It's more so Lebron vs teams, than an individual rivalry. imo

"Lebron vs GSW" in the twilight of his career is what will standout most. Particularly the 3-1 comeback, even if he was 1-3 overall in the Finals vs them.

Also, before all the injuries, I felt "Heat vs Bulls" and the David vs Goliath dynamic between D Rose and Lebron was starting to surge, esp with Rose becoming ridiculously popular. I didn't really see Lebron vs Pierce as a thing, moreso a "could the aging Celtics pull one over the upstart Heat" thing

Paul Pierce is like any other retired nba player with time on the air, he's got to hype himself up because he knows younger people ain't really checking old highlights that much

It’s Durant.

Despite winning 3 rings, Bron has always stood on the fact that he’s the best player in the world. The only dude to ever challenge that is KD. Pierce may have had some good series against him but nobody saw them as peers. There was a huge gap between Bron/KD and the rest of the league for a very long time.

Lol at Curry or Durant being LeBrons rival :mjlol:

I swear some of y’all don’t live on the same planet, and I haven’t watched a game outside of the finals for quite some time.

he is.

but hes feeling himself acting like hes the reason why LeBron formed the heatles.
the big 3 is the reason. not paul pierce himself, who wasn't even the best player on the team.

but Carmelo would be bron's biggest rival for the regular season. and it made for a more intriguing matchup. becuz nobody was anxious to see bron versus pierce. it was more about the teams when it came to their rivalry, as opposed to when we knew melo & bron were about to square off.
