NBA.Com: Lakers-Spurs, the NBA's best rivalry

[kingsnation]

More people tuned in to see the Lakers and Kings play back in the early part of the decade for the drama of Vlade Divac flopping, Doug Christie's face being treated like silly putty by Rick Fox's fist and Bryant's elbow, and Robert Horry polishing his big-shot reputation. But Bryant dismisses Sacramento as just another team.
"That wasn't a rivalry, the Kings never beat us," Bryant said. "The Spurs are our rivals."

Rest here..



This is a load of crap journalism. This was actually written by a writer for NBA.com...

As I recall, Christie's fist was the one that met Fox's face

And I guess the writer (Dave McMenamin )

conveniently forgot to mention Bibby's heroics, crappy refs, and a classic series that everyone is still talking about 7 years later.
