I don’t think any NBA players “hate” each other anymore, or at least not like they used to. Even when Draymond Green spinning-back-fisted Jusuf Nurkic, the NBA (including Nurkic) world sympathy-bombed him by saying he simply needed to get help. Gone are the days of Bill Laimbeer clotheslines or Danny Ainge oh-I-totally-didn’t-mean-to-trip-you. It’s a buddy buddy league, for the most part.
But there are a few player rivalries left, and two of them suspiciously include Al Horford. His tussles with Joel Embiid are well documented, but people may forget his one true nemesis; the man who has actually won a ring, and produced some of the most individually destructive performances against Boston this century: Giannis Antetokounmpo.
