The “what if” of a Kobe Bryant-LeBron James NBA Finals appearance is one that will define that era of the league. The two had numerous chances to meet, specifically in the early 2010s as the Lakers were reeling off NBA titles and LeBron was forming a super team in Miami.
Interestingly, though, that success from the Lakers led to the formation of Heatles, as Dwyane Wade recently revealed. Tony Parker launched his own podcast recently called Skweek Show and opened with an absolutely star-studded episode that included French singer Matt Pokora, French soccer legend Thierry Henry and fellow new Hall of Famers Dirk Nowitzki, Pau Gasol and Wade.
