These are the clear cut best 2 players in the league and nobody is even close to being close to on their level. They are champions, MVPs, finals mvps, constantly on the all nba first team and making deep runs every year.

If the nuggets and bucks meet in the finals a few times do you think this could be an all time rivalry

Wemby and Cooper Flagg?

Kobe kinda did his winning before LeBron made it to the league, then after LeBron had solidly overtaken him. Then Durant was definitely never as good as LeBron. Really the rivalries are more Spurs then Warriors/LeBron.

It was Kobe vs LeBron

Then, after the 2012 playoffs it became Durant vs LeBron

Then, after the 2015 playoffs it became Curry vs LeBron

Nowadays I suspect it's Jokic vs Giannis

Lebron has like 5 rivals the 08 Celtics core, spurs dynasty, curry and kd now the nuggets although he’s struggling with the current one.

Lebron and Durant / curry were never rivals . It’s been Paul pierce and only Paul pierce.

Kobe/LeBron wasn't a rivalry. It was Curry/LeBron.

The next great rivalry could be Jokic/Giannis. That seems to be the most logical for now.
