in him. However, the game isn’t just about him.
