This battle is really going to be one for the ages!
ESPN – But with Carmelo, there was no waiting. He actually struck first, part of a strong Denver start that forced Bryant to be at his best.
“It was definitely a battle,” Denver’s Chris Andersen said. “Those two guys are the most extreme competitors.
“It was fun to watch, but it was even better to be out there, being a part of it.”
Maybe Kobe and Carmelo are capable of being better against each other because this really isn’t a head-to-head competition. Kobe is trying to throw a dam in front of the flood of public opinion shifting toward LeBron as the game’s best player. Carmelo is just trying to be included in the discussion. (He’ll have to get past Dwyane Wade before he enters Kobe-LeBron territory.)
