The debate rages. At least it did before Clippers practice Monday, when DeAndre Jordan was asked if the Clippers vs. the Lakers constituted a rivalry.
“I don’t think so,” Jordan said. “You guys want it to be. I would say Memphis more than the Lakers.”
One questioner pressed on.
“Stop trying to validate your point,” Jordan said, drawing laughter. “No. I went to Texas A&M and Texas wasn’t our rival. They were Oklahoma’s rival, but I hated Texas. It’s not like that’s my rivalry. If anybody, I’d say Memphis.”
Case closed? Stay tuned.
