I love how every DRose plays show us DRose is actually faster than you think in his prime

[@im_Sarma]

i always thought he was the fastest in the league. prime john wall was the only one that could go head to head with him

[@andycarollsuarez]

Faster than DWade The Flash. Really unfortunate he got the nasty injury.

[@AnthonyParrilloRI]

Not just fast, quick, crazy acceleration

[@im_Sarma]

[@therealjoelsalazar]

i cant help but be overcome with sadness everytime i watch him land knowing these plays and his intensity was just a ticking time bomb for his body. his mental was too much for our fragile bodies to handle and thats what made him great he was a straight killer. overall i am just glad he got his bag and we witnessed one of the most gifted athletes ever.

[@hakeemx791]

He getting checks still 🔵🟠🔵🟠

[@stefanpapdi5151]

It wasnt his playstyle or body, he just got unlucky at the end of a playoff game. His coordination was never the same and thats why all his subsequentional injuries happened. If he didnt tear his acl he wouldnt have had other injuries, not playing for 2 years is what cost him to lose his form and fitness

[@testikuskitestdrivr6012]

Nah man, accidents happen and when you do stuff on another level, they can happen more often. The parket is bouncy, this isn't street basketball, today they know how to do recovery, this isn't 80s nba.

[@stefanpapdi5151]

@@testikuskitestdrivr6012 No bro they happen less, its the opposite of what u say. Its a product of playing basketball that doesnt rly depend on ur athletic level. Durability is a part of athleticism balance and everything. They often use much less force than people think, amare was on sport science once and they thought he would be jumping with 700+ pounds of force but he was at 300-400 because they use more efficiently the energy and thats why it also looks faster/more violent. Just look at Zion at duke he had so much balance his glutes are like a second core and when he lands he doesnt even use heels cuz hes just pure agile and super balanced like a tree. I dont worry for him at all

[@callmemingus5088]

One of my all-time favorite Bulls players. Handles, hops, could change direction on a dime, could find another gear to pass his opponent, he never quit on a play...and incredibly humble. This video is proof that I'm not remembering him wrong.

He's my favourite but there's no way D Rose changes the league. He does something only insanely athletic people can do but Curry showed the league that 3s>2s isn't just a meme.

[@cottonmather8146]

@@Monkey_D_Luffy56 If Bulls meet the Warriors in 2015 and are healthy, they beat them. Bulls were about to go up 3-1 against the Cavs if Lebron doesn't hit that buzzer beater. Bulls would've had a good chance against the Warriors that year

[@averagedude4943]

Make the finals at best but never win.

[@jimmymeinhart4265]

The demeanor too. No corny or over-the-top grandstanding like so many others. I'll always remember the 2012 All-Star introductions with everybody acting like complete fools while he just stood there. Humble, but the way he played exuded insane amounts of flair. Already stone cold at 22.

[@davidflores0227]

KZbin really is a time machine. For us newer fans who never really got to experience his prime, thank you.

[@rawjhaw]

absolutely. I wasn't watching pro ball for that stint of time back then. I only heard his name... until a couple years ago when I discovered some highlight video of his here on YT. Just from those videos, I was able to ascertain that he is one of my top 3 fave players of all time.

[@anthonyperez711]

I live in Chicago, born in 93, so I missed pretty much all of the Jordan era. Was 5 years old when he won’t his final championship. Happy and saddened to be able to Rose those in my life.

The most underrated part of his game was the pace and patience in certain moments he had the ball…. He just knew exactly when you change direction and speed up everytime. And was an underrated defender.

D Rose's story hits home. I tore my ACL when I was 19 - and although I wasn't on track to make the NBA, still, I never got the chance to reach my athletic potential in basketball, tennis and other sports I love. I've been a shell of my former self ever since. It's heartbreaking. But yeah - watching this man operate on the court was a sight to behold. Top 3 fave players of all time.

[@RiriSeven5625]

today, he's the opposite version of what he is before. he's just super raw as rookie having less finesse, less technique, his jumpshot is ugly but he's darn great. everything he does just has so much power. from a simple left-right cross to his finishes. not to mention he's a natural acrobat in the air and has a giant-killer floater. now he use his explosion when he needed to and developed more finesse and technique and now has a reliable jumpshot. goes to show that he's a real student of the game.

[@davidgymrat]

DRose is the only player I've seen with the mentality of driving to the basket with sheer determination. Kids nowadays will never comprehend how much he inspired hoopers aging between 20-40. Just like how everybody was mimicking Curry's 3s, we were all storming that paint trying to be like him.

[@invictuz4803]

Prime DRose was on a different level than everyone else. Just as clutch as MJ, but quicker.

The sad thing is that would have never been his prime if he hadn't gotten injured. His prime would have been a good 3 years or so after the season he tore his acl.
