Nice mix and homage to mr. rose. Glad no video of his private activities!
My fear for rose if if he loses a step he is the next incarnation of Penny Hardaway or Steve francis. Guys with big contracts a shell of their former selves who never developed fundamentals to compensate for the loss of quickness and explosive athletic prowess.
He reminds me of University of North Carolina's Phil Ford who was an amazing slasher who got the snot beat out of him as he punished his way to the rim. Phil, Tiny Archibald, Pearl Washington, and a host of others had something Rose does not: A good/great outside shot.
Rose will bull his way to a floater or stop on a dime with a quick mid jumper ( a good thing mind you)but it just beats his legs to death.
Rose can still be special, but unless he is an outside threat, he will wear out. And we'll be paying him. He is playing for contract and it might not be in his best interests to reinvent his game this year.

I mean he doesn't have the explosion of his MVP year but still it's very explosive compared to other guards

So explosive that every time you wonder when his legs will explode... Scary...

Welcome Poohdini1 and nice work on the Video!!! I read your posts on the Bulls Forum and felt your pain after the trade. I'm actually glad that Rose is here. Too often people talk about what he can't or doesn't do, but for me I like to point out that Rose can be a very big weapon come playoff time. I don't think people should underestimate that you need players like him at that time. KP, Melo and Rose will be much needed when you get to a 7 game series and they have to raise their game a level or 2. The regular season is rough on guys like that but I think it's going to give the Knicks an edge come playoff time. They just have to get their act together now and get IN THE PLAYOFFS. They're not far off if they can buckle down, give effort and execute.
