Miami Heat: The Denver Nuggets And The Making Of An NBA Rivalry
Miami Heat: With The Actions Taken Monday, Future Games Will Be Fireworks
NBA rivalries are born in the fire of playoff series or the drama of regular season chaos. It takes events like Paul George and the Pacers smashing into the Miami Heat and the Big 3 to make a rivalry in the postseason.
In the regular season, the events must be more eccentric. It takes Rajon Rondo spitting on Chris Paul to cultivate a rivalry on your run-of-the-mill NBA Wednesday.
Something like a late-game fight does just the trick. Whether you think Nikola Jockic or Markieff Morris is to blame, whether you believe one is a dirty player or that one is a cheap shot artist, none of it matters.
What truly matters is that something special was born Monday night. Something deliciously delightful was given to us, the NBA fans.
It only happens when the stars perfectly align and the madness reaches a fever pitch. An NBA rivalry has been born—gifted to us like an angel from above.
Miami plays the Denver Nuggets just one more time, on November 29th. Circle the game, clear your schedule, and get the popcorn ready.
