Considering the brutal trash-talking and the extremely physical playmaking that took place between players like Dwyane Wade (Miami Heat) and Paul Pierce (Boston Celtics), this rivalry between the two cities will forever be remembered in NBA history.
The Miami Heat ended up winning 3 NBA championships from 2006 to 2012 whereas the Boston Celtics were able to win only 1 NBA ring (2008). The current rivalry between the two teams is also at an all-time high. Both Miami and Boston faced off in the Eastern Conference finals of the 2022-2023 NBA season, with the Miami Heat emerging victorious in Game 7 of the series.
