I have to say Magic vs Bird is probably the best rivalry I have ever seen in sports since watching sports in the late 70's. Brady vs Peyton ranks way up there too but nothing tops Magic vs Bird IMO. They even dueled in college for all the marbles!
4 best Titles- 1988 Repeat Lakers/2002 3Peat Lakers/2006 Colts/2016 Cubs

Their rivalry saved the league! The league was struggling back then. This brought interest from coast to coast. White & black. Blue collar vs white collar. So yeah. Best rivalry ever brutha 3-Peat!!!

The two BEST players in the 80s as well, until Jordan matured into his final form. Unorthodox, fiery team leaders in their own different styles. So glad to have grown up seeing them perform!
