line. The Lakers are a franchise where, just like with the
Yankees in baseball, almost every single team could be considered a rival at some point. But as the previous person above me commented when trying to delete certain rivalries off the page, if some distinction isn't drawn for what should and should not constitute a rivalry page, we're going to see these rivalry sections become increasing bloated, a trend that I've been noticing lately. I don't necessarily have the answer, but wanted to put this out there for discussion.

Known for their competitive games, the rivalry plans to heat up in the upcoming seasons, as Lebron James did not resign his contract with Cleveland and decided to play for the Heat. This caused heavy backlash in Ohio toward Lebron, and hatred towards the Heat. In the most watched NBA game since the 2010 season opener, Lebron returned to Cleveland as a member of the Heat to beat the Cavaliers 118-90 amid boos and jeering from his former fans.

both markets wouldn't label a matchup between the two as a rivalry, but in all likelihood, would garner little interest from fans outside of those markets, let alone people that generally don't watch the NBA unless it's playoff time or a bona fide rivalry. Another good question to ask is: would fans in a different region watch this game/series? Perhaps one way we could go about establishing this would be to get a hold of some TV ratings.

However, all of the games were close, with six of the Jazz's eight losses to Chicago decided by five points or less, and three of Chicago's four losses were decided by five points or less as well, with one going into overtime. This rivalry has been recently reignited when two of the Jazz's free agents, their leading scorer
679:"...have not been rivals" pretty much sums up this one. The two franchises and their fans may engage in heated games that would exist beyond the simple fact their both lie in the same state and the same division, but "fans are trying to create a rivalry" seemed to push this one over the edge for disqualifying itself as a bona fide rivalry.

Just to clerify exactly what I mean, each team would have a section entitled
