Lol. Just lol D Rose. See how the interviewer lols at him when he says it too. I hate LeBron but there's not even a valid comparison here.

I know D-Rose couldn't pass his SATs, but he can't be that dumb/delusional. At no point in his career has he ever been the best player in the NBA, or even top 4.

He's just saying the words that will ingratiate him again to the Chicago fans he alienated last season.

[lefty]

Even Kobe is better than Rose

Even Kobe is better than Rose

Even with achilles?

If Rose were the best player he would have joined his team in the playoffs and destroy Ray Allen & company.

[Lincoln]

Lol RG3 returning from his LCL and partial ACL tear in 7 months while rose is still out

[D-Wade]

"Humble" D-Rose still referring to himself in the 3rd person.

[j-money24]

Lol I like D-rose but he needs to get off that pipe he's smoking

[LarryDavid]

Dude's been smoking out of Noah's pipe.

[Sean Cagney]

He is full of Chicago Bullshit here.

[TDMVPDPOY]

lol overrated mvp winner, nba only gave it to him cause they got bored giving it to lebron again

[Bill_Brasky]

D Rose is nasty. Yall are just haters.

[Vash StampedE]

The video and interviewer made it seemed like a joke but I love the confidence. I remember scoffing at Rose saying that he can be the MVP before his 2nd/3rd season even started but he backed up his words. D-Rose will be approaching the upcoming season with a newfound fire and could again stop Lebron from getting 3 straight MVPs.

This dude's a clown. Overrated since he's a one dimensional player. He scores and that's it.

[AchillesHeel]

lmfao this nigga hasn't scored a point in the NBA since April 2012 and he thinks he's the best player? How about you do shit instead of talking about being ready mentally, nigga needs to just step on the court and start playing. I liked him before the ACL. Now he's just a pussy that's collecting paychecks and I won't change my opinion until he proves me otherwise. Looks like Stephon Marbury (literally looks like him) and plays just like him, doesn't really make his teammates better and hogs the ball like Kirby.

Seriously, looks just like a bald version of D.Rose.

[Red Hawk #21]

I actually don't even care much about him saying he's the best player in the league, but to sit there and say Chicago is the best city in the world is outrageous. The same Chicago that Blacks kill other Blacks like flies? Shits like a Black Holocaust out there, and no one says shit because no one cares. Rose even recommended that people should come visit that city, he should've said people who aren't Black should come visit. Chances are if you're Black and you go "visit" Chicago you won't be making it back to wherever you're from.

Derrick Rose is a dumbass.

If you're rich, Chicago actually is pretty badass.

I'd definitely take it over Atlanta(speaking of abundant black on black violence......)

I read this, & I'm calling 6.

[Rogue]

Marbury instantly became a fan favorite in Beijing as soon as he joined the Ducks though, dude's led Beijing to multiple championships in CBA (chinese basketball league) and his team was actually dominating the league before Yi came back to lift Guangdong over the top imho.

Good point but you can go with the "If you're rich" argument for almost anywhere, even Africa.

[~O~]

If you all had any type of thinking process, you would know that he probably referred to himself as the best just to not give the reporter the satisfaction. It definitely didn't give many fans here any type of satisfaction. Everyone is so easily offended by his comments.

[Thread]

^Because Media has led them by the nose to that opinion. It's what Media does, it's their pathology. & here's how they'll proceed: Rose will begin the season and tear it up, just fucking light it afire. Then Media will jump in right away and cast down [fan] implying ignorance and deference to Rose on [fan] part, toward his plight, his talent, {they'll even scoff at "us." Oh, yeah, a huge "scoff."} They, Media will then scale the mountain top before [fan] beats them to it and cite Rose "arguably the best player in the NBA."

[D-Wade]

The best comeback since LBJ joined the Heat -- outside of 6 tbh -- happened on Rose's watch.

That wasn't a comeback, asshole. I don't know what it was:::a gd miracle, a hand down from God, just desserts, Lakaluva lifting his leg, whatever, but, you did not come back. You fought those bastards tooth & nail to lose that Finals. They just wouldn't shoulder-2-shoulder ya.

[jdiggy0424]

Love his confidence. let's hope he can back it up.

His purported rival (James) is nothing over and beyond the crest. The '13 Finals told us that. It was just hard to hear it over Media screaming otherwise.

[Killakobe81]

This. i am one of the few that support him on here, but he is delusional. He is not even the best PG right now. Funny how they all got hurt: Rose, Russ, Rondo. Parker and Paul are the two best right now. Kyrie, Wall, Conley etc. have to show more to be considered among the best.

What does a Bulls fan have to say about Derrick Rose's comments? Let's find out.

No one's gonna watch that shit brah

[Venti Quattro]

A best player HAS TO actually play basketball games.

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

ESPN shit on him saying "he will never be anything close to LeBron" - I hate ESPN.

i agree with them tbh

No PG has left a big impact on the league since Magic and I don't see Rose as the next great.

Lebron could be classed as a PG. averages 7 assists for his career and had a 8.6 apg season when he actually played the PG position.

Of course, if by PG you mean a 6'2 guy that's 180 pounds, I don't think anyone will ever have that kind of impact on the league. Magic was 6'8 as well.

exactly my point, with his physique I just can't see him being anywhere as good as Magic / LeBron and making such an impact on their team which he is supposedly capable by his own words.

[Rogue]

If I remember correct he was listed as a PG in nba live 05, then he gradually evolved into a SG/SF with the ability to play PF temporarily
