i see what you tried there, but that is a horrible comparison man sorry.....
Chris Paul is one of the most unique point guards to ever play the game, Steve Nash level court vision and passing ability is what allows him to remain one of the top PG in the world even without the full use of his athleticism.... D. Rose is nowhere near that level of PG skills and never will be, because that type of skill set is something you're born with not something you learn.....
best way I could put it is D. Rose is basically a bigger stronger Allen Iverson, all of AI's strengths without any of the weaknesses... which is scary insane because AI is arguably the greatest scorer in NBA history simply because he defied logic with his size but insanely unbelievable ability to get to the hoop and finish for such a small player, but nothing else really, bit of midrange jumpers but what does that mean to a 6 footer really anyway.... that's what I meant when i said if D.Rose was taller and bigger it would be game over, like a second coming of MJ in Chi Town... i mean shit, imagine is AI was 6'7 and 215, gotdamn!
but look at what's happening to AI now that he's not as fast and athletic as he used to be and the brain has stopped clicking and reading situations like before, dude's playing in Turkey
and MJ is fckin MJ nuff said.... also he was 6'6 and 220lbs which makes it a lot easier on a player to revert to a simpler style of play, imagine Rose trying to body and post up and fade away on players, too small too skinny, and jumper isn't there. .... And Kobe has MJ's skill-set and size so the same goes for him.
hey btw guys, i just got my copy yesterday, am about half way done reading, yall need to go pick this up!
