NBA Stars That HATE Each Other
In the NBA, some rivalries extend far beyond the court, fueled by personal grudges and intense competition. These players not only compete—they harbor lasting animosities that have shaped their careers.
James Harden vs. Giannis Antetokounmpo
The rivalry between Harden and Giannis began in the 2018-2019 season, culminating when Giannis won the MVP award, which Harden believed he deserved. The tension escalated during the 2020 All-Star draft when Giannis chose Kemba Walker over Harden, citing Walker’s passing ability, a jab at Harden’s scoring-focused style. Harden responded, belittling Giannis' reliance on size and strength. Their on-court encounters, like the March 2020 Bucks-Rockets game, were filled with personal animosity. While both players claim they hold no grudges, their rivalry remains palpable.
Joel Embiid vs. Russell Westbrook
Embiid and Westbrook’s feud began after a brutal 2017 game, with the two exchanging harsh words and gestures. Their rivalry reached a boiling point in 2018 when Embiid dunked on Westbrook and taunted him. A series of fouls and insults followed, including Embiid mocking Westbrook on social media. Their clashes, both on and off the court, have led coaches to intervene and refocus the players on the game. Despite Embiid’s constant online jabs, Westbrook rarely engages in the same way.
Kevin Durant vs. Dwight Howard
Durant and Howard’s rivalry stems from differing personalities and egos, with Durant criticizing Howard’s leadership abilities. Their feud ignited in 2013, with verbal spats and subtle digs. Durant criticized Howard's "weak" move to the Lakers, while Howard criticized Durant's move to the Warriors. Despite their differing career trajectories, the animosity between them lingers.
LeBron James vs. Ja Morant
LeBron, the established veteran, and Morant, the fearless young star, have a rivalry defined by Morant’s desire to prove himself. Their matchups, like the 2021 game where LeBron taunted Morant with a “too small” gesture, are filled with tension. Morant’s bold comments, including his desire to dunk on LeBron, show his eagerness to challenge the king of the NBA.
These rivalries add excitement and drama to the NBA, keeping fans engaged and questioning whether these feuds will ever truly cool down.
