Lebron vs. Kobe

ABC had the promos edited and ready to go. David Stern was giggling with anticipation. And basketball fans everywhere were all amped up for the matchup of all matchups. Kobe vs. Lebron. Only Clevelanders, well versed in the agony of defeat, and the Orlando Magic seemed to think it would be any other way.

Well, even though the cards didn't play out as expected, the latest campaign from Nike brings Lebron and Kobe together for us... sort of. Nike has created the puppet version of these 2 slam-dunking athletes. Filled with hilarious one-liners, trash talking banter and other antics, this is great, great stuff. And hopefully, for those Cleveland fans muttering "next year, next year" as they now focus on the last-place Tribe, this is a foreshadowing of the 2010 finals.
