2010-2011 NBA Season Thread

[Boyiee]

Yeah, but not gonna crown him "Baby Jordan" until he has some more years under his belt.

Sounds like King James

[Man0warr]

Btw Scottie never had an MVP type season.

Errr try 1993-94?

That year, he earned All-Star Game MVP honors and led the Bulls in scoring, assists, blocks and the entire league in steals, averaging 22.0 points, 8.7 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 2.9 steals, 1.9 three-pointers, and 0.8 blocks per game, while shooting 49.1% from the field. For his efforts, he earned the first of three straight All-NBA First Team selections, and he finished third in the MVP voting. The Bulls finished the season with 55 wins, only two fewer than the year before with MJ. Oh and the Bulls were 1 bad call away from making it to the Finals that year, led by Pippen.

Don't even try to compare Rose and Pippen. Pippen has forgotten more about defense than Rose will ever know. Selfish, offense oriented PGs don't win NBA Finals. Ask AI.

If Pippen didn't have an MVP type year, then the same argument can be made that rose didn't have an MVP type year.

[Rhinox]

nah man It's the absolute truth.

You can make an argument the year Jordan retired the first time but he had a lot more talent around him then Baby Jordan does now.

Now this is just trolling.

[Heavencloud]

From an objective viewpoint (don't follow the east too closely...) Rose is good. BUT he's not even in the same ballpark as Jordan yet. Sure, the team around him isn't as good, but people forget how good Jordan was before he won anything. Give Rose a couple years and let's see how he progresses, because right now, he's not even at AI's level.

Nah. I'll Ask Isiah thomas.


Averaging 10 assists per game is selfish

Sure he is, he won an MVP, and everyone who's ever won an MVP ever is better than Pippen because Pippen never won an MVP because that's how we determine how awesomely awesome we are.

[Tyche]

Jordan was the best player in the NBA for a number of years, Derrick Rose is the best player at a position he doesn't even play.

Tyche and Manowar sucking off Scottie so much lets see what Scottie has to say about Baby Jordan.

[Tyche]

Again lol, what do you expect him to say?

"Yo scottie, d. rose is about to accept an MVP for the team you spent most of a career with and won a multitude of championships in a city where you can walk into any restaurant without reservation. What say you"

"Man, I tell you what, his season was pretty weak. Lebron deserved that. It wasn't even on par with my 93 season. This nigga is a joke"

[Tyche]

I've been trolled enough tonight. Gnight.

sigh NBA FINALS MVP> REGULAR SEASON MVP

[Rhinox]

There are a lot of players in the NBA who have had exceptional years this season. Dwight Howard is dominant on both ends of the floor, Kobe Bryant and his Lakers have been unbeatable since the All-Star break, and no one will want to face LeBron James and the Heat in the postseason.

But Chicago’s Derrick Rose is clearly the MVP in my mind. I’ve had the opportunity to watch him play every night and I’m very high on the way he has developed as a leader. Now, his team is playing towards a 60-win season. He’s been spectacular.

When you look at the teams at the top of the Eastern Conference, Chicago had one All-Star this season. Boston, a group that has been together awhile, had four, and Miami had three. Even Atlanta had two. Derrick’s consistency has been huge for Chicago, along with Luol Deng, who has proven to be a true thoroughbred. Deng has been equally as consistent; staying healthy all season, bringing energy on a nightly basis, and keeping the focus.

Derrick has been tremendous down the stretch of games. What separates him from the other contenders for MVP is when you look at the Bulls’ overall success. His winning attitude has become contagious. He’s made great strides defensively, giving the same effort on that end of the floor as he does offensively. He gets better every night because he’s so competitive. He stepped up on defense and his team has followed. That’s the definition of leadership.

It also is very revealing when you consider how Rose has performed in the last five to six minutes of games. Rose has had the ball in his hands as the Bulls have won close games all season long. Chicago’s win in Milwaukee on March 26 when Rose took over, finishing with 30 points and 17 assists, is the epitome of why he should win MVP.

Let’s not forget that Rose worked hard in the offseason to add a three-point shot to his arsenal, something that was practically non-existent for him his first two professional seasons. His ability to hit that shot makes teams defend him on the perimeter, rather than backing up a step to try and prevent him from getting into the lane.

I’m sure Derrick wants the MVP just as badly as anyone, but he’d rather have a championship. From Day One, he’s made it clear—all he cares about is winning. And the Bulls’ time to do that when it matters most is right around the corner.

6-24 Finals MVP<2011 NBA MVP

[Tymon]

He's not on Jordan's level YET?

YET?

He's never going to be on Jordan's level, get real.

Jordan is the most efficient player in the history of the NBA.

He doesn't even play Jordan's position, even though he shoots like he does.

[Akiyama]

Yeah.. just like it's too soon to say he's near Jordan's level, it's also too soon to say that he'd never get around it. Granted I don't think that'll happen. LeBron/Kobe are/were the closest I think to get there, but D. Rose has had his game grow up as he's been in the league.

But yeah, I doubt Pippen's gonna be like "Hell yeah Rose is better than I ever was, yo." He's gotta be positive lol

[Tymon]

Think of it this way, Kobe is most likely the second greatest SG in NBA history.

Look how far away he is from Jordan's achievements, hell, even his stats.

Jordan averaged 37 points with 5 assists and 5 rebounds, shooting 50% from the field. That was one of his least efficient seasons. 27 shots a game.

Efficiency wise, his best season was in 95-96, with 31 PPG, 7 RPG, 5 APG on 50% FG, 44% 3P, 22 shots per game.

Kobe in 05-06 had 35 PPG, with 5 RPG and 4 APG on 27 shots per game. 44% FG.

However on career Kobe is nearly 6 PPG lower than Jordan in averages, and nowhere close defensively, averaging over 2 steals per game less than Jordan

Jordan has 6 Finals MVPs, a DPOY almost entirely from picking people's pockets, and was All-NBA first team both offensively and defensively for something ridiculous like 6 or 7 straight years

I could go on, but I would just start looking even more obsessed.

Basically, look at the canyon of difference between #1 and #2 at that position alone. The sheer body of work required to even start to be considered on the same page is so unfathomable I really doubt it will ever happen.

Baby Jordan gonna bring Sexy back you just watch.
