Re: Derrick Rose Signature Skills

i'm not a rose fan, i just respect his game, the guy is the best point guard in the league, we will just agree to disagree i see.... no problem, nash is not even in the same class as rose bro,

I think Rose is better than Nash too but a lot of you guys immortalize Rose and act like he's better than every other player at his position at everything, which just isn't the case.

he averages 22 ppg because hes practicaly the only player chris paul can rely on to put the ball in the basket.

He averaged more points per game without Chris Paul as a rookie.

LOL @ people saying Blake can only dunk

Get a clue. You don't average 22+ PPG by only dunking.

That's what happens when people get posterized alot. They said the same thing about Vince Carter.

Best point guard in the game? Deron Williams, Chris Paul, Rajon Rondo, and Steve Nash say hello. I would even argue LeBron James does Rose's job at point forward better than Rose does at point guard.

There's nothing wrong with getting most of your points off dunks. He makes good off-ball moves to the basket and finishes strong. He also has a go-to spin with his back to the basket where he finishes around the rim.

He has an extremely shaky jumper, as noted when the Clippers faced the Grizzlies in the playoffs. All of Blake's points came 5 feet and in.

Good God no. Everyone knew Vince Carter had a perimeter game. The point people always made was that he relied to much on 3 pointers as he was often content to just jack those up.

People continue to ignore the fact that Griffin has good footwork, is a very good passer (for his position), has excellent body control (in particular in the air) and has some of the best handle in the business (amongst bigmen). Dunking the basketball and having a high motor are his most overt qualities, but he can do more than just that.

Side-note: I like how they're scaling back the player ratings bit by bit, which "look" more reasonable to the eye.

Re: Derrick Rose Signature Skills

This is where you're incorrect.

You made a thread, correct?

I didn't originally see Rose's rating at a 92. I did the math between his Offensive rating and Defensive rating and got 90.

Then I edited it with his OVR being 92 after I saw what his rating is in the picture.

I saw people in here ask questions about his Sig. Skills after I initially posted. I copied from YOUR thread so anyone that entered after me would see and not have to continue asking what Rose's Signature Skills were.

Maybe this is where you think I purposely edited my post maliciously to deter people from acknowledging your post.

We posted at the exact same time, so I didn't even pay attention to your post until after the fact.

Nah, I didn't make a thread, I just posted in this one. Doesn't matter anyway, it's not a big deal.

This would be a credible rebuttal if he played with Paul in his rookie season..

Damn, 2k is going to be great with these sig skills.

Hopefully once Madden finishes OL - DL Interaction and Running Animations they throw in signature skills.

They really separate the bad from the good from the great.

That's early in his career when he tried to prove he could do more than just dunk. Most people I know always give me the "all he could do was dunk" speech.

Also, I think Blake should have at least a B HNDL rating. The dude can handle the ball very well for a big man.

Re: Blake Griffin & Michael Jordan Signature Skills from PAX '12 Live Stream

I'm more worried about his "Defense - 79" rating...

Less than 1 block and 1 steal per game and if you watch him play its obvious his interior defense doesn't match his athleticism.

Concerning the conservation about offensive side of the ball, he simply lacks the post game of the other elite forwards (became very obviously in the series against Memphis) and the way he flops around the rim is really annoying to watch.

I will agree that he is a really good passer for his position and obviously is one of the more efficient scorers around the rim. He just needs to improve his post game and get a jump shot to be a real threat on the offensive end when the playoff defense shows up.

If Blake can't post up and can't make jumpers, how the hell does he score outside of dunks?
