Kurtenbach: LeBron to the Lakers gives the Warriors the true rival they — and the NBA — need

The Warriors’ top rival just moved to the Golden State and, in turn, has reignited a rivalry that is best known for being one-sided over the years.

Yes, LeBron James is now a member of the Los Angeles Lakers, and, as such, we’re likely to get some competitive, meaningful basketball between the Warriors and Lakers for the first time since… when? 1991?

This is going to be fun, in no small part because this has been a long time coming.

No matter what the record books and some people down south might say, the Warriors were Lakers were absolutely, positively rivals before Sunday’s news broke.
