I always wanted to see Kobe vs Lebron

I'd be curious to know which bench Phil Jackson would be on.

2012-2013 Heat vs Current Warriors
Imagine Wade and LeBron taking on Durant, Curry, and Thompson. Bosh vs. Draymond also would have been a really fun matchup to watch.
2005/2007 Spurs vs. 2008 Celtics
It would have been great to watch KG go up against Duncan with a comparable supporting cast.

Late 80s Celtics vs. Olajuwans Rockets
Olajuwon and the Rockets lost to the Celtics 4-2 in the1985-86 NBA Finals.
Now, Hakeem was only a second year player and not in his prime at that time.

Steve Mash and Dominique Williams
But seriously though, Kobe ended his run RIGHT before Lebron started dominating. Almost kind similar to Kobe and MJ.

Dirk's Mavs vs. Celtics Little Three & Rondo

The 01 Lakers vs 93/96 Bulls.
Also, if MJ stayed one more year we could've gotten the Bulls vs the 99 Spurs. That Spurs team was incredible that year.

Well the best matchup of all-time would have been the 1986 Finals.
'86 Celtics were at their apex, best team they ever had and maybe the best team ever...Bird was still healthy.
Lakers were almost at their apex but a year away...Magic was hitting his ultimate prime.
Celtics killed the Rockets 4-2...and they lost 4-2 to the Lakers the next year as an injured team.
But Lakers blew it and lost to the Rockets in the Western Conference Finals.
If only they had met the year before!
Bird and Magic never really met when both were at their peaks.

Great topic OP. Interesting to think about it.
I always thought it was a shame none of those Rocket teams played the Bulls.
Not the championship, but the 1996 Eastern Conference Finals between the Magic and Bulls was a potential great matchup ruined by huge injuries to the Magic (Horace Grant Game 1, Nick Anderson Game 3). Bulls easily won in 4.
