LeBron say the Celtics and Paul Pierce are his ONLY Rival

"I don’t really have an individual rival, but I think the closest would have to be Paul Pierce.
I would say Boston is a rival of mine, because I’ve met them so many times in the post season, I’ve been able to advance against them, they’ve sent me home fishing a few times…"

LeBron touched on the rival topic because Ahman Rashad was trying to force Kobe Bryant into the equation. Wrong.
It’s the Celtics and Paul Piece and no one else is close. But with Pierce’s career winding down and LeBron in his prime, there’s time for someone else (Paul George, Kevin Durant) to emerge.

I take LeBron at his word. Paul Pierce should feel honored and vice versa.

He doesn't play Kobe enough for that to be a rivalry. Idiot Ahman.

Kobe and LeBron have zero postseason meeting to go on. And playing each other twice a year is barely a rivalry.

The Celtics and Pierce beat him in the playoffs so many times when he was at Cleveland. Getting past the Celtics was his biggest challenge to becoming a champion, and even though the Celtics haven't beaten Miami since LeBron joined them, they were still in his head. Of course it's Pierce and the Celtics.

Hi,
Even when he did beat Celtics in playoffs, it was with the help of TWade (T stands for Thug) crippling RR and the help of zebras.

he knew he couldn't get past us without alot of help, we made him go to Miami and even then he couldn't really beat us....with a healthy Rondo that series in 11 is very different and last year, even without Jeff Green and AB we had them in 5 if refs don't hand game 2 to them in a silver platter.
