What If Derrick Rose Stayed Healthy?

Him and butler didn't gel to well although rise wasn't the same player

[@drew9597]

@@christianmarten4938 remember when Rose wore a mask. that was something lol

[@G_O-yt]

The thing with rose is that his play style was one that was bound to lead to injuries

[@christianmarten4938]

I agree that spurs series would be tough but spurs would still pull it off, and idk if Bron goes back to Cleveland if the powerhouse bulls

True that

[@abdulg4360]

Dude of all the talents in world Soccer why Townsend? I am curious to know the reasoning.

[@ArshdeepSingh-yl5fr]

A 25 minute vid from AFunkyDiabetic 😱 you love to see it!

[@Terror832]

It would be Rose vs Curry. The best point guard of the 2010s

[@kevincovino9986]

I honestly think rose would be better. I honestly think that there would be a chance rose would have won like 3 or 4 mvps if he shot the 3 like he did in 2018-2019 (37%)

[@flip-antonio8425]

Kevin Covino na Curry way better lol

[@TheMissinLink]

I still think currys crazy efficiency would keep him above Rose fairly easy. Even with all the amazing Points we have in today’s nba Curry is still the first name you would put on a list no questions asked. It’s a shame well never get to know though.

[@kohsmoger1567]

Kevin Covino I mean Steph is clearly better than Westbrook who is similar to rose.

[@kohsmoger1567]

Kevin Covino No the league moved away from slashing guards and non shooting guards. It’s one of the biggest knocks against Simmons. Also Rose ain’t topping 2016 curry unanimous mvp campaign

[@sebsmitty08]

When funky has a long vid, you know it is going to be fire

[@GrayMinemanLOL]

25 minute video about my favorite player ever? perfection

[@ArshdeepSingh-yl5fr]

If Derrick Rose stayed healthy throughout his whole career he’s a top 50 player of all time and top 3 PG in the league to this day 🔥

[@pierrelol8229]

Essentially imagine Westbrook with a mid solid/efficient jumper

[@davidfebreeze428]

SheLuvsJa and a Little better desicionmaking oh and more consistent defense

[@ArshdeepSingh-yl5fr]

David Febreeze not as good overall playmaking skills though

[@pierrelol8229]

David Febreeze you’re right, but I’m a Westbrook fan so let’s sweep that under the carpet shall we

[@davidfebreeze428]

Brandon not really he can be but unfortunately he takes roughly about 25-33 percent of defensive possessions off I mean I’ve seen him loose his man way more often for an open layup than d rose but Russ is more switchable I’d say one through three and d rose can guard guards

[@tmac731]

He would’ve been a 2x champion and 3x mvp by now. It would’ve been Lebron vs Rose for the East 2011-2018. And best PG in the NBA Rose vs Curry 2015-2020

[@mikeysbusy]

Ong rose is a demon 💯

[@dongjunkim6152]

Funky you’re gonna make my cry

[@jacobrobinson2434]

That spurs-bulls series would be a lot like the spurs-pistons finals in 05. That series was also basically a coin flip

[@jaysonwithay2347]

D rose gets at least 1 chip and at least 2 MVPs

[@AmericafirstAF]

THIS IS THE ONE I ASKED FOR ON TWITTER LETS GOOOO

[@drew9597]

if this version of the Bulls made it to the 2015 finals, I honestly think they would've won it against the Warriors

[@kohsmoger1567]

Nope. Memphis was a better team that that bulls team was

[@drew9597]

@@kohsmoger1567 they're not in the same conference...plus I'm talking about THIS version of the 2015 Bulls with THIS DRose

[@tj5180]

That bulls team would have won against warriors because they were a good defensive team coached by tom Thibodeau that time but its disappointing that d rose was injured or else the bulls in 2010 would have won some titles

[@christianmarten4938]

He definitely would be best point guard in the league, second or third best player

[@ArshdeepSingh-yl5fr]

No

[@TheMissinLink]

Ya no.

[@kohsmoger1567]

I’m not sure he’d be better than Steph or CP3 in their primes.

[@kohsmoger1567]

Also Kawhi and KD exist so no

[@saul-goodman]

[@botanionut5080]

i don't think im emotionally ready to watch a 25 min hypothetical about Drose

[@jplaya2023]

this is what would happen and im a bulls fan 2012 - we lose to miami in the ecf in 6 2013 - we lose to miami in the ecf in 7 2014 - we beat miami in the ecf in 6 and spurs in 6 in the finals 2015 - we beat gsw in the finals 2016 - okc wins the title over the bulls in 7 and KD stays 2017 - cleveland wins the title over okc in 7 2018 - bulls beat rockets to win the nba title in 6 2019 - bulls beat rockets to win nba title in 6

[@mikeysbusy]

Factsssss!!!!!!

[@TheNamesDitto]

20+ MINUTE VID NICE

[@Benjamin-lq1sf]

I honestly think we’ll never see another player like Derrick Rose. Hyper athletic point guards as good as him are once in a generation type players. His injury is probably one of the saddest NBA moments of the decade

[@lakernation26]

Westbrook? Ja morant

[@Terror832]

Never say never. Athletic PGs will always exist and be in huge demand in the pace and space era. Ja Morant is an athletic freak similar to Rose and plays with that same reckless abandon. Just hope that he doesn’t suffer a catastrophic injury.

[@Benjamin-lq1sf]

Killmonger 26 Westbrook is a good athletic pg like Rose but he really feels different to Rose. He just feels like way more of a selfish player tbh. And I think it’s too early to tell with Ja it still could be a Tyreek Evans or MCW situation with him where he just falls off next year

[@jorgeanta2912]

But Russ is literally the same type of player as rose extremely athletic explosive pgs who just so happened to have better landing mechanics and is more durable

[@juanfelipemontesdeoca4333]

@@Benjamin-lq1sf no he's not going to fall off because if you compare MCW with Ja their situations are different MCW was in the worst team of the league shooting 40 percent from the field, but Ja is leading a team to the playoffs in the western conference shooting almost 50 percent from the field as a 6'3 point guard

[@lucasbarker7674]

[@cameronthibodo1350]

All of this depends on how good D rose is tbh cause if he’s top 5 material than they beat golden State the first time.

[@Doknot-tb9ey]

Yes, Funky Luol Deng was traded during the 2013-14 season.

[@yngtonymontana8734]

Him and jimmy would be fucking ruthless🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[@christianmarten4938]

That would have been sick pacers vs bulls

[@Jayizzles]

The bulls always needed more from the shooting guard before Butler became anything to help D Rose. Literally anything than keith bogans and an old Rip! If they kept Ben Gordon with the defense they had in 2011 things may have been different

[@Lividdlife]

it doesn't matter if a team selects a certain player, its depended on how they develop that player.

[@braedenmoore1722]

This is a long vid funky damn

[@arionstarks4640]

That Bulls/Cavs series was crazy. Bulls were about to go up 3-1, but Lebron hit the game winner right in Jimmy Butler's face

[@jplaya2023]

can you do a 2k video on what if lebron james was drafted in the 1984 draft (Same draft as jordan) to the cavs. can you do a 2k video on what if magic and larry switched teams when they were drafted?

[@ballerbro9411]

I think his best shot at having a championship level team would’ve been with rondo wade and jimmy but you never know if he doesn’t get hurt maybe they get a superstar in free agency earlier

[@deepvoicedude4749]

One big effect could be less emphasis on shooting in today's NBA if the Warriors didn't run roughshed over the league.

[@zozoridgenal7894]

We would’ve snuck and won at least one but no more because Jerry John and gar wasn’t gonna do the job

[@obtuseangle14]

I feel my heart....... crack

[@Isaac-fx8dg]

Lmaoooo

[@landohudson5864]

Now we need what if lebron never left Miami 👌🏽

[@CidPerfect]

Then the Miami would’ve won at least 3 titles

[@kohsmoger1567]

CidPerfect Miami got their ass handed to them by the spurs. Wade was breaking down and Bosch was dealing with bloood clots.

[@edwardcui7535]

your talk about the 2014 spurs makes me question how NBA fans could possibly think the spurs were boring. I get that the 2007 finals was a snooze fest but that's just one series, if anything that was the cavs fault for not being able to surround lebron with reliable shooters.

[@t-god2439]

This is a hard topic I think bc of how d rose got hurt it wasent so much of his body being weak it was more about how he twisted and loved his body at such a rate like his injuries probably could have been avoided

[@Aiden-zr8sj]

Top 15 all time

[@zozoridgenal7894]

Best video ever

[@jesselancaster7]

It doesn't matter if Derrick Rose stays healthy or not LeBron makes 8 straight finals

[@theknickfan881]

[@mikeysbusy]

Hell Yeah

[@hunterweinmann7655]

This video is great

[@johndavis9321]

This is kinda random but does anyone know the name/style of haircut jimmy butler has at 13:19?

[@larrychristopher2833]

Idk man I feel like the Bulls would’ve beat the 2015 warriors. D Rose is a really good defensive point guard and I believe he’d be a matchup nightmare for curry especially if he had time to develop into a true prime Derrick Rose. Also based on what I’ve seen with matchups with him and Kyrie he does a really good job at slowing him down and with his athleticism not taking a hit in this scenario I can see him almost locking him down and that could be the difference in those potential cavs series

[@quinzellreese408]

Somebody should do a video on the team the cavs could have built through the draft when Lebron left in 2011 look at who they could have selected in 2011 they could have selected Kyrie with the 1st and Kawhi with the 4th, in 2012 they could have selected selected Harrison Barnes or Andre Drummond with the 4th pick and with the 33rd and 34th pick they could have selected Draymond Green and Khris Middleton, 2013 they could have drafted Victor Oldipoa and in 2014 they could have wrapped it up with embidd and kept joe Harris with their 2nd round pick

[@LaBronny]

25 mins letssss gooooo

[@ChrisbeFoSerious]

I think he’d have AT LEAST 1 Ring and 1 more MVP. At this point in his career he’d probably be on a team that desperately needed a star caliber PG, assuming the Bulls stopped being good and never trade him. I think he voluntarily would have signed with: 1. Orlando Magic (they would have thrown ALL. their money at him) 2. LA Lakers 3. New York Knicks (ALL the money) 4. 76ers (to contend, which he should still do now) 5. Whatever team Thibs or Butler end up being on.

[@ChrisbeFoSerious]

In their primes/healthy, I realistically would have loved to see the Bulls be: 1. Derrick Rose 2. Jimmy Butler 3. Jabari Parker 4. Paul Gasol 5. Joakim Noah 6. Nikola Mirotic

[@Baldinosalvador]

he has a better career than westbrook

[@moksori]

2011 Bulls started Keith Bogans lol

[@benjaminargueta8841]

Rose 🌹 was the time to tell y’all that we had to go home today to see if y’all can come get me tomorrow night I will let y’all be a little late I can go to the gym or just go get some stuff to go get some stuff done I don’t think I’ll get there I’ll see y’all there in the afternoon I love y’all

[@ProducoesBatata]

Kinda sad

[@gabe425]

Id take the Spurs in 2014 finals against anybody. That defense was insane. Danny Green and Kawhi Leonard were at the top of their games as far as defense goes, Diaw was great at defending the PnR and shut down the post very well, Duncan was still very good, Splitter was about as good as Jakob Poetl is about now, TP and Ginobili were solid too. I just dont see how Rose and the Bulls score against the Spurs when they cant get out of their own way with that terrible spacing.

[@growing.grounds4054]

It wasn’t Ronnie it was Keith bogans

[@Dakidpepe]

Too many what if in the NBA but he probably ends up like Westbrook which is good or bad.
