Derrick Rose said one of his goals for his rookie season is to be MVP of the league. He knows that talk is a little crazy. But he's also not going to give it up. Asked what kind of player he expects to be in the next five years, he said: "Not a star, but like, a superstar. Something around, like, Chris Paul, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, something like that." You know how loves to hear that list? Paul Pierce. Two months ago, no way he makes the cut.

I won't be surprised...
if Rose fails a drug test after a statement like that.

At least he backs statements
like that up with a good work ethic. Why not shoot high? It won’t happen outside a miracle, but statistically he is better at the odds than any of us are. He worked his way to the championship game in college and to the top end of the draft. He didn’t do that by setting low goals.
Everything I post is speculation. I have no insider information nor ideas deemed concrete enough by those who are self-elected to regulate post content.

I'll be shocked if he wins ROY
He’s gonna have some good competition in Beasley and Oden.
And I think it will be easier for those two guys to have statistically better years

I love it.
When I watch NBA games I often call the fouls before the referees do. Sometimes it’s a gift. Most of the time it's troublesome. - NBA Observer
