PrintI love lists, I love the Bulls. What better way to join the two in holy matrimony? Also, this is going to be long, so bear with me.

I had originally meant to scour some gamethreads and such for hilarious comments but the search function sucks and we post a lotttt. Just like to extend my thanks to YFBB for being the most unfriendly, pessimistic, surly, sarcastic and IMO best basketball blogger out there. It takes a special brand of nerd to do this job and I'm glad it's not me keeping the trolls at bay. Happy New Year's to all of BaB land.

Thanks a lot.
I had finally gotten over my addiction to Rose’s flush on Dragic and now I must watch it 30 more times. :P

Great job man, this was fun to look over
Especially that Hinrich cartoon, I totally forgot how funny that was.

good work
I missed the Taj game, and never have time to see the video… thanks! Love that look he gave Korver!
That was hilarious.
What a year!

I just realized something..
Stacey King is to Derrick Rose is what Joniak is to Devin Hester. They both go hand in hand. I swear King is turning into one of the best color analyst in the business.
Hey Rose. I don't see the appeal!
Certainly the best color analyst in Chicago, though that's not saying much.
Commentators can either be really insightful or just delightfully cheesy. King has chosen to be the latter and I’m happy for it.

Which is funny because I think Hester and Rose are very similar too
Freaky athletes with a tendency to wow the crowd, very humble, not exactly the most compelling interviews

Did you see Hester breaking down after the vikes game?
Heart warming shit.

Yep, love Hester. He's a monster

Hester's way worse than Rose
Rose comes off as shy and humble. Hester comes off as inarticulate and dumb.
Pat Riley is the devil.
but, you know, in a heart warming way

Is Hester faster than Rose?
The Miami Heat: Like ants and a magnifying glass. ... OH NO! CHRIS BOSH’S BEAUTIFUL FACE!!!!!!!!
Ooooohhh a Hester/Rose race.
That sounds like a good idea for a stunt/promotion.
Pat Riley is the devil.
Do NBA players run a 40 at the predraft camp? Hester ran a 4.27 I think.

Draftexpress says he ran a 3/4 court sprint in 3.05
I have no idea what that means in comparison to a 40 time.
Pat Riley is the devil.
An NBA court measures 94 feet long,
so .75(94)=70.5ft.
70.5/3=23.5 yards.
So Rose ran a 3.05 second 23.5 yard dash, which theoretically translates to a 5.19 second 40 time. Clearly, Rose didn’t take the 3/4 court sprint seriously, at all.
NBA players can't compare to NFL players for straight line speeds at any distance
It’s not really a useful skill in basketball, where as sprinting 30-50 yards happens all the time in football. Brian Urlacher would probably have a good chance to outrun Rose in a 40 yard dash.
However, your estimate is going to be really high. The beginning of a 40 yard dash is the slowest part while the player is accelerating. You’re much faster after about the half way point.
It's not that useful of a skill, but most NBA players are still pretty fast.
Pat Riley is the devil.
Fast compared to you and me
Not compared to NFL players, where running is the main skill for many players.
My buddy told me about Steve Nash betting his Suns teammates that none of them could crack a 4.6 40 time, and he won. Tommie Harris ran a 4.6 40 time. Now true, Tommie Harris was a freak athlete, but that length of run is just not something NBA players need to do or practice.
It doesn't work like that
The distance it takes Rose to reach top speed should be the same whether he’s running a 40 or a 20 yard sprint. So you can’t do an equal proportion because it would measure him taking longer to accelerate for farther sprints
Rose before hoes

3.05 is one of the fastest times compared to other players
I’m pretty sure he was trying.
Pat Riley is the devil.
I'm not saying he didn't try.
But NFL pre-draft trainers have draftees work on their sprint stance for weeks, as that initial explosion is huge. Derrick’s naturally super fast and probably just showed up and did it. I doubt basketball players really work that hard on their pre-draft stuff outside of the vertical, and they probably don’t even train for that.
That said, I think you guys missed my overall point. Derrick probably is in the same league as most of the NFL guys, but the 40 isn’t an accurate representation of on-field speed, as they don’t really get to explode like they do in the actual 40, and they’re wearing pads and such. If Rose trained to run the 40 properly, he’d likely have sick numbers.
Awesome FanPost, Ozzie.
I got the skills to pay the bills and that's about it

I called you an asshole, then removed it because I thought it would hamper my chances for a front page.
Turns out I should have been meaner.

blame Sports2 for the lack of front-paging
I would’ve been fine with either degree of insult :)
