Bulls vs. Celtics: Derrick Rose highlights - 25 points (1.13.12)

Derrick Rose had missed Wednesday's 78-64 win over the Washington Wizards with a sprained left big toe. But he wasn't fully recovered when he scored 25 points to lead Chicago to its 10th win in 11 games and an NBA-best 11-2 record.

People still debating whether Rondo is better than Rose are like flat-earthers.

[MrDimples932]

Rondooooooooooooooooooooooooo

@aaali1234 thank you

[aaali1234]

rondo shouldnt even be mentioned in the same breath as rose. he shoots worse than dwight howard at free throws and hes a point guard, enough said. He cant score nearly as good as rose. he turns the ball over more and only averages one more assist than rose and thats the one thing that hes supposedly better at. Rose is younger than rondo and never played with 3 hall of famer like rondo does. Rose kills rondo in literally every facet of the game.

[dmanit4life]

why do people say rondo is better? just cuz he has three hall of famers doesn't make him better. and once they retire, the celtics won't be good anymore. also, i don't know about anybody else, but i'd like to have a bigger stronger faster and better pg. just sayin' :P

@chiladin I didn't say that he will not be dominant. I said that he'll have to tweak his game a little (develop a new shot, broaden his vision, etc.). That's what MJ did when he lost his athleticism. You can't just play the same way throughout your career.. you have to adjust to the circumstances and I believe that Rose will succeed in doing that because like you said he really is a hard-working guy.

[sweatyshorts]

@MrNoShame17 Yeah, and I'm not even sure that's the case anymore. Last year, and definitely years before that, Rondo was CLEARLY the better "point guard," but Rose has stepped point guard abilities so much, he's probably better at this point at his position. Rose has him on "bette rplayer" though, no doubt.

[MrNoShame17]

@sweatyshorts rondo is a better point guard than rose

[chiladin]

@Panther016 That's inevitable for any athlete. PG's are always limited by the people they have around them. If he has some good shooters and post men around him he'll still be dominant at 30. Yeah 98% of the NBA athletes are in great condition but word is he's one of the hardest working players in the NBA. Stop setting future limitations for the guy and just enjoy him right now. Geesh!

[Panther016]

@chiladin but 98% of the guys in the NBA are in great condition.. I think he'll be ok for another 5 years or so, but when he hits the 30 mark his game is bound to change
