QFT. Let the haters hate. He still my favorite point guard in the NBA. And a first-ballot hall-of-famer in my book. He should have won MVP in 2002/2003 when he was on the Nets (still have that jersey after all these years).

  

Another example i brought up when discussing drose and his questionable validity as mvp. J kidd that year was just remarkable, he was still somewhat near his prime, and was the beginning of him being a better shooter,post up player. His shot selection and timing was on that year. That could very well have been his best years. And if someone dares say this years drose>nets jkidd clearly only knows basketball from nba 2k and should never be allowed to post in s&t again.
  

With him averaging near a triple double for many seasons before returning to Dallas.

DRose>Nets JKidd

Not a chance.
JKidds basketball IQ is higher is significantly higher than DRose. DRose is relies on his athleticism and I do not want to take away from him and I don't blame him because he is a young player. JKidd is a "true point guard" and DRose is a point guard with a shoot first mentality and making every transition look like a track meet, I do not see that working when he reach 30 (maybe I might be wrong).

If he continues on his current playing path, i could see pooh as a new/current generation iverson. Minus the work ethic/mentality. A streaky shooter, a sub-par/decent passer, a team shoot the gap defender, who offensively beats defenses with speed,athleticism. That is until he gets older and isnt able to rely on it any longer.
