If there are two teams in the NBA that don’t like each other, it’s the Los Angeles Lakers and Memphis Grizzlies. Over the past two seasons, whenever these two teams meet, there is always some trash talk; This night was no different.

In the second quarter of tonight’s game between the Grizzlies and Lakers, LeBron James took a shot over Ja Morant and quickly let him know he was too small. It has now received over 70,000 views and 2,000 likes in about 20 minutes.

Last season, when the two teams faced each other in the in-season tournament, they experienced heated moments.

All the bad blood between the Lakers and Grizzlies stems from the 2022-23 NBA season. Many times throughout the season both sides mocked each other and exchanged trash talk after matches; much of this was facilitated by Dillon Brooks. All of this factored into the Grizzlies’ first-round playoff series, where they lost in six games after several key injuries.

Rather, rivalries like these are what make sports great. The two teams don’t have to like each other, and it only fuels them more when they don’t. The Memphis Grizzlies needed to enter this season with a chip on their shoulders, and we hope moments like this will fuel the fire even further.
