D Rose is close to must watch tv for me. He does exciting stuff seemingly every game. I was having a discussion at work, and I said that Rose is becoming close to Jordan in terms of exciting to watch. With Jordan, I felt he was very exciting early in his career. Obviously we had the full length of Jordan's career to watch, while Rose is still early on. I'd like some other comments on how close Rose is for you in terms of excitement level and must watch relative to your memories of Jordan.

It's not even close yet.

So I'm at the gym tonight on the treadmill flipping through the TV channels, & the sports options were either Women's NCAA B Ball, which is laughable, or the Bulls...so I did something I haven't done in many years...I watched an NBA game. Holy shit, this Bulls team is good. Really good. I may need to look for some room at the rear of the Bulls bandwagon.

yeah, here it is



so yeah, your opinion is pretty much worthless

The way Rose can weave to the hoop and get a shot off is like nothing I've seen a guy be able to do. However, contact will throw him off and he doesn't seem to get the calls so he ends up throwing up many more awkward looking shots than Jordan does and missing them.

Jordan could finish stronger at the hoop more consistently but, where Jordan might beat one guy with a move and then get contested, Rose often beats 2 or 3 guys off the dribble and then throws something up.

didn't you just admit the other day that you had just watched a Bulls game for the first time in awhile? so who you crappin?

Rose is good...but comparing him to Jordon at this point is ridiculous.

The league is more talented now than it was with Jordan. Every new generation learns from the successes of the one which preceeded it. The talent level will continue to improve annually.

As bagels so nicely pointed out, you have watched 1 game. No surprise to many of us around here, your opinion is completely worthless.

So you think Rose is better than Jordan? Or do you agree with me that Jordon was better than Rose?

I'm willing to entertain Rose's tremendous ability. However, while the athletic ability might be better now, I'm not going to say that skill/talent level is better.

I think I maybe more excited about the Bulls right now than I was in the prechampionship years of the Jordan Bulls. I was worried back then that the Bulls would not be able to get over the Piston hurdle. But I do not see anyone in the East right now that presents that type of challenge.

The Heat?

3-0 against the Heat.

So you think Rose is better than Jordan? Or do you agree with me that Jordon was better than Rose?

Trouble reading again? I think your opinion is worthless.

I would be interested to see a comparison between the number of 50+ point games within the last 5 years in comparison to the final 5 years of Jordan's career.
