Lebron James and Carmelo Anthony. They are both drafted in the NBA 1st round. They're both leaders of their old school's team and now on their NBA teams. Both made a great impact in the league and even elevate the NBA status. Competitive and passionate about the game. Leaders in votes for ROY award except that LBJ edged Melo. Somehow their rivalry is often overlooked because of the sportsmanship that they carry as a professional, but you can sense the rivalry 'cause each one works so hard to prove who's better or best.

What people fail to realize is that a big rivalry comes from the fans which means media which means BUZZ! And right now I would have to say Kobe and Shaq everybody was glued to their television when they were playing each other. Lebron against Wade or Carmello because they all are suppose to save the NBA.

I'd say it's Kobe vs. Raja Bell because these guys are great players and they hate each other.
