i think it has to do with the playoffs and the division structure. Rivalries are built by playing the same group over and over with stakes. Since half the league makes the playoffs anyway winning your division is not as important. And the schedule doesn't stack divisional games anyway for a host of reasons. Now this is the same in hockey, but hockey is an older sport and only had 6 teams for a while—so those rivalries, like Celtics/Lakers, were established real early. Differently, baseball and football really reward division winners and so much of the season (50% in football, and seemingly every other series in MLB) is spent playing inter-divisionally.
