[@coling957]

He was really good but Memphis had 2 other players go pro on that team.Great player

[@paoloalfante3801]

I think CDR played better than Rose for Memphis that game, but I blame the loss on UCLA Coach Ben Howland, he didn't know how to maximize NBA-type talent. He actually limited them.

[@stiffjabzz4237]

I saw Derrick live during the NCAA tournament in Houston and he would just rip defenses to shreds.

[@rkgsd]

Westbrook has had less injuries than Rose (and less severe). It almost seems Rose is cursed with bad health. Is it genetics or is he a victim of his own style of play? Too much twisting torque on the joints on some of his moves?

[@bullettomy7thheart]

The pure EXPLOSIVENESS and SPEED by Rose at 1:29. The dude was simply amazing.

[@fresh2defdj]

Damn that UCLA team had NBA players that are still getting heavy run in the NBA, Mbah Moute, Kevin Love, Collison and Westbrook...I miss Drose hitting that gear, he does it once in a while but you always see him out with soreness like 2 days later

[@lifestylechanges3739]

Watching this brings back memories since I am a native Memphian. That particular season the U of M Tigers was suppressed in the rankings almost all season long because of politics. They wanted UCLA to be above the Tigers! I was so happy when my team showed the world who was the better team!!! CDR (Chris Douglass Roberts) was the heart and soul of the team

[@grindhard4312]

Exactly!! I remember this! I'm from that metro area as well and remember how the "powers that be" were trying to play Memphis State all year! Too bad for them though LOL.
