Fans love the competitive nature of Kobe Bryant and LeBron James, so it was only right that Kobe himself tease LeBron for the love of the game.

It was revealed Monday in a series of special untold stories of Kobe by Bleacher Report, that the player sent a text message to James back in 2010 about his decision to move to Miami.

"Go ahead and get another MVP, if you want." the text read. "And find the city you want to live in. But we're going to win the championship. Don't worry about it."

While it isn't known if James replied, the player did go on to win two championships with the Miami Heat before heading back to Cleveland this year.
