Prime Rose vs current Westbrook 1-on-1

[stevieming]

I think the average fan gets taken in by a players demeanor of how strong they are with displays of aggression and attitude...

Don't' get me wrong Westbrook is no weakling, but he ain't bullying Rose....

Rose is really strong, some of his layups and shot are pure upper body strength, and Westbrook will not be able to post on him.

I would take Prime Rose against Westbrook...

[AintNoSunshine]

I will prolly take DRose in a game of one on one

[Uncle Drew]

I'd go with prime Jalen.

Westbrook is too much of a savage in the game of basketball. Rose wouldn't even take the challenge if I'm being honest.

[West-Side]

Westbrook is the better defender, so him.

Doesn't look it in this pic. Perspective?

old ass pic, wb got bigger

[Pointguard]

Westbrook is bigger than Rose

Also Delly also defended Curry well

I never said anything about defending Curry well. I said wore him down. Biiiig difference.

Rose build is obviously more barrel chested. He has bigger calves and is constantly initiating contact with PF's and it doesn't affect his shot. Rose plays a more physical game.

If it's game 11, Westbrook wins 11-9
If it's game 16, Westbrook wins 16-13
If it's game 21, Westbrook wins 21-15

He will wear Rose down. Westbrook never tires.

If it's game 21, Westbrook wins 21-15

He will wear Rose down. Westbrook never tires.

Agreed and as another poster above said, 2011 MVP Rose wasn't really his peak. I think he had room to improve but injuries hampered us a chance at seeing peak Rose who I believe could have averaged 25/4/7-8 for a few years in a row.

Westbrook is an absolute freak of nature at the PG position. He's like the modern day Big O.

Actually, I think they have never played one on one in their lives. They are actually talking about wearing out a professional player in 21 point game? Never mentioning skill or anything else. I can see never playing organized ball, but not having played 1 on 1 is really weird, but ish has them.

Always felt he was overrated even in 2011. His legacy just grew since then as now people see him in an almost mythical light. Westbrook is a better player than him in almost all aspects which is not a fault of Rose. His true prime was robbed from him. Forget Westbrook now, I believe Westbrook back in 2011 was basically just as good as Rose.

nonsense, both are professional ballers, neither will get tired to 11, 16 or 21...

I don't think fatigue will come into it on one game of one to one...

Rose is still my favorite player in the league today but this... is really true.
