Who is the GOAT? The Greatest of all time is an age old conversation among many NBA fans. Lebron or Jordan is the peak of this debate. However, is Michael Jordan even the best Bulls player of all time?
Sure, Jordan won three rings in a row, twice. Maybe he has the highest career average points per game at 30.12 ppg. He won the scoring title 10 times, MVP five times, and DPOY one time. With all that being said is he even the best player in his franchise history?
Insert a young Derrick Rose, 6'2 but can jump over an elephant. Rose comes into the league full force, winning rookie of the year. Two years later becoming the MVP and leading the Bulls to the one seed. Derrick Rose is arguably the best player, who's all-star career got cut short due to major injuries. The ridiculous nature of who Rose was before the injuries, may be a better basketball player than the GOAT himself Jordan.
Yes, this guy lead his Bulls team to the one seed over the Lebron lead Heat, the Tim Duncan Spurs, the Dirk Mavericks, the Kobe Lakers, Carmelo's Nuggets, the three headed monster of Boston, Dwight's Magic. Yes Drose carried a team with the second best players being Joakim Noah and Carlos Boozer. And yes, Derrick was 22 when all this happened. YES, he probably would have been better than Jordan.
