Authors Note:tis piece is an edited and extended version of my piece called "Who is better LeBron James or Derrick Rose?" please leave a comment telling me who you think is better.
Who is the better Nba player? LeBron James or Derrick Rose? If you ask me who is better between LeBron James and Derrick Rose I would say Derrick Rose is better. Other people might say LeBron James is better. When other people say LeBron better I think to myself why do they think this? The only answers that makes sense to me is they think LeBron is better because he is more recognized and is in more advertisements. Or they just don’t like Derrick Rose.
When people ask me why I like Rose more than LeBron I say well for starters he won the MVP award last year and led the Bulls to the playoffs basically by himself. Also I think he is better than LeBron because in his third year of playing in the NBA he won the MVP award. Whereas it took LeBron twice as long to accomplish this feat of winning it. Something that makes all that even more amazing is Derrick Rose has only been in the NBA for three years and he is still getting better.
Another thing that proves Derrick Rose is better than LeBron is the fact that LeBron only won four awards in his first two years and Rose has a total of eight. LeBron also has no loyalty. He proved this when he left his home town team the Cavaliers to team up with Chris Bosh and Dwayne Wade on the Miami Heat just because he thought he would have a better chance of winning an NBA title there. Where Derrick Rose almost in a similar situation in Chicago where the team has a couple of solid players like Luol Deng and Kyle Korver, but also a bunch of nobodies like like Kurt Thomas or John Lucas. He is staying in Chicago although he is only person that could be considered a person of “star” caliber on the team. Unlike LeBron Derrick is trying to make it work in Chicago and so far it has. The biggest reason that Rose is better than LeBron is because you get four quarters out of him whereas LeBron disappears in the fourth.
One reason that some people give me for LeBron being better is he won the rookie of the year award. Then I answer by saying so has Rose. Then the dumber LeBron fans say well LeBron won it first and I say well that’s because he was a rookie first. Also some people say LeBron has more blocks than Rose does, and I then say LeBron is supposed to have more blocks than Rose; he is more than a half a foot taller than him. The only reason they give me that I have to agree with is that LeBron is a better three point shooter than Rose, but if you give Rose a few years I'm sure he will improve his shot until its better than LeBron’s.
Yet even though I give them all those reasons that Derrick Rose is better they still look at me like I’m crazy for thinking he’s better than LeBron, but what I still don’t get is why after I’ve given them all those reasons is what is making them think that LeBron I better than Derrick Rose. Now just because Rose is better than LeBron it doesn’t mean LeBron is a bad player. Rose is just better and still getting better.
I'm going with Rose on this one. Your argument has persuaded an NBA-ignoramus such as myself.
ReplyDeleteI agree, D- Rose is better. I did not know about all of the awards that those two have won. Your argument persuaded me because I always thought that Lebron was better. Not that changed. Your grammar needs some work but overall it was a good piece.
