Basketball Butterfly Effect: Why Didn’t LeBron Ever Play Kobe in the Finals?
On this episode of the Edge of Sports podcast, Arya Shirazi joins the show for another installment of Basketball Butterfly Effect.
Where sports and politics collide, hosted by Nation magazine Sports Editor Dave Zirin
Kobe Bryant and Lebron James are two of the most defining players of their generation and NBA history. While a considerable portion of their careers overlapped, the two never met in the NBA finals. Why? What would have happened? Arya and I discuss on this week’s episode.
