Lakers vs Grizzlies: A Renewed Rivalry on the Court
The rivalry between the Los Angeles Lakers and Memphis Grizzlies continues to heat up as they prepare for their second matchup of the season. The tension, which dates back to a 2022 game and was fueled by a 2023 playoff series, was evident in their recent game where Ja Morant and LeBron James exchanged 'too small' celebrations. Desmond Bane also took a jab at James, while Morant candidly expressed his dislike for the Lakers, citing past playoff eliminations. Despite the animosity, James downplayed the rivalry, attributing it to competitive spirit.
