Brehs last nights game had me thinking... What would have happened if Derrick Rose wouldn't have got injured
He was my favourite player till he got injured and was then out for 2 years for two separate injuries!
Would he have won another MVP? Would Chicago be number 1 in the east over the Cavs?
Here's his MVP highlights to jog y'alls memory as some people seem to have forgot how good he was!
That's a what-if question that is moot. He got injured and re-injured.

I've been watching him play and he's dialed back on his show-boating ways, like he'll do a lay-up instead of a rim-shaking jam. Saves his knees and joints with the gentle landing. He's playing 1950 Hoosier's style basketball now.

the homerism and stupidity in this post :russ: You seriously saying he should have stayed with the cavaliers just because he was already there and the best teammate he ever had was mo Williams? You gonna ignore how massive a handicap having erik spoelstra as a coach is? the bulls never sign top tier free agents, and their owner is never willing to pay the tax anyway. bron owns the bulls. always has and always will :yeshrug:. Besides, pau was
basically a lock to come to Miami had LeBron stayed anyway :heh:.
2-4 :troll: Ppl acting like drose would've never improved his game are retarded. And somehow butler wouldn't be good because rose was there with him are retarded. Win an MVP when you're 22 but somehow can't get better :comeon:. Lebron really got his dikk I'm some of your guys mouths. I don't even like Chicago. But to say they wouldn't have been able to compete for a championship with a healthy drose, butler, and pau.:martin: Drose didn't leave his hometown like a Lebytch did so I'll always have more respect for him. :manny:

yeah cause a healthy drose(MVP) improving his game the last 3-4 years along with butler and pau and some shooters couldn't win the east. :upsetfavre: And if they kept thibs too. How many healthy years did he have? 2 or3


Get Lebrons dikk out of your mouth. The only once in a lifetime player to run away to another city with other stars to win(and lose). :mjlol: Then come home and lose while you still have two stars:troll:

Not to mention a healthy drose would've attracted better free agents so the team might look even better. But like I said it's what COULD of been.
A healthier Rose could mean a better record which could also mean Butler and Pau may not even be there:manny:

Lebron owns the Bulls and Rose included.

Butler probably wouldn't have exploded onto the scene because Rose would still be handling the rock way more.

Nothing changes. The Bulls weren't better than Miami Heat ever even with healthy Rose.

They might have been last year. :yeshrug:

but if he was healthy I think better players would've came to chi via free agency to play with a healthy drose. It's just dumb to think he couldn't have improved and he was already an MVP. 4 years ago if you said steph curry was going to be doing what he's doing now, would you have believed it?

adding rip gave the 2011-12 bulls a shot on the offensive end that they didnt have the year before. so say rose is 100% going into that conference finals and bosh misses the first 4 games like he did vs the celtics and is only able to come off the bench for a few minutes in game 5 assuming theres a game 5 that would be in chicago. still think chicago has no chance?

if they win they have homecourt in the finals vs okc. i like their chances especially with perkins probably playing over 30 minutes a game. that year was their best shot all things considered
.
Exactly. Bulls probably would have won a ring that season if Rose never went down, and this stupid 'lolz LeBron owns Rose' narrative wouldn't exist.

Not only that but if the Bulls didn't beat OKC in the Finals - we'd be talking about how Durant won a title before LeBron did too.

I'm a realist, we probably wouldn't have won anything. However if this was still the roster: MVP candidate Noah, emerging Jimmy, NBA JAM Nate coming off the bench, Belinelli and Mirotic on the way :ohlawd:

All of that with a prime Rose, we could've got the better of the 2014 Heat when it was just full on Lebronball with a crippled Wade and a day-to-day Bosh. We wouldnt have beat the Spurs tho
