Even when we almost never will play them in the playoffs?

Who do you think we play more often,  or for greater prize?

Exactly - ThirstyBoots18!

The Los Angeles Lakers vs The Boston Celtics are perhaps the most storied rivalry in ALL of sports - much less basketball.

MIA-BOS has been only over the last 4-5 yrs.

LA-BOS? Since the 50s....

IMHO - The Los Angeles Lakers and The Boston Celtics are the GREATEST RIVALRY in ALL of Sports....

17 v. 16 is all you need to know. 

Lakers by a mile.  I don't consider any other team a legit rivalry.

Can't STAND this one...

I remember vividly feeling nauseous after seeing THAT...of all the ways to beat BOS..Magic used The Hook..

The Los Angeles Lakers will ALWAYS reserve a special place in my heart, lol..

I'm not a fan on the Heat right now but really I don't give two thoughts about them. We've not been going at it long enough for me to really care about them. And they only have 2 banners.
I'd actually say I still think of the 76ers or Pistons as more of a true rival than the Heat. Even if those teams are down right now.

But the Lakers? The Lakers are our true rivals. I hate everything about them.

No need to ask a Celtics fan who their rivals are, obviously the freaking New York Yankees.

Celtics-Lakers is one of the biggest rivalries in all of sports.  No other team on this list even belongs in the conversation.

Lakers

Heat

Knicks

Pretty much sums it up for me.  I think the Sixers have dropped to 4th for now.  Over our history I'd say they are number 2.  We had some great battles in the 80's and before that the 60's. 

The Lakers will always be public enemy number one....the other slots change over the course of time.  In the 80's it was LA and then the Sixers.

The Heat are easy to hate for the obvious reasons (dirty Wade, Egomaniacal LeBron, and the Allen defection...but they are no way important enough to be considered true rivals.   Momentary roadblocks, maybe.

Remember that clutch deflection by House, steal by Pierce, and dagger three by ___? Biggest shot!! 'twas huge... Down 2, under 1.5 seconds, and not your ball. Greatest shot that wiki to in the books.....!

Who cares about the Knicks? The most overrated NBA franchise in the history of the game.
The Knicks would need to win rings for me to even notice them.

Boston/NY could have a chess match and it would be a big deal.

I understand the baseball part.Because they own Boston in that sport.  But in Basketball the Knicks aren't even in the picture. The Knicks are a joke.

To be a real rivalry there must be more of an intertwined history, to my mind.  Otherwise, you can say that every  opposing team is a rivalry.

I can agree with that. And I really don't think we have a true rival right now. But if I must pick one then it's LA.

Should be a no brainer. In the East, and currently Miami. Overall, Lakers.

how anyone answers this with anything other than the Lakers is beyond me.  Can't even believe someone had to ask.

Celtics/Lakers goes back to the early days of the league.  Everyone else is just a temporary blip on the radar.

1) LA Lakers, will always be
2) Miami Heat, but it's just the last 3 years or since LBJ joined the Heat
3) NY Knicks, now at the moment and some history as well
4) Philladelphia 76'ers, a lot of history
