The Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers. The Oklahoma City Thunder and Dallas Mavericks. The Chicago Bulls and Detroit Pistons. These three are some great and historic rivalries, but it's time for them to move aside. Two organizations, deep in a rebuild, could now see a young and budding rivalry between the two that could spark animosity between their fan bases. Enter the Washington Wizards and Charlotte Hornets.
This was initially perceived as a joke, but it has now become serious. The NBA world is taking sides and taking action. It has even reached the point where other Eastern Conference teams are discussing it on social media.
