Fact or Fiction: LeBron James and Tim Duncan are rivals.

[KyleKong]

They've met 3 times in the Finals already. Very good chance we can see them meeting again after this season.

Would you consider them rivals, even though they have an off court friendship with each other?

Side question: Do you think it's not a LeBron Vs Duncan rivalry, but a LeBron vs Spurs rivalry?

Dude's old enough to be Bron's grandfather

[Cocaine80s]

Duncan is too old to consider lebron his rival

Duncan is too old to consider lebron his rival

Because of the age difference you don't see them as a rivals, even though they've met in the finals three times in their careers? Not arguing against your opinion, just curious on the reasoning.

[1987_Lakers]

They play different positions and there is an age gap.

Bird & Kareem weren't considered rivals.

I feel like rivals gotta hate each other.


Thats why i dont think durant and bron are rivals because they hang out during the offseason. I think Pierce and Bron was a legit rivalry

Pathetic.

No. Too old.

But Magic and Bird were rivals, they played different positions, only thing they had in common was age, then.

[KyleKong]

No. Too old.

Huh, I didn't know so many people take age into factor when it comes to rivalries. This is interesting.

[Magic 32]

No. Too old.

They always are.

Cover my ass from what exactly?

Been saying Timmy is old as dirt from the jump.

We really gonna make believe dude is even remotely close to his prime?

They were both perimeter guys. It's hard to label a PG-SG-SF a rival to a Center.

Before this thread gets taken over by LeBron stans and LeBron haters, I just want to say that this is the dumbest post I've read in awhile.

Interesting opinion. When I look at rivals I look at the 'star' of the teams, not position or age. But I see what you're saying.

But wouldn't it make more sense to call LeBron and Duncan rivals rather then LeBron and Parker rivals? Or do you disagree?
