The scary part about D. Rose, he never had a true prime. This was him at 22yrs old, not 26-33. Scary how good he could’ve been had he remained healthy.
This. I hate when people talk about how MVP Rose was "prime Rose" like bro he was still improving year after year. He could've easily improved to be a 30+ppg player every year
fax, people dont realize that this is rose at the beginning of his career, it was only his third year in the league ffs. We never witnessed "prime Rose".
0-100, prime rose is only like 92. He really never ever get his 99s just like kobe, james, jordan. Just imagine how ferocious if he's in his GOAT moment
@@solo_fie you clearly don't know basketball, the stats, and records hes broken in just his first 3 years in the league is absolutely ridiculous. Hes easily one of the best of all time, top 3 PG
Aren Babachanian HELL NAW MVP ROSE WAS WAY FASTER MORE ATHLETIC IN MY OPINION DROSE WAS CONSIDERED THE MOST ATHLETIC POINT GUARD THE LEAGUE HAS EVER SEEN
I think Westbrook can get up higher more consistently, but rose is a better and more creative finisher. plus rose gets into spots in the paint normal players can't get to and he's a better defender too.
Superstars like Dwyane Wade andDerrick Rose main skillsets were driving to the basket and finishing strong or going to the line. People complain when they shoot a lot of free throws but nobody can guard them thats why!
I remember watching this game 8 years ago. I still get goosebumps every time I rewatch it. The way he moves on the court is so violent yet calculated and mesmerising at the same time. Will always be my favourite player of all time.
@@Josh-xl9bh he did lol, just not with the cavs. I mean what do you expect the dude was restricted to stay in one place for lebron to pass the ball. He never played like that. If you watch his time with the hawks he was always hunting for the ball. Not standing still. That's how he got into rhythm.
You can say that about a lotta players, Grant Hill, Kobe, KD, PG13, heck even Greg Oden lol the thing is taking care of your body and being smart on the floor in order to avoid injuries is part of what makes a goat a GOAT. Was LeBron born the way that he just never gets injured? No, the man puts an unimaginable amount of time into building his body in his early years and spends millions annually on conditioning it after he got in the league. Rose could've stayed healthy but the explosive way he finishes at rim just doesn't promise a long and healthy career, it was only a matter of time. Same thing can be said about current freak of nature- Zion Williamson, mark my words, if he doesn't do something about his body weight or changes his way of game it's only a matter of time his career gets jeopardized by a serious injury.
@@noir4659 not sure where kd and kobe came from but this d rose was on another level from grant hill, pg, and Greg Oden. D rose is THE greatest what could have beens in nba history, if not sports history
@@noir4659 Rose was different though. He was the youngest mvp EVER. People underrate that so much. Being the best player in the world at 22 years old is insane. Yea you could say the guys you mentioned could've been goat status but rose was a legitimate reality. After like 4 major knee surgeries and in his 30's this dude dropped 50 still. Just imagine what he could've done in his mid 20's without injuries. And he had a freak injury... don't say that "he didn't take care of his body" cuz thats bs. Rose was a gym rat it was just unfortunate that he became the NBA's biggest "what if" story. His play-style definitely was a factor in his injury but that also just shows how crazy he was on the court. If you combined westbrook and kyrie you get 22 year old rose. Just think about if the guy had a chance to get into his prime without losing the knee...
even his missed layups were fun to watch! His sheer power during takeoffs and elegant adjustments in the air made the whole thing a feast for the eyes.
I’m from chicago, still live here. I was 15 watching this series. Rose will forever be my favorite player. He literally lived the dream of every young hooper from chicago.
My goodness, the way controls his body is insane. From the speed, going through the defense, to his layups. This is why he’ll always be my MVP. Incredible.
As a die heart Bulls fan I’m in tears watching this, how I wish we could’ve won it all this year man.. I loved this team so much.. played with heart and toughness..
Sorry I think prime rose with his acls still intact is one of the greatest pgs ever but he wouldnt stand a chance against mj Mj won defensive player of the year one time because he said that he just felt like it imagine going against a man with a 48 inch vert
Mj looked graceful in the air. He slowed down time without the replay. Drose you need to watch a slow motion reply to see how the hell he got that shot off lol.
in his mvp rookie year? bruh, i mean is a super star, but i would never compare rose to wade lol, wade has rings but drose is way way better than him if rose reaches his prime
@Almost Homeless dude if the court is wide open and you cant stop a guy like rose who can finish inside i think that is a threat and when you try to stop that guy from finishing in the basket then in opens the floor and that makes the 3 dangerous...i hope that explain to you
Lual Deng came over to Australia and told me I had handles. the only thing I could think about was that he played along side d.rose so this complement ment a lot to me
What people don’t understand is that Rose was a healthy player up until 2011-12 Lockout year. That season teams played 3 games in 3 nights & 6 games in 7 nights. If not for that season Derrick would have never got hurt
no matter what you say about "oh you could tell he would get hurt eventually", it's true, his playstyle and why he's so good is because he is putting every ounce of effort on EVERY SINGLE PLAY. That is why he, at the time, was literally one of the most amazing players to have ever played the game. He is like lee opening the gates in naruto, he was bound to die, so you can't say that you wish he didn't open his gates, because if he didn't he would have been just any other allstar
I’m 5 years late but brotha I’m stuck on the same exact clip rn. A 6’2 point guard exploding 10-15 feet from the basket immediately off a split the screen 1 dribble. Insane.
That’s why we have to appreciate when these special people come into our lives to showcase their God-given talents; it’s often that these flashes of brilliance come and go quickly...
Watching this video got me emotional 💔💔 It’s crazy how an injury can destroy a players career. YOUR ONE OF THE GREATEST TO EVER DO IT ROSE, NO MATTER WHAT !!! We love you man. 😞😞
His explosiveness n speed was unreal, combine that with power going to the basket, ability to absorb contact n finish, HOPS too. WOW. It was something never seen in the NBA before. His explosiveness was mindblowing, like DAMN.
Man as a bulls fan all my life it’s hard watching this bro I swear. My job use to let us get off early for playoff games it use to be such a spectacle. Just the torque this dude put on his body man, you can see it in these old clips. No wonder why he doesn’t want to play like that anymore, but damn he was great.
It's crazy how hard and often he got fouled this game. Every trip to the line was deserved cough harden cough. Really miss prime Rose. Dude's finishing ability was something we haven't seen since Jordan
My God. This guy was so damn quick and elusive. He literally looks weightless compared to everyone else. ...kind of makes me wonder...maybe those light legs that made him so quick also made him very fragile.
I’ve never seen that size and that fast and can jump that high. Plus like a unbelievable finisher shit was crazy I hate I didn’t get to see more of him in his prime it sux. He was my favorite player the guy was a something special
I’m convinced if D rose never got injured and entered his actual prime, he would of been the actual guy who stopped Bron from getting multiple rings instead of Curry
There has to be an alternate timeline were this man doesn't get hurt
JC Brian Greene thinks so
yep. and he is dominating it. won 5 championship rings and became more aggressive and stronger
JC yep, probably up there with James boi
Amen
Russel Westbrook is what D Rose would have been if he wasnt injured
The scary part about D. Rose, he never had a true prime. This was him at 22yrs old, not 26-33.
Scary how good he could’ve been had he remained healthy.

Iverson was exciting just in a different way
He never reached his prime

This dude used to get up higher than anybody ive seen. And his speed was on a whole other level. Westbrook looks slow compared to this rose
Stockton 209 Westbrook is faster and more explosive and powerful for sure

spot on man I'd have to give prime drose a little edge on speed/quickness but russ in his athletic prime was just about right w rose
Steven Chao u seen roses dunk over joel anthony? U wouldn’t think that if so
Damn, looking at his pace of play and the physical contacts, it's no surprise his knee took its toll. Smh.
Ian DelRey and the way he landed after dunking played a huge role in his knees tearing and bending and shit
Sukhpreet Singh LeBron has done it all his life. Its just bad luck. He can still do it tho, but it can injure him.
i think Lebron is much bigger and much taller. so when he landed from all those jumps and dunks, his knees dont take much abuse as DRose.
Ian DelRey yeah it was unfortunately inevitable to happen. I hope he’ll one day win a championship and make it into the hall of fame
shut up westbrook hasn’t hurt his legs besides when beverly hurt him. it’s just bad luck on rose
D-Rose earned every free throw that night. Not like other superstars that flop 🤣🤦♂️
This was back when the grittier teams still fouled like they meant it! The Pacers looked like The Bad Boys out there. Lol
Exactly.
Superstars like Dwyane Wade andDerrick Rose main skillsets were driving to the basket and finishing strong or going to the line. People complain when they shoot a lot of free throws but nobody can guard them thats why!
He was litterally getting the Jordan treatment

When he drives, bodies fly. Listen to the crowd, the kinda energy he brought to the place. Simply amazing.
The crowd was one of the best parts of this vid
This literally brings tears to my eyes 😢. I miss making the playoffs because of D Rose. The entire roster of the bulls in 2011 was lit.
So sad to see. He could've been on goat status if he never got injured

moves me to tears. I'm convinced I'll never watch another player that gets me hyped like Drose did

That chasedown block then spin move layup is my favorite DRose sequence ever.
