What do you think is the best rivalry between two players in the NBA?Pierce and LeBron has to be up there, they always put up huge numbers and go at it when their teams meet up, we're in Cleveland tonight which is what got me thinking of the topic.
Not necessarily SGs, just any two players. It usually does come down to SG/SFs though.Here's some stats on the Pierce vs. James matchup:<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Since James came into the league, the Cavs are 5-4 vs. Pierce and Boston. Pierce has averaged 30 points, 7.7 rebounds and 5.9 assists in those games. James has averaged 28.0 points, 5.9 rebounds and 5.4 assists. The two have guarded each other a majority of the time, which hasn't always been the case with high-profile opponents such as Bryant, Wade and Anthony.</div>

Well anytime any combination of Wade, Anthony, Bryant, James, McGrady, Iverson, Pierce, etc. goes head to head it's a great game, but I think that James vs. Pierce is just an exceptionally good match up.
That's because you like Dwyane Wade lol. Although I did pick Pierce, so I can't blame you. It's always better to see the home team involved.

Is it active players or just everyone that played in the NBA?If it's everyone it has to be Larry vs. Magic.
There aren't many player rivalries out there. I would say Kobe vs. Shaq even though they don't play the same position. That's why that game has been on Christmas 2 years straight. Everyone wants to see the two of them battle it out.
