For those that forgot: he was competing with Lebron, Kobe, D Wade, KD, Dirk, and prime Dwight Howard for this mvp Feel free to mention anybody else I forgot
guys take a moment to think deep... this is D Rose age 21, he wasn't even in his prime. Now say he would of never had that first injury he had, just imagine how much of a monster he would be today ...! curry would be overshadowed by this man and rose would have 2-3 mvps and probably his bulls would have won atleist 1 championship... this dude pre-injury was something out of this world ...
+Allen Smith at this point i don't think that curry would of been on the same level... drose would probably as dominant as lebron was during his heat days.. if not more. he would be on a whole other level than cury imo
it's true. i went out to see the Bulls play the Nets when the latter were still in New Jersey. $30 tickets on Groupon lol. and he threw down one of the most jaw-dropping dunks i've ever seen in a game-just EXPLODED off two feet in the lane, turning what looked like it'd be an easy layup into a two-handed sledgehammer. the place went absolutely nuts. i saw Westbrook the same year, and while they were both incredible athletes, Rose def had the better game. it's so sad about his injuries, and i'm glad he's been able to carve himself a career despite all he's been through.
I believe that pre-injury D-Rose is "purely" the most athletic player in NBA history. This means not taking relative height and weight into account, just how athletic you are period (players Wilt, Lebron, Shaq, and D12 are crazy athletic for their size, but I'm just talking about pure athleticism without categorizing players). D-Rose moves, jumps, and changes direction in mid-air like no player i've ever seen.
***** Westbrook can not move in the air nearly as smoothly as Rose can. Westbrook is extremely rambunctious, often going straight up on his lay ups or dunking the ball. Rose's athleticism allows him to move around while maintaining hang time.
i my opinion shaq and hakeem could easily beat wilt and bill russel, check the difference between the players of the 60's and 70's with 90's and today, now almost every player have a great atheticism, strength and height
He had a gear that no one had seen before. The way he goes from casually dribbles to 100mph was insane to watch. Wish he wasn’t plagued with injuries because he was a phenom.
Grant Hill, Penny, Brandan Roy, T-Mac, and Rose are some of the biggest tragedies when it comes to careers and injuries. These guys were all-time greats.
GOD OF HEIGHTS yes but we cant change anything about it it is like it is and i hope that he gets to a consistent great level which he kinda starts to be right now
KS 22 It was always a matter of time for D-rose to have knee injuries. His landing technique was off to begin with which put an unholy amount of pressure and tension on his knees. There's heaps of videos on this and it really is an interesting watch.
Palrath1 drose and lebron . rose and the Bulls should have been given James a run for his money multiple times. with the Bulls prolly winning another ring already smh..
Jordan Bryant Rose vs LeBron wouldn't have been as fun as watching Rose vs Westbrook. Two of the most athletic PG's that have EVER played the game going at it!? Thats more fun than watching a PG vs F.
Eth D wtf define finisher lol I'm a huge derick rose fan , better finisher than mj lebron carter ? Get out please , in his prime he was the most athletic pg ever with Westbrook but not best finisher ever that's one heck over a stretch
About36GREEKS MJ is debatable, Lebron just bullies people, and Carter? Lol. When you take into account Roses size and his athleticism and the acrobatic finished yes he was the best ever, because he didnt have the benefit of being 6'6 like MJ or 6'8 250 like Lebron
Eth D so you're talking about below the rim finishers then , gotta be more specific , even then idk about that , mj switched hands for shots , used to glide through the air half the time while palming the ball with his big hands , lebron is prob the best finisher of all time tho imo the way he can finish plays while being fouled is unbelievable, plus being so big and strong it's just easy for him , that doesn't discredit him from being the best finisher ever tho , and carter in his prime anytime he got in the key it was a slam which by my count is still finishing , rose didn't even dunk as much as you think or prob know , he would have maybe 15-20 dunks a season in his really good years , his layups were incredible however but he got blocked quite a bit too I remember watching games seeing it happen , still an amazing finisher tho I'd put him right up there but can't put him ahead of the guys i mentioned
Yup. The one leg did it. You would think that coaches and other staff would have caught it. I dont see how they aren't trained to see things like that when you are paying guys millions of dollars.

@@reptileguy8458 Let's make it happen! Derrick Rose in his prime definitely belonged on the Bulls Mt. Rushmore! Too big, too fast, too strong, and too good! 😁
D rose was good but he was not THAT good. Calling him the potential goat is the biggest stretch I’ve ever seen. He won MVP with 25 4 and 7. Those are not crazy numbers for an MVP
@@ACLA23it's not a stretch he was truly special. The bulls won 60 games the year he won the MVP. And if you watch those games you could tell he was the best player on the court. The bulls went to the Eastern conference finals and lost to LeBron and the heatles. But it felt time the tide was changing
There was a video a summer or two ago attempting a windmill dunk. He mishandled the ball but he lowkey still has that big time bounce. Just a matter of trusting his body enough to unleash some of that explosiveness
Most people forget how ridiculously fast this guy was he's probably still quicker than most guards today still but doesn't show it too much I'm guessing out of cautiousness
Westbrook is now the best PG in the league curry chokes as he has more turnovers than assists but I really disagree cuz Westbrook can dunk on everyone dude but still D rose great player in year 2010-2011
I was 16 years old during this season. This man was truly the person who made me a huge fan of the NBA. I really thought I was looking at the start of the next Bulls dynasty, which made me hell of excited because I was too young to be able to experience Michael's run. Then the injuries happened and his mvp season feels like yesterday, now i'm 29 and he's about to play his last year(s) of his career. What a story of perseverance, a kid from chicago's most dangerous area that was able to go and show everyone what hard work and talent can achieve.
+Miguel Eduardo wade is still going down as the 3rd best sg of all time regardless of injury. during rose's mvp season d wade was putting up the same numbers
Dude was so agile. Like when you think of westbrook, he goes straight up on layups and dunks. Or even LeBron. But he seemed so smooth, acrobatic 360s, the way he dribbled. It isnt stiff, it's like he sways. The best in my opinion at making it look so fancy
You perfectly described what made him much more fun to watch that Westbrook and John Wall. Those guys are simply not as agile and fluid midair as he is. Combined with his creativity and acrobatics, he was must see TV!
Having spent eleven years attending Bulls games, if I never hear that phrase again it'll too soon. We couldn't get that trash off our team quick enough.
If he was never injured, he'd have spent his entire career toiling away on the Bulls being good but never great, a unique and exciting player to watch, but always coming up short of doing anything noteworthy. Probably making the playoffs each year but being a first round exit.
It's 2021 and it keeps me watching this again and again and will never get tired to watch it for many more times. I was, I am and I will always be a D.Rose avid fan through his ups and downs! He is the only basketball player I admire big time on and off the court. Stay healthy always Poohdini!🌹💯🇵🇭
+Chuck Hayes hell no, THIS healthy bulls roster with MVP rose, all star jimmy butler, a stretch 4 in both pau and taj, with noah??? with pretty much the same production from both benches their regular season series?(Bulls 2-1)?? i honestly think Lebron would have a run for his money.
There is no way to settle this debate. But given that Lebron is 16-5 against the Bulls in the playoffs is a pretty good argument. But this Bulls roster isn't even that good to be honest, if you compare the 2011 season to the 2016 season the 2011 has a better offensive rating (partly due to Rose) and better defensive rating. As much as a like Pau, he's a liability on defense. And i assume you want a healthy noah because he only played 29 games and sucked in the ones he played. The only way I see the Bulls have any chance against the Cavs if they have the 2011 squat and instead of keith bogans have this years Jimmy Butler
+Chuck Hayes assuming noah healthy then yeah, problems for lebron and those guys, they clearly can't go against big body shotblockers (before bogut went down vs after in this years finals). but i will speculate that mvp rose with this jimmy butler probably couldnt beat lebrons heat, but this cleveland squad??? mmmm 4-2 bulls lol
I was at the Hpuston game where he made the buzzer bester to send it into overtime. It was the most electric feeling I have ever had. The atmosphere i. the building was insane. One of the happiest memories of my life. watching D Rose that seasone was such a joy.
I use to watch this video everyday my sophomore year, all I did freshmen and sophomore year was watch highlights of so many players. God the throwback and chills this gives me
chris land no way!!!!! 2014-15 maybe but 15-16 is one of the best seasons by any one player in any sport of all time. He changed the way the game is played
I'm 37. I grew up And still live in Chicago. MJ was my God. Prime Derrick was the most athletic and explosive player I've ever seen. His speed, bounce, power, was something I've never seen before or after. He was on pace to be the greatest PG ever, easily. That Bulls team was built to win also. Tears me up everyday. Literally haunts me the what ifs. When he tore the knee the first time, I prayed. He never got 'it' back .
Hale Orlando I wanted that too but we lost to the cavs :/ Although the cavs coach called a time with no times left we should have got free throws so their "Game winner" shouldn't have happened.
+nickmrecker it still is not as much as before though everything has been about money since 97 to now views equal money thats why lebron has been in the finals 5 straight times im not a hater either i respect everyone in the nba just not the people who control their success
Getting the Wetworks what made rose so much better is he had gears Aka pace control could be in first gear and go into overdrive and then finish it left right up and under reverse I mean you name it he could do it only person with that same finishing ability is Kyrie just without the explosion
I agree that Rose has quicker and has a softer finish. But Westbrook is bigger, faster(speed is not acceleration), stronger, and can fly higher. This translates to West being the better defender (both help and on lockdown), rebounder (by miles), and he's better at transition. They're pretty much equal at getting to the hole and finishing (rose with finesse, russ power); and passing might be a toss. But Westbrook can guard Rose. I can't say the same vice versa.. On top of that, Westbrook has a more reliable better jumper. Also in my opinion, Westbrook is the most passionate player since Kevin Garnett.
Donald Sanders I agree to a point but rose was better overall, how many times does rush turn it over? That's the big key turnover ratio, and not to mention rose was what 23-24 that season and a point guard getting MVP? Rush is what? 28? If rose didn't get injured when he did who knows how much more dominant who could be right now at 27 years old?
For those that forgot: he was competing with Lebron, Kobe, D Wade, KD, Dirk, and prime Dwight Howard for this mvp
Feel free to mention anybody else I forgot

@@aaronharris5069 Alright. I'll get on it. I'll keep you posted. Lol lol
lol, a ferrari with a bunch of hyundais
lol that shit was jokes
Joe Blacc not really if u can’t see his value then I don’t know why u here now hehe love u
Stacey king🐐🐐🐐
I'll take a Hyundai
Cant imagine what this guy could have acomplished without the injuries. He could have been the best PG ever and arguably the best of all time
D rose was good but he was not THAT good. Calling him the potential goat is the biggest stretch I’ve ever seen. He won MVP with 25 4 and 7. Those are not crazy numbers for an MVP
@@ACLA23he didn't become the youngest MVP for no reason lol
@@ACLA23 being an mvp isn't about the numbers, tired of this narrative.
@@ACLA23it's not a stretch he was truly special. The bulls won 60 games the year he won the MVP. And if you watch those games you could tell he was the best player on the court. The bulls went to the Eastern conference finals and lost to LeBron and the heatles. But it felt time the tide was changing
Wya Rose fans that stick with him through thick and thin!?
true man
Here dawg
Still got the bulls Jersey on my wall 😎
Michael Hinton same lol
I did man he’s prime is the best point guard to ever live
Honestly you'd think the guy in this video and the guy we see now were two different people...
I know man, this guy@ 2011 is too scary. I can't believe this is the rose i see now @ 2016
There was a video a summer or two ago attempting a windmill dunk. He mishandled the ball but he lowkey still has that big time bounce. Just a matter of trusting his body enough to unleash some of that explosiveness
You say that as if he's a scrub. He's still really good and had a great season. Ppl still sleep on him.
how injury can do to ppl
DarkchocolateDX tbh I really did
This guy was definitely more athletic than Russell Westbrook back in the days.
Most people forget how ridiculously fast this guy was he's probably still quicker than most guards today still but doesn't show it too much I'm guessing out of cautiousness
ik he's extremly quick and his vertical jump is also amazing. he would've been such an amazing player today had it not been for the injuries.
Westbrook is now the best PG in the league curry chokes as he has more turnovers than assists but I really disagree cuz Westbrook can dunk on everyone dude but still D rose great player in year 2010-2011
+hy lee Nothing beats a westbrook posterizer. Love seeing his dunks
John David Allison exactly
I was 16 years old during this season. This man was truly the person who made me a huge fan of the NBA. I really thought I was looking at the start of the next Bulls dynasty, which made me hell of excited because I was too young to be able to experience Michael's run. Then the injuries happened and his mvp season feels like yesterday, now i'm 29 and he's about to play his last year(s) of his career. What a story of perseverance, a kid from chicago's most dangerous area that was able to go and show everyone what hard work and talent can achieve.
Bulls were #1 seed, Brian Scalabrine was on the Bulls, coincidence? I think not.
I think you're on to something.
Fungi Byproduct You must be one to if you cant detect the sarcasm
the GOAT scalabrine
too big too strong to fast.........to good
fuckin hate that announcer
they should fire that announcer
+Buck McShaggin ur joking right. Stacey King is a legend to us Bulls fan
+peter hondros he is the best announcer for me.. give me the hot sauce!
too annoying.
I started watching basketball and became a bulls fan the year after his mvp year... really wish i got to watch him play like this more
Sad to see a good player like Rose get injured.
Just like Vince Carter and Dwyane Wade.
Miguel Eduardo Wade won 3 rings, 1 without Lebitch so he's good
Tj Rivera Always got Lebron on the mind huh?
+Miguel Eduardo wade is still going down as the 3rd best sg of all time regardless of injury. during rose's mvp season d wade was putting up the same numbers
+Deonta B Wade's best year was Jordan level.
Here after Derrick Rose announced his retirement. This vid will always have a special place in my heart.🌹
That starting lineup intro gets me every time. Rose will forever be a legend to us from south side Chicago!
Dude was so agile. Like when you think of westbrook, he goes straight up on layups and dunks. Or even LeBron. But he seemed so smooth, acrobatic 360s, the way he dribbled. It isnt stiff, it's like he sways. The best in my opinion at making it look so fancy
You perfectly described what made him much more fun to watch that Westbrook and John Wall. Those guys are simply not as agile and fluid midair as he is. Combined with his creativity and acrobatics, he was must see TV!
Who's here after his 50 pt game today
Carl Johnson Me, I hope he continue this kind of game
me
Just saw the highlights dude went beast mode with those 50 points
ME
HIS DUNK AGAINST DETROIT WAS FILTHY
I’d pay to hear “FROM CHICAGO, AT GUARD” one more time. That’s a special introduction
D rose and CM punk run windy city 🐂🏀🌹🌁
@@leandroantelo7154 lmaooo cm punk ffs
Having spent eleven years attending Bulls games, if I never hear that phrase again it'll too soon. We couldn't get that trash off our team quick enough.
@@MyopicSundae what is that supposed to mean?
@@hollycochran5979 It means that everyone who was a Bulls supporter during Rose's tenure with the team didn't like him and is glad he's gone now.
TOO STRONG, TOO FAST, TOO GOOD, WITH ANOTHER WORDS DERRICK ROSE, THE ONE AND ONLY
Too much injuries
just imagine if he was never injured.
Maybe lebron will get him for LA.L
Ohhh he tried but the Motor City didn't approved of the trade
DO NOT MAKE ME CRY DUDE
that's not possible with this play style, sadly we all have +- same weak joints and ligaments.
If he was never injured, he'd have spent his entire career toiling away on the Bulls being good but never great, a unique and exciting player to watch, but always coming up short of doing anything noteworthy. Probably making the playoffs each year but being a first round exit.
It's 2021 and it keeps me watching this again and again and will never get tired to watch it for many more times.
I was, I am and I will always be a D.Rose avid fan through his ups and downs! He is the only basketball player I admire big time on and off the court.
Stay healthy always Poohdini!🌹💯🇵🇭
imagine THIS rose with the squad they had this year. conference finals ATLEAST!!! that'd of been more hype than okc vs gsw
He would run into Lebron eventually, he'd get killed again like Lebron always does to the bulls
+Chuck Hayes hell no, THIS healthy bulls roster with MVP rose, all star jimmy butler, a stretch 4 in both pau and taj, with noah??? with pretty much the same production from both benches their regular season series?(Bulls 2-1)?? i honestly think Lebron would have a run for his money.
There is no way to settle this debate. But given that Lebron is 16-5 against the Bulls in the playoffs is a pretty good argument. But this Bulls roster isn't even that good to be honest, if you compare the 2011 season to the 2016 season the 2011 has a better offensive rating (partly due to Rose) and better defensive rating. As much as a like Pau, he's a liability on defense. And i assume you want a healthy noah because he only played 29 games and sucked in the ones he played. The only way I see the Bulls have any chance against the Cavs if they have the 2011 squat and instead of keith bogans have this years Jimmy Butler
+Chuck Hayes assuming noah healthy then yeah, problems for lebron and those guys, they clearly can't go against big body shotblockers (before bogut went down vs after in this years finals). but i will speculate that mvp rose with this jimmy butler probably couldnt beat lebrons heat, but this cleveland squad??? mmmm 4-2 bulls lol
Haha I disagree but everyone has their own opinion and lets keep it at that! good night sir
Tears roll down my eyes when DRose was announced... He deserved so much❤️
damn we going to miss rose in Chicago no matter how many injuries I'm still rooting for this kid
Chicago made a mistake trading Rose, they don't even have Butler now.
rozayification boston fan but it genuinely makes me sad thinking ahout how nice he coulsve gotten
it didnt matter what city he was playing, the crowd cheered for his greatness.
There's no Point Guard I've ever seen playing more athletic like prime D-ROSE period.
R westbrook
Then apparently you don't watch NBA basketball.
Ja Morant
@@smokeyliban879 how sure he got more hops but d rose was too fast too strong too big too goof
@@zoftisman9075 wouldn't even say that, D Rose could fly man
THE MOST ATHLETIC PG IN THE HISTORY OF THE GAME
Westbrook = most athletic
D-Rose = quickest+strongest combination
+Emīls Škodovs its about the same. Only difference i see is Westbrook is more reckless while Rose tries to avoid contact.
Westbrook is the most athletic PG in the history, Kyrie is the most skillful PG
rose from rookie to 2012 was always faster than westbrook and more explosive ,
+Jim _m I'd say magic Johnson for most skilled
Healthy Derrick Rose > Curry
no shit, he was drafted #1 overall, it's his job to be the best PG.
rose > westbrook?
at least Derrick doesn't choke like curry
All day
He is healthy, it's called not the same player.
D. Rose highlights come across my feed 2 every quarter. I watch them every time
nobody can ever play like this while sustaining his health...
Allen iverson did,
+Philipsss Thao AI didn't slam like drose
Russel Westbrook??
+Philipsss Thao Iverson got beat up but he wasn't explosive enough to put that kind of stress on his body. Unlike Rose.
+TheEj1313 nigga, why are y'all all ignoring Westbrook does the EXACT same thing and his body is just fine!
13:33 "I don't think he is worrying about that ankle tonight" this explains A LOT of what he was, and what he became.
Yeah the signs were obvious from the beginning. Westbrook must have the leg of achilles to not get injured dunking and jumping like that
Man Rose potential will always be a mystery!!!!
2021 still watching D rose Old highlights ♥️
who's here after his 50-point game against the jazz on halloween?
I am. So happy for my dude.
How many knicks fans are here besides me trying and get comfort out of that trade? lol
Same😂😂😂😂
lol I'm here because of the trade too
The Knicks just pulled off a highway robbery.... You traded garbage for a potential all star play. What more comfort do you need.
not only that, but trading Rolo gives us a hole at center and cap space ... they will most likely get Howard... if not howard then Gasol
ANYBODY but Howard....he's soft in easy markets, i can't imagine how easily he'll crumble here in NY.
I was at the Hpuston game where he made the buzzer bester to send it into overtime. It was the most electric feeling I have ever had. The atmosphere i. the building was insane. One of the happiest memories of my life. watching D Rose that seasone was such a joy.
I'd still take MVP D-ROSE over just about anyone.
Man I’m pretty sure I come back and watch this video once a month
the fact that he never really hit his PRIME,
This is one year of highlights at 21 years old. Drose was one of a kind this is is something that we will never see again
I use to watch this video everyday my sophomore year, all I did freshmen and sophomore year was watch highlights of so many players. God the throwback and chills this gives me
People say Rose was the best player on that team but lets be real White Mamba was
+Deontray Woodson hes joking
+Deontray Woodson How was I not the best player on that team?
+Brian ScalaGOAT haters
White Mamba gave bulls 6 championships as well
😂😂😂😂
2011 nba mvp is the most special of all mvp's of 2010's honestly..
2016 steph?
LeBron deserved to win MVP that year
chris land no way!!!!! 2014-15 maybe but 15-16 is one of the best seasons by any one player in any sport of all time. He changed the way the game is played
@@keith.2306 agreed bro
@@ahmed-bw5mb steph chokes in the finals
Come back here every once in a while to remember how great this man was fr
7:42 Scottie Pipen is like Yes! Derrick Rose is saving the Bulls greatness from extinction 😂
This should teach us all to appreciate what we have when we have it.... 🌹🙌🏽
Dang this guy was awesome. If this guy ever return to this form, it will be over for this league.
It was unreal watching this every game . Fun being a bulls fan back then
Just tore my ACL. Was a great basketball player. Just wanted to see if I’m ever gonna recover. Wanted to watch him. And I’ll say.... wow
6:53 "There's a Ferrari out there with a bunch of Hyundai's" Lol
6:59 “a Ferrari out there with bunch of Hondas.” 😂
Hondae’s
I thought he said Hyundais
I'm 37. I grew up And still live in Chicago. MJ was my God. Prime Derrick was the most athletic and explosive player I've ever seen. His speed, bounce, power, was something I've never seen before or after. He was on pace to be the greatest PG ever, easily. That Bulls team was built to win also. Tears me up everyday. Literally haunts me the what ifs. When he tore the knee the first time, I prayed. He never got 'it' back .
"Too big, too strong, too fast, TOO GOOD" Love the Commentator !!!
did injury really mess him up this bad
Smoove yes
Smoove Yeah he never really trusted his knee once he returned the first time and just kept on getting injured.
He needs to cut his hair
His confidence just isn’t the same...so sad.
best finisher at rim all time
Whats the song called in the beginning again? I cant remember. I sure hope DRose takes the championship this year though.
Hale Orlando Alan Parsons Project - Sirius
Hale Orlando I wanted that too but we lost to the cavs :/
Although the cavs coach called a time with no times left we should have got free throws so their "Game winner" shouldn't have happened.
Joker Mc I knew LeBron was going to get the final shot I'm sure almost everyone knew. They should've double teamed him
Joker Mc Not saying the NBA is fixed but...
+nickmrecker it still is not as much as before though everything has been about money since 97 to now views equal money thats why lebron has been in the finals 5 straight times im not a hater either i respect everyone in the nba just not the people who control their success
Watching every game of that season live was amazing. Nobody and I mean nobody wanted smoke with D Rose he was too good
MVP rose was Westbrook on steroids
Westbrook better
Getting the Wetworks what made rose so much better is he had gears Aka pace control could be in first gear and go into overdrive and then finish it left right up and under reverse I mean you name it he could do it only person with that same finishing ability is Kyrie just without the explosion
I agree that Rose has quicker and has a softer finish. But Westbrook is bigger, faster(speed is not acceleration), stronger, and can fly higher. This translates to West being the better defender (both help and on lockdown), rebounder (by miles), and he's better at transition. They're pretty much equal at getting to the hole and finishing (rose with finesse, russ power); and passing might be a toss. But Westbrook can guard Rose. I can't say the same vice versa.. On top of that, Westbrook has a more reliable better jumper. Also in my opinion, Westbrook is the most passionate player since Kevin Garnett.
+Donald Sanders but rose has better handles the Russ
Donald Sanders I agree to a point but rose was better overall, how many times does rush turn it over? That's the big key turnover ratio, and not to mention rose was what 23-24 that season and a point guard getting MVP? Rush is what? 28? If rose didn't get injured when he did who knows how much more dominant who could be right now at 27 years old?
12:45 - 12:50 this is the untold truth of every Derrick Rose highlight lol
What lol? Him crossing paths with Paul George?
Not that lmao, it's he makes moves so quick you need to see them in slow motion in order to really see them
Jon Jon Baldwin Tru dat. I understood nothing until I saw replays
"Too strong, too big, too fast, too good!"
Girl you are a bueaty😍😍
@@angelmanny7027 thats not a girl dumbass
He was just too good. Crazy crazy crazy CRAZY athletic
Too big Too strong Too Fast Too Good!
If he never had injurys he'd be way better than steph curry who just won MVP
Ronan Reid It seems that you are the only person in the whole world that can predict the future.
+Ronan Reid Nope, he would've be in the MVP candidate
+Ronan Reid He cant shoot like Curry tho, so thats debateable
+nkflier45 curry can't dunk and drive like him too
Roy Fu Curry can definitely finish on par with Rose, Currys one of the best finishers in the league
Damn... From T-Mac to D-Rose... Don't wear adidas basketball shoes bru...
