February 10, 2016 and March 10, 2016 – Lakers vs. Cleveland Cavaliers
If this indeed ends up being Kobe Bryant’s last NBA season, these are two of the games that will be remembered for years to come.
Fans around the league know that Kobe has a habit of having monster games when the lights are the brightest and that is exactly what this represents. The stage is set perfectly for a passing of the torch moment similar to the ones Magic Johnson and Larry Bird had with Michael Jordan, and that Jordan had with Kobe.
Last season, we watched as Kobe and LeBron fooled around after a missed dunk, and I expect a similar jovial attitude in what may ultimately be their final two meetings.
