For the Love of Basketball

Sports rivalries are a time-honored tradition that make life a little more exciting, bringing an extra edge to everyday life and making friendships more interesting. Photos of rival fans also provide a great opportunity to appreciate the intensity of these intense moments.

Take this snapshot of San Antonio Spurs player Tim Duncan almost snuggling up to a Lakers fan during a pre-game photo. It’s a prime example of how perfectly timed photos can capture the devotion and passion of sports rivalries.
