D-Rose dropped 20 points

[Budadiiii]

Best PG in the league and MVP candidate, right?

He belongs in the LeBron/Durant tier, correct?

[SamuraiSWISH]

Whoever said D Rose was as good as LeBron or KD? Even in his MVP year people primarily said it was context driven.

Rose was literally not even a top 5 player when he won the MVP and he certainly isn't anywhere near that level as of right now.

Stop. He was a top 5 player.

Rose was the third best play of the season behind Dwight Howard and LeBron James when Rose won the MVP in 2011. Name two other players that had a better season.

Durant and Dirk definitely have cases..

Stastically? Are you insane?

Durant
LeBron
Kobe Bryant
Carmelo Anthony
Dwight Howard

All had stats that blew him out of the ****ing water.

Explain your case on him being top 5. I'd gladly listen.

I had no idea being awarded the MVP off the hardwork of a defensive minded squad was considered a great and prideful thing.

His MVP is 08 Kobe tier.

A lot of people were putting him ahead of KD at the time and then you would have some make the claim that he was the best in the league all together.

I'm not sure why I made this thread....

Can you give me a completely objective assessment on D-Rose? Forget that you're a Bulls fan and just tell me what you think about him as a whole. Him as a player and a person in general. His leadership qualities or lack thereof, his ability to adapt to changes, his mannerisms, is he a good friend? A smart guy? Is he well rounded? All that stuff and more.

I'm completely infatuated and enamored with Derrick Rose. I could talk D-Rose all day, every day, for the rest of my life and die content and happy.

Very true. On all those guys, but Rose did lead the Bulls to a Eastern Title.

I think you forgot the major reason an MVP is given comes down to team record and Bulls had the number 1 seed and league best record. So a good statistical year backed up by a good team record is the reason why Rose won it and deservedly so.

Saying he was outside the top 5 MVP candidates shows how much of a dumbfck you are

I don't hold MVP's very highly anyways. It's decided by a panel of sportswriters and broadcasters throughout the United States and Canada, with a small portion by fans. It's dubious to say the least.

[HomieWeMajor]

Barack Obama told the NBA to give D Rose the MVP in an attempt to quell the Chicago killings in the spring of 2011.

I never said that. Learn to read. I did say he was not a top 5 player that year, in terms of individual prowess. He clearly was not. He was awarded the MVP off his team's efforts. Big ****ing deal.
