===Los Angeles Lakers===
{{Main|Lakers–Clippers rivalry}}
The rivalry between the Clippers and the [[Los Angeles Lakers]] is unique, as they were the only two NBA teams to share an arena,  [[Crypto.com Arena]], but since the Clippers' move to [[Intuit Dome]] in 2024, no NBA teams share an arena. It is also one of only two intra-city rivalries in the NBA, the other being the crosstown rivalry between the [[New York Knicks]] and [[Brooklyn Nets]].

Los Angeles fans have historically favored the Lakers.<ref name=gold>{{cite news |last=Gold |first=Jon |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2011/01/30/sports/basketball/30clippers.html |title=Clippers Becoming Relevant in Los Angeles |newspaper=The New York Times |date=January 29, 2011 |access-date=November 1, 2012 |archive-date=August 8, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170808154859/http://www.nytimes.com/2011/01/30/sports/basketball/30clippers.html |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite news|first=Joan|last=Niesen|url=http://www.foxsportswest.com/10/30/12/NBAs-Western-Conference-hard-to-figure/mobile_landing.html?blockID=812333&tagID=10774|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130110214916/http://www.foxsportswest.com/10/30/12/NBAs-Western-Conference-hard-to-figure/mobile_landing.html?blockID=812333&tagID=10774|url-status=dead|archive-date=January 10, 2013|title=NBA's Western Conference hard to figure|publisher=Foxsportswest.com|access-date=November 2, 2012}}</ref> Some contend that the term ''rivalry'' is inaccurate due to the Lakers' historical success and the Clippers' lack thereof.<ref>{{cite news|last=Kamenetzky|first=Andy|url=https://www.espn.com/blog/los-angeles/lakers/post/_/id/26321/lakers-vs-clippers-what-to-watch-2|title=Lakers vs. Clippers: What to watch – Los Angeles Lakers Blog – ESPN Los Angeles|work=ESPN.com|access-date=November 1, 2012|archive-date=January 28, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120128092842/http://espn.go.com/blog/los-angeles/lakers/post/_/id/26321/lakers-vs-clippers-what-to-watch-2|url-status=live}}</ref>
