I don’t agree with Bron on this. He was asked about rivalries in the NBA and believes that they aren’t any. While they may not be the best rivalries, I think there are. Check out what he had to say & weigh in…
Via RealGM:
LeBron James discussed on Tuesday the status of rivalries — or lack thereof — in the NBA these days.
“What is a rivalry these days?” James said when asked if the Miami Heat hold a rivalry with the Indiana Pacers. “What’s a rivalry? A rivalry is Celtics and Lakers. They met like four out of five years. … Bulls-Pistons. Those are rivalries, man.
“We’ve played these guys two straight years in the playoffs, and guys automatically make it a rivalry. It’s not a rivalry.”
James believes no rivalries exist in the NBA anymore.
“There is no real rivalry in the NBA these days,” James said. “You don’t see the competition enough or play the competition a lot. It’s two really, really good teams that [are] striving to win a championship, but rivalries … there are no more rivalries. There isn’t. It’s the truth. No rivalries.
“Cowboys-Redskins is a rivalry. Ohio State-Michigan is a rivalry. Duke-North Carolina is a rivalry. Bears-Packers is a rivalry.”
