Re: Derrick Rose:"Why can't i be MVP?"
As someone who loves watching Rose play, this MVP stuff is crazy talk. Rose would literally be the most undeserving and worst player to win the MVP if he got it this season (yes, including Nash).

Read the ESPN story linked to in the OP. The reason should be obvious. Talking about oneself as a potential MVP/best player in the league is cocky.

I don't see this supposed cockiness either. He was asked a question and gave a reasonable answer.
I sure as hell wouldn't like seeing him say, "Nah, I can't be the MVP; I'm not good enough."

From the article:
Chicago Bulls point guard Derrick Rose was asked Monday about what level his game can reach this season, and the normally reserved 21-year-old raised some eyebrows by answering with his own questions
"It's high," Rose said of self-confidence. "The way I look at it within myself, why not? Why can't I be the MVP of the league," he asked. "Why can't I be the best player in the league? I don't see why [not]. Why can't I do that?

So why do you want me to repeat the obvious? Saying he can be the MVP is cocky. It doesn't make him a jerk, every star player in the league is cocky, but it's a cocky thing to say.

good scorer
Re: Derrick Rose:"Why can't i be MVP?"
Got it. Guys aren't allowed to ask why they can't do anything otherwise that's cocky. It's good thing humanity has been cocky. There's a MAJOR difference between cocky and self-confident.

No, there's a subjective difference, the term "overly." "Cocky" is defined as being "overly self-confident." As Rose is not on the level of LeBron James, D-Wade, Dwight Howard, etc. when he says he could be the NBA's best player, that is "cocky."

He is simply saying he feels he has the potential to become the best.

Well I'll be damned if anyone thinks they can be the best through all their hard work.
With that said, I'll agree to disagree. No use in debating such a meaningless topic essentially about semantics.

I guess he was supposed to "I can't be MVP, or one the best in the league or the best in the league, so I'll say my potential is second tier"
