When it comes to true rivals that the Phoenix Suns have in the NBA, there is really only one. The Los Angeles Lakers. While the other team in Hollywood in the Clippers brought back Chris Paul - which seemed to bum out Devin Booker - and added Bradley Beal after he'd been bought out by Phoenix, it is the Lakers who will always the most hated opposition.

There's too much shared history there, and it is one that the purple and gold have come out on top of countless times. In fact it is fair to wonder if this is actually a rivalry at all, given the Suns have never won a championship and haven't stopped the Lakers from achieving that goal nearly enough times throughout their history.
