When it comes to the NBA I don't like to compare players b/c each player holds his own strength(s). Derrick Rose is one of those guys where plural applies. If you haven't watched him play live, you probably should. Because I haven't and its probably a pretty good show. Only problem is the Chicago Bulls tend to sell out quick. That doesn't surprise me but what does is how quickly the tickets go. People flock to see this team and guy play because he/most of the team bring it every night. The guy is dominate and he commands the floor. Eyes and ears on D-rose because if you look away, you actually might miss something. It happens to me all the time when I'm watch this freak at home and I look away for a second to check the scores from around the leagues on my ScoreMobile App and BOOM...DUNK!

Product Placement. Learnt it from KIA
Derrick Rose has taken his team above and beyond this year. He has been a part of a number of nationally televised games and has had to work with an injured filled Chicago Bulls roster. I'm not taking anything away from coach Tom Thibodeau who has done an amazing job with the team and is well deserving of the Coach of the Year award but
D-Rose was the guy on the floor making the magic happen. Thibodeau did help the team get the number one spot in the eastern conference but most of the credit has to go to D-Rose. With Carlos Boozer out to start the year and Joakim Noah's finger surgery mid-season, Rose was almost forced to put this team on his back and run with it. Rose had a great cast of players around him like Loul Deng (top 10 NBA in minutes played), Kyle Korver (3-point expert) and Omer Asik (Turkish Thunder). All these guys fit the puzzle the Bulls have been working on for the past 78 games. This team is drawing many comparisons to great teams of the past. One team in particular sticks out...Team comparisons are very common because they give you an idea of how greats teams are suppose to play.

| 1990-1991 Chicago Bulls |
This years Chicago Bulls team is almost identical to the 1990-1991Championship Chicago Bulls team. From Omer Asik playing the role of Will Perdue to Kyle Korver trying to do his best John Paxson impersonation. Scottie Pippen is your Luol Deng and Boozer can be your Horace Grant. We all know who plays MJ in this story. We'll even let C.J.Watson play B.J. Armstrong. Little dudes got to stick together. And finally the piece that usually went unnoticed; Bill Cartwright. The man worked that much harder because he was on a team with that much more talent. Joakim Noah is your Cartwright. He plays to his full potential every night and is one of the best post defenders in the game. He hustles down from both ends of the floor and plays great help defense. He's a verbal motivator and a fan favorite. His hair style might not be something you'd want to get but it does the job for Joakim.
