Is he the only MVP winning draft bust in sports history?
How is he a bust? He is actually a fantastic player that is plague by injuries.
>>67823327
>plays with absolutely no heart
>only there to collect a paycheck
>fantastic player
Boy someone sure watches a lot of E!SPN
>>67823382
Just because the dude is a crook doesn't mean he isn't talented. I'm not saying he deserves all the praise he gets but he is by no means a bust. They've been far worse 1st picks in other sports
>>67823303
>draft bust
He was one of the best guards in the league and the youngest MVP ever before he got destroyed by injuries. A draft bust is a guy who was never good in the pros.
Rose was a flash in the pan.
>>67823415
His mvp season was meh considered to the season other players had.
he used to be better than the current westbrook remember
>>67823454
Still doesn't make him a draft bust.
>>67823303
Fantastic player, ruined by injuries. No, he isn't a bust.
>>67823410
>They've been far worse 1st picks in other sports
the difference being they didn't win MVPs.
is he the only MVP bust? yes
He's the only mvp to not get a ring
>>67823655
>who is Steve Nash
Sup minor-kun. Ready to get served by sempai?
>>67823655
>He's the only mvp to not get a ring
>>67823655
Steve Nash dipshit
Kevin Durant
>>67823655
Nash, Durant, Barkley, Malone and Iverson. You can make a starting five out of all the players you missed dipshit
yes and im from chicago.
just got off work on 76th and Kedzie
>>67823722
>>67823670
I'm high as fuck I meant to say he's the first MVP that won't be HOF cause you konw theres 0 chance
>>67823756
DUDE
>>67823468
kek, not even close.
>>67823722
This team could possibly beat the starting 5 of mvp winners with rings in a 7 game series
>>67823853
There is no way they could beat
Magic / MJ / Bird / Duncan / Kareem
>>67823901
>>67823853
Curry / Kobe / Lebron / Duncan / Shaq would beat all
>first ever nba MVP that won't be in the hall of fame
How you want your career senpai
He's on that Carmelo-tier of players that would be excellent playing second fiddle to a superstar, unfortunately they think they can carry a team on their own.
>>67823382
>He should just retire and let the billion dollar franchise keep their money
Literal cuck mentality.
>>67824473
nice meme
>>67825306
or you can be dwayne wade and be good enough to do both at different stages of your career
probably the best player to never win an mvp and he could've won it so many years carrying shitty squads into a postseason and even winning a ring with a bunch of has beens on his back
>>67825466
Le shooting guard but can't actually shoot man
>>67823722
This team would score a ton be god awful defensively.
>>67824473
That's a really goat team especially if it is Frobr as frobr was an amazing defender.
He's worse than a bust. With busts you just get more high picks and you can get rid of them when their contract is up. Rose was good enough to get the Bulls to commit an entire decade to him while diluting their talent with low draft picks.
>>67824473
They would all yell at that chucker called a point guard for jacking up stupid shit
>le Rose was a bad MVP
I hate this meme. He was the Bulls offense that entire year. He led the team to an NBA best 62 wins. Who else deserves it? LeBron who had a dropoff from the year before?
>>67824473
Magic>>>Curry
MJ>>>>>>Kobr
Bird>>>>>Lebron
Duncan=Duncan
Kareem>>>>Shaw
>>67827097
That was the "lets not give it up Lebron because the decision" year
Lelbron proceeded to guard Rose in the ECF and end his career
>>67827119
now that's what i call edgy
>>67823669
DELETE THIS
>>67825980
Barkley and malone were GOAT defenders at their time though, you traglodite
This nigga rose SOOOO BAD. I keep winning betting against his ass. KEEP defending him pls. I need good odds. People like to compare him Kobe, He was mvp before injuries. ROFL my fucking ass. Kobe actually has 5 rings. Everytime the bulls comes oN ESPN nationally I puke at rose shooting 30 times when BUTLER is the real nigga on the team.
>>67827233
It's true. You can't tell me anyone on team 2 is better than 1. Team 1 literally has the GOATs at all 5 positions.
>>67823454
I actually remember him back in the day. Guy was a straight killer on offense. and solid on on ball D.
>>67827529
Lebron would destory Bird
>>67827119
>individual matchups are everything
Nah, nigga.
>>67823303
Bust? Nah. He was an elite player before injuries wrecked him. Even if he never becomes good again, he still provided infinitely more career value than true busts like Kwame Brown or Anthony Bennett.
>>67827661
>rose
>back in the day
jesus christ how young are you
>>67828146
>Kwame Brown or Anthony Bennett
Kwame Brown is a bust but Anthony Bennett is miles away. I believe he is not playing anymore or is he on D-league?
>>67828146
Stop. He only had 1.5 good seasons. Kwame had an average respectable career.
>>67827439
Malone would have to guard centers in that lineup which isn't something I'd want to see, and I think you underestimate just how bad Nash was at defending, that level of suck makes everyone look bad.
>>67828973
Bennett was cut by the Raptors before the playoffs. We'll see beginning of next season if he is truly washed out of the league.
>>67827677
Bird is a better shooter, rebounder, off-ball player, better team player, more clutch, etc.
Only thing lebron has is he's more athletic.
You have to literally be clueless about Bird to say that Lebron is better than him.
>>67829367
You could have the guards chase off the 3 point like and funnel to the shotblockers in a zone defense, but everyone on team 1 can shoot from the elbow, and shaq doesn't have a lot of lateral quickness and would probably wear down quickly.
link me a video of rose in his prime
i have never understood all the hyping of this guy
>>67831526
he was a prototypical great point guard that could shoot
Great handles
Great passing ability
Assist machine
Decent amount of steals/defensive ability
Quick but precise
Above average shooter
I don't think he would ever be the centrepiece of a championship team but a tandem with another good to great player would probably have worked
Now it's all shit because his knees are in his head and he lost a lot of both quickness and confidence
>>67831526
Rose is fucking wack chucker. He got viral on his pretty boy look cuss hes half chinese half black.
>>67833798
>pretty boy look
>rose
What
>>67823303
rose was so based man he honestly was just like westbrook sucks he got hurt and was never the same
>>67823303
Rose at least has an excuse, his knees exploded. IMO, Nash was the worst MVP ever. The guy was a complete fraud.
>>67830460
You're dumb as fuck.
>>67833867
he is pretty cute desu
>>67831526
Derrick Rose in his prime was an absolutely unbelievable talent, he was every bit as explosive, quick and athletic as Westbrook is now
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMuZqnNTXD0
>>67823327
are you talking about Rose or Oden
>>67823454
26 points
9 assist
And the Bulls finished with the best record. His numbers were pretty damn good that uear.
>>67823655
He's gonna be the first MVP to not go to the Hall of Fame thats for sure
>>67830460
Bird would literally destroy LeBron with his trash talk alone. Bird would be telling LeBron where and when he's going to be taking which shot and then drill it right between his eyes. LeBron would be broken, especially once he sees his heroes MJ and Magic laughing on him for getting torched by a white boy.
>>67827097
>I hate this meme
It's not a meme, they got eaten alive by LeBron in the ECF that year, when everyone thought the Bulls were going to thrash them because they won Game 1. Rose was literally never the same after that. Worst MVP, virtually all his "highlight" plays were travels or carries. Good thing he attacked the basket relentlessly, saving your knees is for chumps right?
>he was the Bulls offense that entire year
>implying thats a good thing
they were fucking loaded, maybe if he decided to pass more instead of just attacking the rim he'd still be playing meaningful basketball
>>67833970
>all that traveling
kek
He was /sp/'s hero back in the day because they related to his "autism" but now that 4chan is all pro family values Trump 2016 they support Curry
>>67834227
2011 /sp/ take me back
>>67834138
>Bulls were loaded that year
>Boozer
>Asik
>Bogans
You are retarded. That team was far from stacked.
YOU WOULDN'T ASK A ROSE DAT GREW OUTTA DA CONCRETE WHY IT GOTTED DAMAGED PETALS
DERRICK A GUD BOY
>>67823303
This is a bust yuh fuckin pylon
>>67834365
>Deng
>Boozer with 17 and 9
>Korver
They were a very strong team, key components just couldn't stay healthy. Breaks of the game. They were doomed from jump street and didn't even know it
>>67827097
Lebron should've gotten it, but Lebron wasn't going to get it, even if he avg. 30/10/6 because that was the first year after "The Decision". Honestly, Lebron should've gotten his six MVP's, I think Durant's was another one, that they gifted to someone just becase they didn't feel like giving another one to LeBron.
>>67824550
he'll get in
the nba hall of fame is kind of a joke
they let everyone in
He'll coming back
>>67823749
do guardian angels still take the red line on weekends?
>>67833999
and he played a lot of the season with other key players out with injuries
people seem to forget that big point. he was THE MOST VALUABLE player in the league because on top of his stats, was able to carry his team to the most wins when the key players missed a chunk of the season
>>67835100
Draymond Green prolly gettin in the NBA hall of fame 2bh smdh family
Rose was the most exciting player to watch in the NBA until he got injured.
It's a shame he did because we were really strong ship contenders - even with the big 3.
I feel so fucking bad for the guy...for people who say he has no heart, imagine what he's been through in his short career.
>>67827141
>>67827097
The Bulls team were carried by the great defense. Any half decent offensive ball dominant guard would have led the Bulls to the first seed.
>>67823722
>no defense: the team
>>67823756
Everyone and their mother gets into the NBA HOF. Rose is a lock a this point. Go back to being underage.
>>67823382
He has always played with heart. To this day he drives to the basket like he's running from the cops. I cringe every time it happens.
>>67823756
>hurrr i was high
I dont usually confuse "championship" with "hall of fame" when im high. Tell me more about your cool weed habit you fucking lying autistic faggot.
>>67833970
This video makes me so sad. Even though he got rich you know he just wanted to play and win back then :0(
>>67834499
>Deng
>Korver
Both are /sp/ memes, anyone who isnt autistic knows they isnt that great and certainly doesnt make you "stacked."
>Boozer
Hahahahahahhaahahaha
>>67834002
>implying everyone doesn't get in the Baseketball HoF
Getting in the Basketball HoF is worthless.
>>67827119
>Duncan=Duncan
Laughed way too hard.
>>67833899
Nash has better shooting % (FG, FT) over his entire career than Curry and he was a much better passer. He made a previously crappy PHX team into one of the best in the league.
