Shaq makes Suns Lakers best rivialry in NBA?baseball

yea suns lakers already had a rivalry before the shaq and gasol trades. now bringing shaq there just stirs up the whole kobe shaq thing all over again, along with the current suns lakers rivalry.

Shaq makes Suns Lakers best rivialry in NBA?nba playoff schedule ,nba teams

Yeah, Shaq loves to pick his spots. That's going to backfire on him. Then he'll dump the Suns for another contender.
no, because shaq is very limited and hurt and probably won't do too much, and the suns are about nash, amare, barbosa and co. its just an interesting side note. it will be heavily hyped by the media and fans like you though.
the rivialry has been good of the past 3 years.

and now since shaq is there it just put more fire to flame.

Shaq the guy that him and kobe won 3 straight championships is now in there rival team.

wow you cant predict this stuff.
No I think the Suns Vs. Spurs is the best because Shaq is going to be out of the league in 2 years.
I totally agree. :)

Woot woot GO SUNS!
makes the rivalry better. it was already bad during the last 2 playoffs and now you add shaq to the mix.
I disagree... It seems as if everyone that has posted so far is from the west coast!

I think right now, they hype that has surround the first 2 games between the Celtics %26amp; Pistons has eclipsed that of the teams mentioned.

Or maybe just because i am a east coast dude lol
NOPEEE suns just suck now especially after shaq i mean hes old lazy and stupid trade there going to regret it when they start losing a bunch of games and when they loose in the first round of the playoffs if they even get there
Absolutely.

The Lakers-Suns rivalry was already being heated up like a bottle of hot sauce in a sauna this season with the emergence of Andrew Bynum as the 5th barer of the Laker Center Torch.

Especially when the first two meetings resulted in a Laker blowout, and a Laker handling of the Suns. Laker fans were ecstatic and Suns fans were feeling the pressure.

Then when Shaq was traded from Miami to Phx, thats when this rivalry became hotter and bigger than an explosion of a solar system.

Shaq was the 4th barer of the Laker Center torch, he then left the team and won a chmpnshp somewhere else. By now he is very old but still got something in him or so we all speculate, so he was traded to that very team that has a bottle of hot sauce in a sauna HOT rivalry with the team he had his hall of fame years with.

Its Bynum vs. Shaq, Kobe vs. Shaq, Lakers vs. Shaq, and Lakers vs. Suns.

Bynum vs Shaq is like I said 4th barer vs. 5th barer, The 5th barer (Andrew) is being trained by the Lakers 3rd barer of the Laker center torch (kareem) to go up against the aging 4th barer. Bynum is as young and as many good years ahead of him as can be at age 20, and Shaq is as old and as good years behind him as can be at age 36 (come playoff time). But yet there is a rivalry between a 36 yr old hall of fame center and a 20 yr old center who has very very very good years to come. They are at the same point in their careers skill wise, they meet in the middle if you look at their stats, except Bynum is on his way WAY WAY up and Shaq is on his wa WAY WAY down. This will be very dramatic and very much like a bit time movie trilogy in its story line.

Kobe vs. Shaq will be now that kobe is in his prime, and the Lakers are now his team, he can show not just the world or the NBA, but Shaq personally in the playoffs that he does not need him that he is so good he can and will win.

Lakers vs. Shaq will be inclusive of the fans because when he left as we all know he was won a chmpnship and wen to the eastern conference finals in consecutive years. At first it looked like a bad trade, but now with the predicament of the Lakers and the predicament of the Heat the Lakers got the best part of the trade. But now that Shaq has bailed on that team and went to their fiercest rivals, it is go time for the Lakers to show up Shaquille O' Neal.

and this whole thing is encompassed in

LAKERS-SUNS
KOBE vs. SHAQ INTERESTING, I like the mavs-suns though
To me I still think the Spurs vs Suns rivalry is the best in the NBA. But the Lakers vs Suns rivalry is the 2nd best.
I'm really looking forward to seeing the Lakers and Suns meet in the playoffs.

That would be the playoff series with the highest TV ratings for sure. There's just so many small storylines for the NBA to promote.

Shaq vs Kobe. Shaq vs Bynum. Shaq vs Gasol.

Of course, it's going to be guys like Nash, Odom, and Stoudemire that's going to decide who wins the matchup.
Agree, and I thought it was heated before the trade...
Nope, even though im a young laker fan at 21, Im no bandwagon fan that for sure. **** i grew up in the dark ages for the lakers aka the early 90's. I remember growing up watching Nick van Exel barely getting us into the playoffs then always losing lol. it kinda sucks that i missed the 80's. lakers dynasty. But anyways the one thing my parents have tought me is that if i ever cheared for the Celtics they would dis own me lol. So Lakers vs. the celtics have to be the biggest rivarly. Not to mention at this point the lakers are at top in the west and celtics are at top in the east so that rivalry is back. But lakers vs phoenix is going to be interesting.
