D-Rose or Prime Zeke?

[Mass Debator]

Team consists of:
Ray Allen
Shane Battier
Chris Bosh
Chris Birdman Andersen

Everyone in their prime. Derrick Rose or Isiah Thomas, who ya got to complete this line up?

[nightprowler10]

Rose hasn't hit his prime yet, so I don't know. But I think in most cases I would take one of the greatest PGs of all time.

How great do you think Rose's peak will be?

[Mr Exlax]

I like that you gave me the other players on the team. That's what I hate the most about these kinds of threads. Give me Zeke though.

[get these NETS]

team you described sounds a lot like a typical pistons lineup during bad boy era

bosh=laimbeer ....deadly outside shooter
birdman=spider salley hustler on glass and defense

ray and shane= somewhat similiar to vinnie j. and dumars



have to pick Isiah


Rose is a good player but Isiah's teams went to war against and BEAT the teams featuring Jordan,Bird and Magic .

Rose has had regular season success...that's it

With low efficiency scoring being roughly equal, edge would have to go to the guy who had superior defense and pg skills.

Nice photo of Zeke with some fan. What was the question again ?

The Zeke-mold pg's are perpetually overrated. He was primarily relying on teammates to win his two titles there is no question Rose would have won as many with those teammates. In basketball the game comes down to which teams score more points and clearly Rose is going to help you there more than Zeke.

the center that operates outside and doesn't clog the lane

laimbeer wasn't a post presence and neither is bosh

[demons2005]

People picking Zeke are misinterpreting this thread. It's not "Whose supporting cast most closely resembles these 4 players" it's who would you take on this team. Just because Isiah played with similar players doesn't mean he's the better pick.

isiah was a STAR player......from the giddy-up

once his team got balance ......he became a champion


watch the duel with he and peak bernard king in playoffs to see my point about him being a legit star



and for the record....if the game comes down to more points......why didn't the up and down Nash era Suns.....or the up and down 80s Nuggets....or the up and down fast pace Mavs ..ever win ANYTHING?

stop playing, please
