John Wall relishing Derrick Rose, Kyrie Irving rivalry

Washington Wizards point guard John Wall has insisted that there will always be a rivalry between him, Derrick Rose and Kyrie Irving.

The three point guards are all former number one Draft picks and they all ply their trade in the Eastern Conference, with the Wizards, Chicago Bulls and Cleveland Cavaliers expected to compete in the playoffs this year.

"I think between me, [Irving] and Derrick, we're always going to be rivals, in my opinion," Wall told ESPN.

"Number one picks, all in the Eastern Conference, I think it's going to be a battle for a long time, I mean as long as everybody is healthy and playing. That's what everybody is going to want to see."

Rose was selected with the first overall pick in 2008, with Wall following in 2010 and Irving in 2011.
