I just noticed it, but these guys have watched eachothers playoff lives unfold!They played as Lakers vs. Portland in 1999-2000, Lakers vs. Portland in 2000 - 2001, Lakers vs. Portland in 2001-2002, Lakers vs. Pistons in 2003-2004, Miami vs. Detroit in 2004-2005, and Miami vs. Detroit in 2005-2006.That's 6 times in the past 7 years, on a total of 4 different teams (Two each) and both played eachother during their Championship years.These guys must be best buddies by now... Or worst enemies
Both have been playing sub-par this playoffs to.I never knew they faced each other that many times in the playoffs, I've never seen them interacting with each other in any of these games though.

This is a nice stat, I never realized that they've played each other in so many playoff games. But it's always good to see the two of the best centers in the NBA go at it on the court.
