Suns vs mavs is a rivalry, two teams in there primes.
I actually dig that Dillon Brooks is embracing his role as a heel. He wants to be the most hated NBA player since Bill Laimbeer.
If Klay is saying nobody will remember Dillon Brooks in 10 years, he might be right but why say that? If Dillon is so beneath him, you really do not need to waste your time and breath on him.
Klay is acting like KD when KD is on social media replying to trolls so beneath him. Focus on your team, Klay. Dillon Brooks living in Klay's head rent-free 24/7.
PERKINS? Talking about klays 4 rings , he and his teammates act like a dynasty with 1 ring lmao
This is why ESPN is going down🤡
How is this not a rivalry? Lmao. Grizzlies beat the Warriors in the play-in 2 years ago, last year the Warriors beat us in the second round. This year we’ve slip the series, with the home team winning each game. How is this not a rivalry? 💀
It’s not Bulls-Pistons Level Rivalry in todays game yeah it’s a rivalry
Suns vs Mavs is better
It's for sure a rivalry…what happened to being competitive and a little friendly trash talk? People so soft these days…man
IF KNICKS-PACERS .. KNICKS-HEAT WAS A RIVALRY IN THE 90S .. IF 👑LAKERNATION-KINGS .. SPURS-SUNS WAS A RIVALRY IN THE 2000S .. GRIZZLIES-WARRIORS IS A RIVALRY ..
Talking head the only ones calling this a rivalry. 😂
Perk keep talking about the warriors like this Man watch when April get here
They not rivals the grizzlies aint doin nun
this isnt a rivalry
Somebody explain what a rivalry is cuz u don’t need championships to be a rivalry. Many college teams have never won a championship but those college teams still have rivalries.
It ain’t much of a rivalry if it’s pretty one sided… one side may really hate the other but that don’t make it a rivalry
Why Brooks do the camera man like that? 😂😭
Omg that lady in black needs to stand up and show off that juicy a55
*only
Dillon Brooks might be the greatest Villain in the NBA today. All of this has happened just this season:
🔸 Ongoing beef with the Warriors (spanning back to last season after he pushed GP2 in the air, breaking his wrist)
🔸Got into it courtside with Shannon Sharpe
🔸Ejected after hitting Donovan Mitchell in the groin
🔸Booed during a home game to which he responded “I get booed everywhere”
🔸Blew kisses to an injured Luka and said he’s avoiding the matchup
🔸Said Carmelo and Dwight are not real vets
🔸Pushed over a cameraman and injured him
🤣 what rivalry!?!? Lakers/Celtics, Bulls/Knicks, Bulls/Pistons those were RIVALRIES. Grizz needs to keep their head straight and play the game…rivalries are developed in the playoff games/series that MATTER
Jesus…. Chiney looks incredible. She also is 100% wrong it’s a rivalry
We need Mavs vs Suns & Grizzlies vs Warriors playoff series this year
In my opinion it's not a rivalry unless they beat each other in the playoffs. The warriors have never lost a series to the grizzlies
rivalry because brooks is a dirty player, never forget
Why is these chicks even on esp smh they are not it
I would replace rivalry with animosity.
It's not even about the rings at this point. If gunners are going for your throat and you respond back with that noise under your skin, y'all rivals. Lol.
Kings v Lakers were a pretty heated rivalry back during the early 2000's, everyone acknowledged it, yet the kings never got rings. Still considered a rivalry to this day.
If this is a rivalry then Memphis is Dynasty. The warriors are rivals with Dillon Brooks I guess🤷🏾♂️. They don’t like each other but that doesn’t make you rivals. You need to be meeting and beating each other in the playoffs year after year to make it a rivalry. That’s not this.
Let’s revisit this if Memphis actually wins something.
embiid the most dominant center since shaq? wth! he forgot about dwight howard(better than embiid) smh
I don't call this a rivalry I call it mouth drama when Memphis can get out the 2nd round then maybe you can talk until then to many good teams in the west and next year even will be better so hush Dillon with all that mouth.
Was the Chicago Bulls (Jordan era) vs Detroit Pistons a rivalry? Of course it was!
Now how many championships did the Pistons win against the Bulls? 🙅🏽
What rivalry
Why is this racist still on the network?
The Dubs & the whole league hate Brooks cause he's a dirty player.
Come on now, there aint no rivalry. All the grizzlies have done and keep doing is talk, when the Warriors have win four chips… I'd waut to get to the conference finals at least before I would start talking.
If Memphis and Golden State end up matching up in playoffs, both teams have a chance to win as long as the NBA cancels all of the road games.
The fact that Grizzlies living in the Warriors' head rent free is proof it's a rivalry
NBA will setup a memphis and gsw round 1 playoffs 👀
The grizzlies rings are coming it's inevitable.
I would agree it is a rivalry but only because the definition of the term these days has been downgraded to such a laughable low, suprised these high payed analysts do not call it like it is. Nowadays NBA players are just playing barbie and therefore this is called a rivalry. I am actually surprised that we have such a thing in this day and age where everybody is just happy go lucky pretending to be friends. It is just pathetic/fake/hypocritical, fill in other words you find more suitable. Call it like it is, little "girls" playing barbie, so anyone tip toeing over the line should be congradulated for not joining in on the status qou of playing barbie. And before you attack me for being sexist or whatever, I did Karate growing up, taking part in tournaments. Honestly the women taking part, scared me more than the men, that I had to go up against.
They making Dillon brooks the villain look like a hero by him starting a rivalry/story
