if Rose was able to win 5 rings as the best player on the Bulls, I don't think it would be a debate hahaha.

Perhaps not to people who use cognitive thought, but there will be biased people who do nothing more than count rings and overrate Pippen just because they are old timers.

Rose is already the 2nd best offensive player in Bulls' history. And if I was deciding between a rookie Pippen or Rose to start a franchise with... Picking Rose is a no-brainer.

well.. yeah... Pippen didn't even really play in his rookie year and didn't even become the Pippen we all know today until his 3rd-4th year in the league.

so taking their first 3 years, it's obviously Rose.

But putting Rose ahead of Pippen now all-time as a Bulls player is just either assuming Rose is gonna continue to be this good for many years [with the Bulls] and will win a lot, and get a lot of accomplishments, etc.

That's just too much to assume..

I'd rather wait it out about 2-3 more years

Didn't you hear? This will all be written in stone somewhere, and it will never change. We must figure it out now.

In the meantime, we need to address whether Jerry Krause's funeral will be in his favorite fishing lake, or behind the grease pit at McDonalds.

I lol'd

Is there any reason to think that Rose won't be this good in the next few years? He's just touching his prime as a player. Imo you're right...he won't be this good, he'll be better. As for championships, yeah he might not get any, but that really shouldn't factor is as much as it will. As for accomplishments...what more can we ask for? He's already got ROY and MVP in his 3rd year. I guess he'll just keep racking up the All Star games and perhaps another MVP or two if he's lucky. He's already got more MVP's than Pippen...:shifty:

well he could get seriously injured...


or we can bring in another all-star [maybe a 2 guard] and Rose's numbers will suffer and he wouldn't look as good as he did when he was taking 20 shots per game.

anything can happen in the next few years.

I'm not going to assume that Rose is going to continue to be great or get even better..

I'm gonna hope he does... but having this discussion is a little premature imo.

Yeah I guess he could Jay Williams or something dumb like that. I don't think Rose would do something like that though. But still, even as is, Rose is pretty darn good.

I said it before and ill say it again, scottie pippen is the most underrated basketball player ever. Rose is gonna have to do a lot to overtake pippen. Pippen was a great basketball player. I honestly see rose evolving into an allen iverson type player. And iverson has an mvp and a few scoring titles. And I still wouldn't put him ahead of pippen.

But if rose has a career similar to iverson and wins a few championships in the process, id give him the nod over pippen.

Rose isn't a better offensive player than pippen. He's better at attacking the basket and that's about it.

I think Rose is more Dwyane Wade than Iverson personally...I think offensively he is a better player than Pippen...Pip never garnered the attention of defenses the way Rose does, even in Pip's prime. And I still say Rose doesn't have to win titles to be better than Pippen...those were Jordan's titles, he was the man. Rose doesn't have a Mitch Richmond, let alone a Jordan.
Is Parish greater than Robinson? Rodman better than Barkley? I don't think so. All 4 are great players...but I can say from watching all 4, I would take David Robinson over Parish and I would take Barkley over Rodman...yet Rodman and Parish have rings...that changes nothing for me...Notice Shaq was on the top 50 list too, at that time, he had won no titles...yet he was considered already an all time great.

Is Derrick Rose the 2nd greatest player in franchise history, already? Or does he need to add a few more years to his resume?

Scottie helped win 6 titles, but he was the 2nd man. Rose, as the main man, led the Bulls to the best record in the league and has won an MVP - something Scottie didn't do.

Is Rose the 2nd best Bull of all-time? If not, what would it take. Does he need to win a title?

I was thinking about it and wanted to throw it out there.

Roe will overtake pippen when he becomes 6 foot 7, becomesa the best defender in the league and has 7 championship rings....Oh well, I guess it just won't happen....Pippen will remain number 2 in bulls history...Sorry guys nice try...But don't worry, Derrick Rose will become the 3rd best bull in history...That's pretty nice ain't it?????..I see you guys are trying to get under my skin...I like Derrick Rose but he is no Pippen and certainly not Jordan.....This thread should be deleted just like y'all deleted my "94 bulls vs 2011 bulls in 7 game series the sequel" thread..That was a dirty trick you guys played on me...:flipa::flipa:

You do a horrible job of analyzing the past...but we are supposed to take your word for it concerning the future? I don't think so.

I think its fairly obtuse to say that Rose won't be better than Pippen because he is not as tall as Pippen...give me a break.
