Seriously, the facts back up that he is the best out there. He averages almost a triple double. The season is over. Get over the hate. You almost think this guy is named Osama.
You can look at individual statistics all you want but without championship rings on those fingers, there just cannot be any comparison to the greats who have. Championships matter. They always will.

Actually he doesn't.

Just because he's a stat-padder doesn't make him the "best" out there. The best right now is the guy with the MVP trophy.

Derrick Rose is a good player no doubt but completely overrated. He isn't even the best player at his position. Note the only reason he got it was because he was the best player on the team with the most wins. End of story.

Don't worry Lebron will have one before he retires. He is only 26... plenty of years left barring any true injury.

Championships matter to a degree. But it still doesn't discredit players who didn't earn one like Stockton, Malone, Miller, Barkley, etc. Championships are about the TEAM not the PLAYER. It just means the PLAYERS that earned one had good/great TEAMMATES.

I was talking about Dirk.

Rose earned his regular season MVP.

My bad. Postseason MVP is a given; the MVP trophy goes to the winning team. Dirk was the most deserving from that team; thus, his win of the trophy.

Thanks for clearing that up for me bro. Did you also alert the other guy that posted it after I did, or am I special?
