Two of the best players in the league are without a question LeBron James and Kevin Durant, two of the most talented stars the game has seen in the last decade, but they haven't faced each other in the past five years, now is the time to change that.

Injuries have prevented the rivalry to have a new edition, but with the Lakers and Phoenix Suns playing against each other in the purple and gold at the home season opener, there are slim chances for injuries to stop the face-off of two of the biggest NBA stars.

Hall of Famer Kevin Garnett can't wait to see the game, but he wants them to have a different role than the one they usually have with their teams.

“LeBron and KD, it's time for them to be spot up,” Garnett passionately said as his former Boston Celtics teammate Paul Pierce sat beside him, befuddled by his fellow NBA champion's admonition. “We gave the ball to them for ages… Can they play off the ball once? Can they go in the corner and now someone makes a play for them.”

The reason Kevin Garnett wants LeBron and KD to take a step on the side

Kevin Garnett was arguing that Devin Booker should be the main playmaker in Phoenix and he should have the ball in his hands when the game is on the line over Durant. He went on to suggest that LeBron James and Kevin Durant should now give the reins to the younger talent to carry the load on offense while the Hall of Famers stand in the corners to spot up.
