Jalen Rose is right. How can you call it a rivalry when Kyrie and Lebron are making out after the game is over?
Give me this
over this
Rivalries go thru ebbs and flows - Celtics-Lakers & Celtics-Sixers are the great rivalries in the NBA. There are a few others, but they don't rank with these two. Part of our problem in this country these days, no respect for history.
These are the same talking heads who now refer to the Celtics as the
second most storied franchise in league history. I still laugh at all these NBA players who took their beatings at the hands of the Celtics and still make cutting remarks towards us, years later. Pat Riley, Phil Jackson, Kurt Rambis, Kareem, Wilt, Jalen Rose, Chauncey Billups, etc. - all still bitter.
Having said that, I 100% agree with Gpap on the post-game love-in. I cannot stand all the hugging after every NBA game and Irving and James with their long hug and then the ridiculous covering of mouths turned my stomach - such self-importance.
