Westbrook wasn’t that much worse than Rose, the difference is Rose was a winner Russ wasn’t and still isn’t. If Rose had played with KD they would’ve won championships early before his injuries.
BULLS FAN HERE.....I REMEMBER WATCHING THIS GAME ON CHRISTMAS WITH MY FAM AND GOING CRAZY WHEN ROSE HIT THAT SHOT..... I REALLY THOUGHT THAT WAS OUR YEAR TO WIN IT ALL.....UNFORTUNATELY THAT WAS THE SAME SEASON ROSE TORE HIS ACL IN THE FIRST ROUND OF THE PLAYOFFS 😔 R.I.P KOBE
JASON COOPER same bro ! I was hyped ! I remember we were sitting at the table eating and me and my cousin whos a big lakers fan were going crazy. I thought kibe was gona hit that last bucket tho
Same here, I will always remember this game, especially Roses game winner. I actually forgot about the game saving block at the other end. Its extra special because I hate the Lakers
Man it was our year, coming off that mvp season he was maturing into a real ball distributing point guard with a more efficient pull up from range, we were winning that first playoff game too...we all know what happen after that tho. He was on his way to being the face of the league💯my brother was a lebron fan so those games were always fun, i truly hope he gets a bounce back next season he looked great last year💯Forever #1. Hard to accept the fact he will never truly have that explosion that made him great tho, bouncing over Paul Gasol and getting a beautiful floaty💦he did that allll the time & made it look easy, not as easy as it looks that’s why everyone stays out the paint and shoots 3s these days lol, last of his kind🙏🏽
I remember watching this game live. The broadcasters pretty much counted the bulls out mid 4th quarter. I remember one of them saying bulls are not gonna win this game but atleast they can go home and celebrate Christmas. This game is what made me dislike LA and new York because all national televised broadcasters are either from LA or New York and suck off there own teams and showing unfair support to the other teams
Yeah he was something special.. what happens when you don't self care yourself or knees.. it's just so weird how he peaked so young but never same player again.. he's still got just not THAT guy no more
Drew Caraballo Kobe could have taken the 3 instead of the layup. I really don’t care what ppl say abt Bron. I respect grt players and what they bring to the court. Ring or not. I like competition
You got to remember drose and the bulls were the contenders who almost stopped the miami trio. You know drose was special because he fought hard against DWade Lebron and Christ Bosh in the playoffs eastern finals + after the Rookie of the year he became the youngest MVP while Kobe,Lebron, and Wade is still playing that year with him. Imagine the odds of being the MOST VALUABLE PLAYER in the NBA, and competing against majority are talented players.
Walter Castillo after 4 straight finals and 2 championships and that bulls team got 0 rings 😂 but that being said I still hate the fact that D rose suffered all those injuries
You no he said he could score in his sleep because it was so easy for him to score he was the master of scoring. Because he would find a way out of no way kobe one of the goats if not the goat shine.on kobe mamba.for.life
This is so intense, there is a big difference in the intensity of the game between the past and present era. since the absence of players like kobe and mj, everyone looks so relaxed in playing.
Watch the opening of the 2008 and 2010 finals. Even that, was a trip back to the past to the physicality of playoff basketball in the 60's, 70's and 80s. Those Finals opened like two teams trying to fight for their fucking lives.
Also 2011 when Dirk played through the flu and a torn finger. Not as much physicality as in other finals games but also very very strong determination in both Teams trying to get the championship.
The fact that DRose is still playing and absolutely balling out for the Pistons is a testament to his greatness, his work ethic, and to just how special of a player he was. To have undergone multiple catastrophic knee surgeries and still be half a step faster than 95% of the league, is just insane. Derrick was truly a top-10 all-timer if healthy, just like Tracy McGrady was.
Man if Drose did not have a career full of Injuries he would of dominated the league for years. He was just getting better every season. So exciting to watch and really was such a humble talent
I remember this day woking up in the morning (philippine time) and watching my favorite player win this game. This is the greatest bulls line up. With the bench mob
My family was going crazy in the living room. But I was playing this game with my cousins in the other I said watch, the Bulls'll win with some crazy D Rose shot to complete like the craziest comeback. I had no idea what was going on in other room with this except that they might've been down 5 or 6 with little time. Wasn't huge in to basketball but living near Chicago all sports talked turned into Derrick Rose talk at this time in Illinois. I wouldn't see this until months later and only now do I realize how messed up is they won that game. D Rose makes me wanna play the game. Nobody's style was fun to watch like that man.
God, i remember this game clearly where i just started watching basketball, and was a kobe fan. This was the time i recognised rose and became the biggest d rose fan.
Man when Kobe hit that spin fadeaway I thought it was over. Then Rose that game winning floater. Bulls just needed one stop and EVERYONE knew who was gonna take the shot. This game was absolutely insane to watch live as a bulls fan. Good times😔
D rose will always be my favorite point guard, better than Westbrook in his prime. Notice how humble he was at the interviews always says “my teammates help me”. It’s sad we got robbed on seeing what he could of really did to the league
@@prezian1312 Westbrook can never carry a subpar team like Rose did and they even beat Miami .. Comparing their peaks Rose was better than Westbrook and if wasnt for the injuries he would have achieved more than Westbrook even with the Miami big 3 in his conference
robin hood I agree but injuries happened we can’t ignore that. he’s easily better than westbrook at everything in his prime.Westbrook lasted longer and still runs fastest and probably still top 3 fastest players in the league.Overall though I still believe westbrook is higher all time.
3:35 Crazy that there was a time in our life where MVP Rose and Jimmy Butler were playing together. Obviously JB was just a rookie but most people associate them 2 way later on in their careers.
Back when bball was interesting with multiple plays, strategies and styles of play to beat the high level of defense that was allowed. Now it's just running and shooting threes or blowbys to the rim without contests cause no one can touch anybody. I'd love for games like these to return. Euroleague still plays this type of ball and games are super interesting, but obviously players are on another level in the NBA.
Average pace was 92 in 2011. Now its 98. Thats less then %6 increase. Ppg went up from 100 to 114. Thats because teams shooting 3pts more. Defense is pretty much the same. You just dont understand basketball at all
Kobe should've just went for the pull up J...easy game winner...but Rose was so amazing but people forget that Kobe was still the best player in the NBA at this point
@alejandrothefader you can't really say that about rose. Who knows how good he could have been. He was still young and improving as a player. Just imagine, Rose was only 22 at the time, he had many more years to improve his game. Just an opinion
Look man DRose had the most raw potential i jus about ever saw. He was future greatness. Better than most in that era. Imagine now? Healthy, still explosive, he would ve been developed other elements to his game. He woulda been better than Irving, Russ, Cp3, and whoever in that time till now.
He would easily have been the best point guard for the past 5 years if he never got injured. Crazy how the youngest mvp is the one who had the worst injury out of all the guards
@ultrajeed , he was forced to pass the ball, there's a difference... @Poetic Justice , and who is "Everyone" that you speak of?... When i said "Everybody" i was talking about the bulls, the coach & the whole Staples Center knew who was going to take the last shot for L.A, that was classic kobe, and because he didn't look for the open man, he cost his team the game. 🤷
Honestly if that version of MVP Rose was playing in today's league with all the new dribbling rule (carrying etc and extra steps). It'll be a NIGHTMARE to guard him, I think you'll need IV drips during time-out.
Man Its almost like yesterday how I remember watching this on channel 7 having Christmas dinner with the fam thinking about how the Bulls would be a solid consider for years too come. Now the Bulls have a completely new roster of guys smh. Wow how time ⏰flies.
My two favorite players of all time i can’t watch this without crying my eyes out bcuz kobe was my dads favorite player and we watched this game together and I was completely mesmerized by what i was watching. This give me childhood flashbacks it’s really hard to watch.
It's very important that Derrick 🌹 retire in a Chicago Bulls uniform soon after he play one more season ! He must teach Dosunmo and White sone very important skills inside the paint and running up and down the court offensively / defensively !
@@trewright58 there were multiple times in that lockout compressed season that he rushed back from injury too quick and coach Thibs had a bad habit of playing Rose heavy minutes in meaningless blowout situations where the game was already decided (including the fateful playoff games vs Philadelphia that killed Rose's career and the bulls whole franchise).
Wonderful demonstration of a great coaching! The double defence on Kobe really saved the Bulls. We so often credit player who succeed their shots and flashy moves but people are far from measuring the value of coaches? Thanks for this share.
his mid air speed and ball handling and just how quickly he can think about what needs to be done and change his form in the matter of seconds is insane. hell never lose his basketball iq and im happy we still get to see his basketball iq even if its mainly in how he passes or tricks defenders rather than primarily being used to cut to the rim.
I haven't seen basketball played like this is a long time. Seeing Kobe vs a BEAST like d rose made me realize how polished Kobe's game really is. He has to be in the conversation for the GOAT
Detroit native here and we absolutely love D🌹 and been a fan before his injuries and would of loved to see him bringing in a championship for Chicago as a rookie
I will NEVER forget this game. Watched it live with family and talked trash with others online over on Gamefaqs NBA board who doubted the Bulls only for them to come back in dramatic fashion and take the win. Spectacular game.
Damn seeing Kobe, it still feels like he's still alive.
People like him never die. His legacy will live forever.

his mid air speed and ball handling and just how quickly he can think about what needs to be done and change his form in the matter of seconds is insane. hell never lose his basketball iq and im happy we still get to see his basketball iq even if its mainly in how he passes or tricks defenders rather than primarily being used to cut to the rim.
I haven't seen basketball played like this is a long time. Seeing Kobe vs a BEAST like d rose made me realize how polished Kobe's game really is. He has to be in the conversation for the GOAT
8:26 Jimmy was learning from this
8:32
Is the real GOAT
White Mamba
😆
Detroit native here and we absolutely love D🌹 and been a fan before his injuries and would of loved to see him bringing in a championship for Chicago as a rookie
The tension at the end, D Rose what a shot. We need crowds back in arenas.
HEY HEY HEY I NEVER KNEW ROSE COULD SHOOT?! THAT FORM LOOKS FINE ALSO TOO
Here after d rose retirement. Forever DROSE!
D Rose is a very humble young man💯
Still hurting... RIP, Kobe...
I will NEVER forget this game. Watched it live with family and talked trash with others online over on Gamefaqs NBA board who doubted the Bulls only for them to come back in dramatic fashion and take the win. Spectacular game.
