Okay, cool, so it's not just me then. Yeah, people have been wanting LeBron/Kobe forever, so that would be huge. And since most think that LeBron/KD are the two best players now, that would also be huge.juck said:

No offense, cause I think Kobe is definitely the best "all-time" player of all players currently playing. He's a Top 10 all-timer, period. Kobe commands more respect than any player currently playing. And I've conceded that Kobe/LeBron would be the biggest ratings bonanza with LeBron/KD coming in second.Cowboys&LakersFan;4547903 said:

While I appreciate the Clippers hate, the star power of Paul/Griffin combined with it being a big market team makes them a big ratings draw, I would think. Much more than the Grizz. The Grizz are a small market team and don't have any star power.MC KAos;4547946 said:

But Kobe right now versus KD right now? Pretty much every analyst and expert gives it to KD right now. All year long, we've heard that LeBron and KD are the two best players in the league now. I'm just saying what all the talking heads and fans think, and of course the more it's said, the more it's believed and taken as fact. Like it or not, that's the court of public opinion. Believe me, if the Heat and Thunder do happen to make it to the Finals, it will be billed as the two best players in the league going head to head. Cherry picking a couple of playoff series shooting percentages won't change that fact.
(And a Kobe fan really shouldn't be arguing with a KD fan about shooting percentages in the first place, that's a losing battle..
Okay, yes, after a couple of potential blowouts, that could be the case. But initially, the interest and ratings would be high. And the Clippers could give the Heat some trouble. I don't think it would be full out domination by the Heat.MC KAos;4547967 said:
While I do agree that great, physical defenders give KD trouble, he still ends up making big plays or contributing in other ways. First game, he had 4 huge blocks and hit a clutch gamewinner. Second game, he came up with 10 rebounds and got to the free throw line a lot. He's a winner and finds a way to help his team even when his shot isn't falling. And while I give Marion a ton of credit, KD has missed a bunch of open looks that he would normally hit. I'd say his trouble are about 50% Marion and 50% just a little shooting slump.The30YardSlant;4547977 said:

First off just because outplay someone in an individual matchup does NOT make you a better player. For example often times in their careers Deron Williams has outplayed CP3, but he's obviously not a better player. Parker also has a MUCH better team around him. He's got Duncan and Manu who while they're past their primes are still All Star caliber players along with a slew of very good players like Leonard, Green, Jackson, Spitter, Neal, Bonner, etc. it's a shame CP3 doesn't have a championship caliber supporting cast around him, but if Stern hadn't blocked the trade he would have.
