Los Angeles Lakers star forward LeBron James and former Lakers legend Kobe Bryant are two of the best basketball players of all time. Because both players played simultaneously, Kobe versus LeBron is considered the biggest NBA final match that never took place.
Topps created a trading card of Kobe and LeBron for the 2008-09 season, the year that the two future Hall of Famers were supposed to meet in the NBA Finals. Unfortunately, LeBron and the Cavs lost to Dwight Howard and the Orlando Magic in the Eastern Conference Finals.

Kobe and his legacy played an important role in the four-time champion coming to the Lakers in the summer of 2018 in hopes of becoming the next big Laker.
James had finally planned to sit down with Kobe on how he handled playing in the City of Angels for his entire 20-year career. Unfortunately, that meeting never happened when Bryant and his daughter Gianna were tragically killed in a helicopter crash last year. LeBron is still distressed at the idea of not having the conversation with the late legend.
