  1. Let me guess… They're rivalries because some players are black and others are white on both teams, right Kendrick..?

  2. If you have to keep defending why “this isn’t a rivalry”….then you are probably not doing a good job convincing the public that it isnt😂😂😂. Every sport, at every level has rivalries that don’t have championships. In college there are tons of them. The definition shouldn’t change just because it’s professional sports—you are making up ur own meaning of the word rivalry😂😂

  3. Rivalry is the act of competing. It's only a competition if they both have a chance at winning WHEN IT MATTERS. Memphis gotta show they can beat GSW. 100% vs 100%

  4. Not a rivalry yet, just two teams hating each other…Shaq explained it the best.

  5. Did Perk ever apologize for what he said about the MVP voting being racially-motivated? I know he’s part of the media, but people have to know it’s okay to admit you were wrong.

  6. The only reason the Memphis Grizzlies is so hyped besides ja is bc this the best team they have had since they was in Vancouver I said what I said

  7. I'm so glad Brian has chilled out he used to be all business but now he just seems like a chill guy to be around

  8. Perkins doesn't even know what day it is and he probably thinks Curry and Dillon are white…

  9. Lakers vs Celtics ( magic vs bird) is a rivalry. Lakers vs Spurs during shaq era is a rivalry.
    Memphis vs Warriors is just green vs brooks, Memphis has zero accolades

  10. Why is Kendrick on here after making racist remarks?? If JJ had of done that he’d be gone 🤷‍♂️

  11. No Rivalry at all !!! what u talkin about Perk ????………………4 champs vs none thats simple ,finish dabate !!!!

  12. I would say it's kinder a rivalry but it's noway near the Cavs v Warriors rivalry. Celtics v Lakers in the 80s. Knicks v Miami in the 90s. Or Spurs v Miami in the 2010s. Those were rivalries.

  13. I like it cause the league was getting soft. So, what if they dont like each other, its basketball. I grew up watching the Heat vs Knicks rivalry, where zo and Larry Johnson had a boxing match on the court with Van Gundy as the ref💯👍

  14. It's a rivalry as much as Memphis is a dynasty. Unless they win something first, it's just one team talking a bunch of trash without anything to back it up, while another team is in the middle of their dynasty.

  15. Nobody wants to hear this guy speak anymore. Kendrick 'Zero Credibility' Perkins. Kendrick 'I lie for numbers' Perkins. Kendrick 'Sellout Central' Perkins. This guy is a laughing stock, can't make picks for sh*t, embarrassment to even see on TV let alone listen too. Get rid of this clown so we can come back to watching the show again.

  16. Oh yes I look forward to watching Dillion brooks said no one ever. Now ja bane jjj vs curry klay green now we talking

  17. Perkins and Draymond are the ones who dislike each other. They constantly take positions that oppose each other. It’s direct, yet subliminal at the same time.

  18. As the ref walks over to restrain his failed attempts at classic canine dominance display of 1) stare down and 2) higher head placement, the shorter and obviously less intelligent Dillon Brooks backs off and barks, "my dog"… to Draymond Green.

    Competition ≠ Rivalry, unless skillsets evenly matched and tested over long periods of time

    Think about it.

  19. They're not really the same player. Draymond is much more of a playmaker than Dillon and much better defender and doesn't have to rely purely on mental tactics.

  20. Why does the show still have this clown Kendrick Perkins on there.. especially after the comments he made the other day eluding to votes based on race.. If it was a white dude making those comments , would Stephen A allow him back on the show..?? ITN

  21. The Grizzlies get under Curry Dray Klay Poole Iggy and Kerr skin ALL THE TIME … they moved their game to the Christmas game … Bruh if that ain't a rivalry nothing is … Patriots Colts was a rivalry even BEFORE Manning beat em so this definition that rings matter is BS … The Grizzlies have beaten the Warriors in games and they eliminated em from playoff contention before as Windy said

    This game and Dillon Brooks and Draymond were trending all game on Twitter … Gtfoh with it's not a rivalry

  22. Yeah they are rival they both drop each other on play in and playoffs. And both want to compete for championship this year.

  23. Can't believe ESPN still emplpyed this race sits n!gr here. Getting away with stupid takes just because he's 👉🏿🙊👈🏿.
