Over its expansive history, the NBA has seen, and arguably been built upon, historic rivalries: Magic vs. Bird, Barkley vs. Oakley, Chicago Bulls vs. Detroit Pistons, Phil Jackson vs. the New York Knicks, and the list goes on and on.
And, even after a suspension-shortened season, there could be a chance that Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant versus New Orleans Pelicans star Zion Williamson could be the next big rivalry. Or, at the very least, it seems like that’s how everything had been set up for.
Morant was taken second overall, right behind Zion Williamson.
