Rose is not a media guy, which I like. He just plays basketball and ignores everything else.
I'm still amazed he has haters to be honest.
The hate is based on the team he plays for.. not how he plays.
And Rose still has potential that he hasn't tapped into yet.. but the reason why no one really mentions it is because hes already playing MVP like. While other guys his age are still fighting to get consistent playing time where they can show what they have.

I read an article on CBS Chicago that, I shit you not, said LBJ was a better MVP candidate because he accounted for a higher % of his teams rebounds.
A sports writer said that.
My goodness.
I hope he doesn't have a vote. LOL
I had to blog about this BS, because it never ends. Rose didn't come out and put himself into the MVP race with his own words, so I really don't think people have the right to hate on him for being a serious candidate!
I honestly think people just are salty at the bulls in general. Why I don't know, maybe cuz of how they dominated the 90s. Including los angeles and new york.
I know. But the fact that they aren't producing up to their potential leaves people talking about it. Rose is performing incredibly.. making a lot of people think he is already at his potential. (Although I believe he has another level he can reach)
This type of stuff drives Rose and I love it. He's the type of player that is consistenly working on his game and at such a young age he has taken huge strides and made significant improvements in the weaknesses of his game each and every year he's been in the league so bar. The hate he receives from people is only making him better and they just don't realize it so let them keep talking.
He's going to get better. He is a serious MVP candidate. And yet DRose still isn't satisfied. He's his own hardest critic and at the end of the day that's what makes him want to improve even more so than all the BS he hears from all the people trying to hate on him.
We as Bulls fans know this so let the rest waste their time talking crap.

No doubt, and he has even made HUGE strides in a short amount of time during this season. Case in point: Charlotte played the 2-3 high trap on Derrick as good as a team possibly could, other teams started to do the same with a lot of results. In the last 5 games, teams STILL go to a high trap of sorts and it fails.. Why? Because Derrick learned how to A.) Read the traps sooner. B.) Fall out and into traps. C.) cross step, and split the double teams sooner. And D.) His teammates are setting the extra picks necessary to allow him to run his strong side.
That level of adjustment within a month is simply UNHEARD OF with regular players. It would take a standard starting 1-2 guard a good 18 months until they can break traps w/o requiring a trailing man.
Ever notice how...
