You listen to guys like Skip Bayless who says he's a SG playing PG, and it's just ridiculous. Am I saying he's on the level of CP3 or Deron Williams in that regard? No I'm not. But there's clearly a difference between Rose and Westbrook, despite all of their athletic similarity. Rose knows how to control tempo...one of the most important aspects of being a PG. And he did average like 8 assists last year.

I wasn't even one of the guys who said he shouldn't be a floor general.. To me being a floor general isn't necessarily setting up your teammates or getting the assists and what not, the term "floor general" to me means a guy who leads the team and trys to set the tempo/pace.. To me Rose does that and should be a floor general..

That being said, Rose isn't much of a playmaker. He is great at making plays for himself but not so much to others.. He's a great player and no doubt the leader of the Bulls team but the majority of his assists come from him passing out of traffic.. He doesn't pass to set people up or makes plays from their offense very much.. He passes when somebody stops him from scoring.. When he's cut off and can't get the shot himself.. That's not the definition of a playmaker.. No, he's doesn't look for his own shot quite as much as Westbrook does but he still does it quite often..

Also his MVP was a joke.. Pretty much voting fatigue for LeBron and the fact that everybody wanted to hate him that year is the only reason it wasn't given to him..

IMO the bulls would have been better off keeping Hinrich and moving Rose to the SG spot.. At least then they wouldn't be in the struggle they're in now to find a good SG

OK, I'll try.
Jordan was deadly every time he stepped on the court; No need to get hot with "Microwave."
And "Highlight Film" is for players who try to make the fanciest dunk every time they went up; Jordan was about finishing. It just looked pretty because he had so much hang-time.

Hopefully Kobe has a "WTF" sig skill which will allow him to make shots that no man should ever make....

So the Bulls finishing with the best record in the league with him averaging 25 and 8 with 3 wins over the Heat wasn't a factor? Ok...

That's true.. But all I can say is somebody with the "microwave" skill should never be allowed to get any "hotter" than MJ at his hottest just because he doesn't have it..

And I really hope the younger Jordan (if he's still on the game) has the highlight reel skill.. He definitely needs it.. The 90s Jordan I can live without him having it..

Jordan should just be allowed to have more than 5 skills lol.. I'm sure those aren't even the only 2 I could see adding to him, he's so complete.. I'm hoping, since I heard 5 was the max, that more can be added through hex/reditor
