he gonna cry on the court

I like Durant, not gonna lie I cried when I saw that MVP speech. But this wasn't a great move and this isn't him.

They are the two most recent champs and have met in the last two Finals and they feature the 3 best players in the league. Cleveland just had a historic comeback that spoiled a 73 win season and GSW just added another top 3 player to the mix. I think that qualifies as a rivalry minus the quotation marks breh.


Exactly...these teams have played 17 times over the past 2 seasons (while being in different conferences)..split titles with narratives/"what ifs scenarios" attached to them..and barring a major injury likely will meet in June for the next couple of years..

Durant signing with the warriors kills the rivalry talk. Gs is a new team now. Imagine the lakers and the celtics meeting in the 87 finals after 84 and 85 and the celtics having jordan instead of danny ainge. Not thw same celtic team

Barring injury it still will be the GS Warriors vs the Cleveland Cavs over the next 2 seasons at least...LeBron James will still be at the forefront trying to take them out no matter who they add or who he adds....this is an added layer into the rivalry as many rivalries had changes and adjustments to the roster throughout years..if both of them figure to be the last 2 teams standing for the money (see these 2 previous years) and years to come that's a rivalry just with added layers...
