Penny would have been Lebron-like before Lebron.
But then Lebron would've come thru and surpassed him
Lebron still hasn’t surpassed penny in overall skill.
He’s just gotten his jump shot together this year and has never had handles or a post game like penny.
Lebrons has great accomplishments though.
And back to Rose....
The only thing that really sets Rose apart from other great PGs of this era or the past is his athleticism.
If never heard anyone say rose was a great playmaker/shooter or defender.
But he gets the “most athletic” “most explosive” “fastest” point guard label all day.
Rose was one of the most exciting players to watch In nba history during his MVP year but let’s not act like he was a potential “all time great” talent like Penny or Kobe was early in their careers.
