Time

Basketball is one of the most physical sports in
modern day history. And in any given game,
personalities and ego clash with each other,
creating friction that isn’t easily forgotten.
That’s why throughout NBA history, player and
team rivalries were made. These have given us
some of the most intense games and series
people look forward to seeing each year. Here
are some of the greatest NBA rivalries of all
time.

The Boston Celtics were a team of many rivals
and rivalries. Particularly, their rivalry with the
Detroit Pistons lasted from 1985 to 1991. The
most notable moment was during Game 5 of
the 1987 Eastern Conference Finals. Punches
were thrown, and players were ejected. The
game was closed by Larry Bird who stole an
inbound pass with 5 seconds remaining that
gave them the opportunity to score the winning
shot.
The greatest team rivalry has to be the Boston
Celtics and the Los Angeles Lakers, particularly
the rivalry between their two superstars, Magic
Johnson and Larry Bird. While this rivalry began
as early as the late ‘50s, the most heated
battles between the two teams occurred when
the two star players clashed in 1984 during the
7-game NBA finals. The teams have faced each
other 12 times in the finals throughout this
historic rivalry.
