Could Portland Trail Blazers forward LaMarcus Aldridge find himself in the middle of the NBA's best rivalry in the future?

Aaron McGuireofGothic Ginobiliwrites in anESPN.com5-on-5 that Portland Trail Blazers All-Star forward LaMarcus Aldridge could find himself in the middle of the NBA'sbest rivalry in the future.

5. What will be the best NBA rivalry in the near future?

McGuire: Sometime in three or four years, I think the rather chippy three-way feud between LaMarcus Aldridge, Blake Griffin and Kevin Love will blossom into a full-on bloodsport rivalry. There's already bad blood from Aldridge because of his 2011 All-Star snub. Perhaps one falls off and leaves a traditional two-man rivalry, but even if that happens, this combination's a winner -- some set of these three should form one of the NBA's hottest tickets in the near future.
