Yo CP3, I'm really happy for you. I'm gonna let you finish, but Tony Parker has one of the best teardrops of all time.

@iSOMAable yes when they finally added richard hamilton. And please back it up when the season is actually finished as Chris Paul and D-Will managed to get double double SEASONS running the offense for their teams respectively. D-Will made Boozer and his teammates better. Chris Paul made Tyson Chandler, David west and his teammates better. D-Rose just attracts double teams as a slasher so getting the ball to his open teammates with no defender is a no brainer.

@newagepun but you need to realize what drose is doing this year, he's bringing his assists up :) he got 5 double doubles this season so far w/ Pts + Assists.

[newagepun]

please understand kids, Derrick Rose, Rusell Westbrook, Brandon Jennings, John wall and some other players in the point guard position are not point guards. They don't get the entire team involved in the offense, rarely give their teammates great open looks and are way too inefficient. Guys like Chris Paul, Steve Nash, Deron Williams, Ricky Rubio, Chauncey Billups and to an extent Rajon Rondo are real pass first point guards.

[newagepun]

@justineheartsmac efficiency is the word you are seeking. Every pass first point guard HAS to be efficient to involve themselves and their teammates at the same time in the offense. Rose isn't even a point guard. He relies too much on his speed to create openings by going inside and drawing defenders to him. Deron Williams used boozer in the pick and roll much more efficiently as he also gave Booze lotsa great open looks. 11apg as oppose to a measly 8apg with rose and the cast he's around with.

I don't know why I didn't learn the frikin teardrop. I'm 5'9" I can use this to get over in a game where most of the guys are giants who can leap.
