3. 211. #. 77. Final

The Los Angeles Clippers are, clearly, one of the most hated teams in the NBA. Their latest rivalry to make this list is with the Memphis Grizzlies, who always seem to have something extra in store for Blake Griffin.

More times than not, Griffin and Grizzlies power forward Zach Randolph get tangled up and ready to fight. It’s happened so often that there’s a compilation of their battles on YouTube.

Seriously, there’s a compilation video for two players who haven’t even been feuding that long.

Other players have since gotten involved:

That’s good, hard basketball. Unfortunately, it’s gotten to the point where referees have to overreact.

Let them play. Or fight. Fine, don’t let them fight.

Whether the referees are overreacting or not, the Clippers and Grizzlies always seem to bring the most physical side out of one another. There are hard fouls, loose MMA interpretations and, of course, ejections.

Just another day in the Clippers versus Grizzlies rivalry.
