Wait a minute, Upper Deck really made a card w/Kobe & Raja Bell?

I know this was years ago, but what is the meaning of this nonsense? http://www.thecoli.com/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/comeon.png

I think it's cool. They should have a dual auto of Sprewell and PJ Carlesimo....with inscription =D

Raja bell was actually a really good defender for a while and decent against Kobe if my memory serves correctly so not as horrible as it seems at first glance, lol

They always went at it. I bet they had to be separated on many occasions. YouTube it.

That's not the point. Bell clotheslined Kobe in the playoffs.

Great rivalry back in the mid 2000's!

Sorry I must be dense but it sounds like even more reason for them to be in a Vs. themed set, lol

Yea seriously.

Regardless, there have always been mini-"rivalries" that were entertaining despite the huge skill gaps that may have been there.

Here's mine. Two of my favorite players. Would be better if Raja was in a Suns or even Jazz uni though.

Even back in 2012 I went to a Jazz/Lakers game and they got into a tough battle and the crowd got into it. I think Raja knocked the ball away to about half court, Kobe got it back took a couple dribbles and I think he nailed a three haha.

They always had intense battles.
