Won't be surprised if this is kept since it's an in state rivalry, but in going through sports articles tagged with the notability guideline, none of the sources in the article specifically call this a rivalry, making it

WP:SYNTH as written. In addition, a source search brought up a couple hits calling this a rivalry, including Jason Terry saying it is, but you also have Dirk Nowitzki saying it's not, and much of the coverage talked about either Chandler Parsons or the fact the front offices don't seem to like each other. Deserves a discussion, I'd be in favour of deleting if this isn't really a true rivalry apart from the proximity. If kept, please remove the notability tag if I don't get around to it.
