Putting multiple stars together is often the key to success in the NBA.<\/p>\n
That said, with so much time spent together, such high stakes work, and such big personalities, even the most cordial professional NBA relationship can fall apart.<\/p>\n
Despite a very up and down relationship, Shaquille O\u2019Neal and Kobe Bryant won three titles in four trips between 2000 and 2004.<\/p>\n
Injuries, COVID vaccine mandates, and countless other challenges plagued the Nets, however.<\/p>\n
Other cities, like Dallas, couldn\u2019t guarantee the date \u2013 either the Dallas Mavericks or Dallas Stars could be competing for a championship in 2016, and the American Airlines Arena might be occupied.<\/p>\n
The San Antonio Spurs might have landed the final blow, but the Heatles had been wavering for months.<\/p>\n
How quickly things seemingly turned in the summer of 2014, though, deserves special recognition.<\/p>\n
Few NBA players have initiated a break up with as big a middle finger as Ray Allen.<\/p>\n
Allen felt neglected by the team during the 2012 season, and after five season in Boston decided enough was enough.<\/p>\n
It took years, but some members of the Celtics finally let tensions cool a little bit.<\/p>\n
Kevin Garnett, at the time of this writing, appears a little less enthusiastic about mending things with his old teammate.<\/p>\n
During the 1965 All-Star weekend, Wilt Chamberlain was traded from the San Francisco Warriors to the Philadelphia 76ers.<\/p>\n
I guess most fans are for the little man and the underdog, and Wilt is neither.<\/p>\n
