The Official NBA Season Thread: Derrick Rose Retires 🌹

Hmm

 

[rolaholic]

Is DRose turning pro in chess?

Retirement announcement coming soon?

 

[B Sox]

Its difficult to watch the entire ‘09 regular season, watch the Magic/Cavs & Magic/Lakers in the playoffs and conclude that Kobe was the better player that year.

Don’t tell that to Maximus Meridius

His eye test >>> Other’s eye test >>> Stats

HATER

Saying one guy isn’t the best player in the league during the timeframe when someone else wins B2B MVPs and is better in basically every statistical category isn’t hating

It’s not like I’m saying Paul Pierce is better than him.

Doesn’t score as many points, and is less efficient, but is a “better overall scorer”

We just had a discussion about Ai and it revolved around how analytics and efficient nerds write off several legends because they weren't efficient enough. Reminds me of Kobe. Kobe is still the greatest player I've ever seen play in my lifetime, always will be.

 

[WASHED KING]

Kobe isn’t even top 10

Best thing about rose’s career is that he didn’t give up. Got everything out of his knees. Great career all things considered

 

[chao7]

Rose would be the first former MVP who doesn't make the HoF assuming he doesn't get in, right? Sucks for him, props to sticking to it for so long

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Bron did not have the arsenal Kobe had. The footwork, the post game, shooter. If you believe that, not much else to talk about.

Still didn't answer anything.

"Avg more that year = better scorer" is hilarious. Especially when Kobe's career high and game is higher than Brons.

 

[headdetective]

Rose is a lock for HoF

You don’t win youngest MVP ever and not make it, cmon now.

Your argument is that scoring less points at a lower average makes you better at scoring

Bron has a higher career average PPG, more total points, and a 6% better FG% over his career.

Just give it up man

They be forgetting that it’s the BASKETBALL HOF, not NBA HOF. Complete opposite of the MLB/Cooperstown

Today, I am sad bruhs.

Wasn't this the argument used to say Kyle Kuzma is "clearly" better than Jayson Tatum

The same dudes doing it too

Gotta trust their eye test!

Okay, what did Rose do on the international stage to contribute to basketball?

He's even more of a vibes guy than Vince Carter.

Mans had 3 great years. And was average/below average the rest of his career and quit on 3 different teams in his career. The basketball hall of fame is a joke so he probably gets in but man if they want people to start taking the hall of fame serious then they really need to tighten up.

This hurts. Late 80's/Early 90s babies already retiring

George Mikan played 7 years, 4 all stars and less points than Rose and he’s in.

David Thompson is in also. Pete Maravich also. They all had the same trajectory as Rose. Their college careers are also included. College and High School accolades are also used in the basketball HOF

 

[WASHED KING]

1st team All Vibes.

PG Derrick Rose
SG Vince Carter
SF Paul George
PF Carmelo Anthony
C Yao Ming

Just fandom and vibes.

EYE told yall

Being able to play a pro sport after 35 years old is crazy. No shame at all in retiring

 

[WASHED KING]

Man w/e lets just let anyone in the HOF.

Might as well induct Pat Bev too while we at it.

David Thompson averaged 27 in college. Won ever award possible.
Pistol pete all time leading scorer

Rose was averaged like 14

D.rose is the youngest MVP of all time, and has worldwide influence. That's enough to get him in the basketball hall of fame. They bar aint that high. He may not be first ballot though
