This may or may not be the greatest rivalry in the world. It may just be a tribute. But Shammgod dammit, the war of words between Bradley Beal, John Wall, Dion Waiters and the so-far-silent Kyrie Irving over who’s the better backcourt will not go away quietly, and bless these players for continuing to engage in it. From ESPN 980, via the Washington Post:
"“So you and Dion Waiters, you guys gonna be hanging out any time soon?” Scott Jackson asked. “What’s the story there?” “Shots fired,” Beal replied. “What do you think?” Jackson asked. “I’m just gonna say November 21, man,” Beal replied. “Are you guys trying to sell tickets, or what are you doing?” Jackson asked. “It’s great. It’s like WWE almost.” “We’re trying to amp it up a little bit,” Beal said. “Pay-per-view game, hopefully.” Then he turned serious. “I mean, why wouldn’t you think you’re the best back court in the league?” Beal said. “I’m pretty sure me and John feel like that, him and Kyrie [Irving] feel like that, and Klay [Thompson] and Steph [Curry] feel like that. So it doesn’t matter. I mean, I would hope you have confidence in yourself, and believe that you’re the best in the league. But that’s just me being who I am and having confidence in me and John. I’m not worried about those guys or what they’re doing over there. I’m just trying to control what we can control, and trying to get wins.”"

November 21st is the first meeting of the year between the Cavs and Wizards, naturally.
Let’s go full bore with this, NBA universe. Because at this point, this rivalry is a professional wrestling storyline, as Scott Jackson hinted. So no more impromptu interviews where Waiters and Beal talk trash off the cuff. We need a full professional wrestling promo from these two.
