We all know the real deal Suddenrapz, there are no NBA rivalries anymore. Not real ones. The biggest "rivalry" nowadays is the Spurs/Mavs, and it's really nothing because the league doesn't allow it to become a big rivalry. Why? You can't get physical, or it's a technical. You can't trash talk, or it's a technical. You can't show much emotion, or it's a technical.
Face it, the quote on quote "rivalries" today are little person vs. person media battles (ala Kobe/Bell).
