Is Derrick Rose top 5?

[DAF86]

Lebron, Wade, Howard, Durant, Kobe, C. Paul. I don't think he is.

[Pelicans78]

I'm not confident putting Paul ahead of him. Paul's a much better PG as far as creating, not turning it over and stuff, but Rose is winning games. I think Rose is more SG than PG right now because he has to and he's a better SG than Paul.

[Venti Quattro]

No. But he is the MVP this year.

Also Paul over Rose :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao

[daspurs]

Fuck rose

[Killakobe81]

No. But he is the MVP this year.

Also Paul over Rose :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao

This ...paul has climbed back near the top of PG rankings but he is not better than Rose ...he is a better "pure PG" but not a better player.

[DAF86]

I don't know what's so funny? Paul is the better ball handler, passer, shooter (among other things). Rose is having a great season and IMO is the MVP but I don't think it is so funny to say that Paul is better than him, it's definitely debatable.

Well I dont think he is wayyy better so I agree it's not THAT funny ...but Rose is better.

Paul over Rose?

OP is a dumbass

[024]

swap paul with rose on the bulls and the bulls will be better. rose is overrated.

[redzero]

Good thing these playoffs aren't the only reference on who the better player is, because Rose is stinking up the joint.

[rayjayjohnson]

Bullshit from an idiot.

You seriously don't think the hornets would be better with rose instead of he most inconsistent PG in the league? And how in hell would the bulls be better without their major scorer?

[Killakobe81]

Disagree. No way Bulls could win with Paul being passive as he is at times. Rose carries their whole offense.

Game one Paul vs. Lakers yes if he played like that consistently Bulls would win and Paul would be better than Rose ...

[rayjayjohnson]

Chris Paul turns it on for one game and people are on his nuts. Rose has an epic season and gets no respect

Paul in game one played better than Rose ever played. Paul is shooting almost 60% as a point guard, and Rose is shooting in the low 30's. The Bulls would still be in control if they switched teams.

[rayjayjohnson]

One game sample size vs 82 games.

Idiot

Give Rose Derek Fisher at 36 plus years as his primary defender and Rose would shoot better as well ...

[4>0rings]

FT attempts included? Hell no

Rose isn't shit without FT attempts to buff his ppg.

[redzero]

Several Lakers guarded Paul so far, and he is still shooting at a Center-like percentage. Rose has no excuse for shooting 30%.

[DMC]

FT attempts don't buff your stats. FT's made do. You have to get fouled to get to the line. I prefer a guy who consistently gets to the line and knocks them down over someone who's a constant outside shooter. Why? You get a bonus: 2 points and the defender gets a foul on him. A couple of those early gets him on the bench and that has cost many teams a win when the coach thinks a foul is a death sentence. I am certain that Billups getting benched for an extended period during the 2005 Finals game 7 cost them the game.

[4>0rings]

No you don't.

Same thing can be said about D-Whistle. At least Rose isn't an STD-infested douche.

Stern is that you? This is exactly how the NBA manufactures superstars like D-Whistle. :lol

[DJ Mbenga]

bad timing for the thread. he wasnt given his ft's so it was up to korver to close out and he didnt get it done

[Reck]

No he's not even top 10 at this point in his career.

[DAF86]

Bad timing? Everybody is on DR's dick right now.

After making you my bitch over this same subject over and over you continue this stupidity? Wade > Kobe just accept it like he has...

Get by Boston, then talk shit. Last I checked, Kobe did. LeHype and D-Whistle couldn't do it by themselves so they decided to team up to have a chance. :lol

[Pelicans78]

Epic season my ass. He's had a strong season, but Paul's 2007-2008 season was way better than what Rose is doing this season. Also, look the playoffs. Paul was putting up monster numbers against better competition while Rose is hit and miss against a bad Pacers team. Rose is having a strong season, but epic is too much.

[Pelicans78]

Give Rose Derek Fisher at 36 plus years as his primary defender and Rose would shoot better as well ...

Dumb argument. Fisher is hardly guarding Paul.

[Pelicans78]

Plus, Rose has a better supporting cast this season compared to Paul. Every position is where the Bulls have an advantage. The bench too.

[Ghazi]

get on AIM dawg :cry :cry :cry

Beat the Heat then talk shit, last I check Lakers are 0-2 against them. See how that works? You're still my bitch and you're lucky I'm in a good mood.

LeHype's teams have beaten Kobe's Lakers for a while now - in the regular season. What has that really garnered him? 2 MVPs, gaudy stats out the ying yang, playoff failures, and NO RINGS. Try again.

Kobe: 5
LeHype and Wade: 1

How's that thought for your mood? :lol

Doesn't change the fact. Heat are still 2-0 against the Lakers and both Wade and Lebron are better than Kobe...

Fuck em ace , these niggas scared of wade and lebron , they scared of what's to become when they face them in the finals .

[Ice009]

This ...paul has climbed back near the top of PG rankings but he is not better than Rose ...he is a better "pure PG" but not a better player.

Derek Rose is the MVP, but if Chris Paul is back in form and gotten over his injuries then he's the best PG. Doesn't mean he's a better player though, but Paul in form and at his best is the best PG IMO.

[Ace]

Fuck em ace , these niggas scared of wade and lebron , they scared of what's to become when they face them in the finals .

Convincing themselves Boston still has Perkins is what helps them sleep at night. Soon there will be no denying faith.
