After the Kings-Warriors game last night, I started to think about how awesome it’s been for the Kings to have a legitimate rivalry for the first time since the Shaq/Kobe Lakers. It had me wondering what do NBA fans view as the 5 biggest current rivalries. Obviously there is the timeless Lakers-Celtics but what others are there?

Your life is EVERYTHING! You serve ALL PURPOSE! You should treat yourself NOW! And give yourself, a piece of that oxygen, in the ozone layer, that's covered up so then you can breathe in this blue trapped bubble! 'Cause you know I'm here for it! To worship YOU! Love YOURSELF! I mean that with a hundred percent! With a thousand percent!

[–] Ellswearth@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

Celtics-Sixers/Nationals is a timeless rivalry. Maybe the most enduring in NBA history. More so than Celtics-Lakers IMO.

CP3 vs Scott Foster

In hindsight it’s absolutely fucking bonkers that Scott Foster is a household name. Referees should not be in the spotlight.

Only Ref that deserves a name is Wes Mccaully. The rest should go by numbers 24/7
