I went through and kept a score card – I had Kobe winning 10, Lebron winning 9, and one matchup that had no winner because the Lebron V/Kobe 3 year was just dreadful.
An observation: It’s interesting to note that the majority of the matchups feature fairly pedestrian colorways on at least one of the athletes. One might think that given the spotlight on some of their previous matchups Nike would be inclined to have them wear more noticeable, unique colorways.
Interesting observation with one of the two wearing a “pedestrian” colorway when they played eachother. Of course have to factor in PE’s and special colorways are made for any occasion now, whereas before they were less frequent.
What’s sad is we can only ask “what if” they ever met in a NBA Final.
Very true about them being less frequent back then. Especially on the Kobe side of things. Seems like the Lebron 4 is when a massive number of PEs and special make ups became prevalent in LBJ’s line. I definitely agree about the what if, especially in a recent year with the Elite series and so many concepts for championship shoes.
