It's super crazy to me that Rose was more athletic than Russ, and Russ is fuking insane. The surgeries made him stronger , meanwhile Rose
By s y Go To PostNope
man idk
Prime Rose was one of the fastest players I've ever seen with a ball
if only he learned how to fall
naw, westbrook is dumb athletic. the difference in the two is that rose was a WAY better ballhandler and because of it, he could take advantage of his athleticism on the perimeter much better than westbrook could ever hope to.
rose was hell to guard even though he couldn't shoot for shit. he'd be past the first defender before defenses could even wall up and its because he could change direction with the ball in ways that westbrook never could

Westbrook has always been just as fast, twice as strong and 100x more durable than Rose. Westbrook can eat contact too.
Westbrook is the LBJ to Rose's Wade

Rose's mid-air body control was something to behold. It was just on his way down he had no idea how to handle.

We talking elite of elite athleticism in the human body between both, but you slighting Prime Rose.

By s y Go To PostWestbrook has always been just as fast, twice as strong and 100x more durable than Rose. Westbrook can eat contact too.Rose had a much higher vertical leap
Westbrook is the LBJ to Rose's Wade
Prime DRose was probably the most exciting player to watch at the time. His speed, body control and hops for his size were amazing.
By Smokey Go To PostWe talking peak athleticism in 2 human beings, but you slighting Prime Rose.naw... rose was godlike, but he never had westbrook's ability to just straight up truck people.

Westbrook is the LBJ to Rose's Wade. People forget the insane shit wade used to do before his knees ran out of super ex meter.
rose was an acrobat. breh looked like plastic man in the air w/ some of his finishes.
westbrook is point guard lebron
the former caused lots of issues w/ the latter. the way his foot/leg position would hit on landings is brutal.

By diehard Go To PostRose had a much higher vertical leapyou can't trust vertical leap like that
jordan farmar had jumpoutthegymbility too
By DY_nasty Go To Postyou can't trust vertical leap like thatIt's a point of data to consider
jordan farmar had jumpoutthegymbility too
was Farmar's actually taken at a combine?
By diehard Go To PostIt's a point of data to considerLuke Babbitt.

By Smokey Go To PostWestbrook is literally the Hulk. Rose lacks hatred.

vertical leaps don't necessarily match up with game speed gathers. they'd probably be better off switching to nfl combine type stuff to make certain measurements
Man fuk idk. Westbrook is crazy. In that video he's literally trying to kill everybody including the goal.
lil bron might be the most apt description yet

Fave dunk ever. D Wade literally walked the opposite direction to step over varejao lmao
This one is good too. The sound!
Young Wade = Young Jordan
By DY_nasty Go To Posti still laugh every time i see that rose dunk where he bodies dragicYou know how you know you're old when you see that dunk? There's a Tyrus Thomas sighting in it.
By domino Go To Postrose def aint making the HOFgrant had a great twiglight of his career.
he's grant hill w/o the college career to fall back on.
Grant Hill, despite everything, also has 17,000 points in his career and over 1,000 games played.
McGrady, for example, has 18,000 points and 938 games played. Hill should make it.

Rose was probably faster than YNB. But strength is part of athleticism and ... yeah.
It's still a shame what happened there. He basically had Kyries handles, but played at YNB's pace, with currys ability to finish. Mediocre shooter though.

James' two sons, 13-year-old LeBron JrThe day Lebron Jr gets drafted #1 overall in 5 years time I'm gonna go jump off a bridge cause I'll be washed af and Lebron Sr will still be playing in the NBA.
I still think it is a testament to CP3's handles with how low his turnover rate is every single year despite dominating the ball as a pass-first PG.
By s y Go To PostKyrie's 3rd eye activates when he breaks his man down.kyrie is anime
By Kibner Go To PostI still think it is a testament to CP3's handles with how low his turnover rate is every single year despite dominating the ball as a pass-first PG.oh, CP3 is right up there.
By reilo Go To PostYou know how you know you're old when you see that dunk? There's a Tyrus Thomas sighting in it.

Lebron will be in that jumpshot stage at only 38. Gonna back young fella in the post. That's gonna be crazy.
By Smokey Go To Postyooo this is totally gonna happenNike is going to remake that "Lebron choking on the first possession, just kidding" commercial from his rookie year except it'll be Jr facing off against Sr.
Lebron will be in that jumpshot stage at only 38. Gonna back young fella in the post. That's gonna be crazy.

I went to lunch and you all changed the subject. Rude.
I'm not saying Harden shouldn't be MVP or that he doesn't deserve it this year (or that he didn't deserve it last year), but I just don't care to watch him play basketball.
Like, I couldn't stand Kobe and his stupid lower jaw, but of course he was the best player in the league for a run of years.
And there have been plenty of Jazz players I couldn't stand. Every day with Raja Bell was a day I looked to get to the other side of.
AD for MVP
