We Are Envious of Derrick Rose's Jumping Ability

This past Saturday number-one ranked Memphis rocked Gonzaga, and Derrick Rose nearly had a triple double (19-9-8). (He also had a ridiculous buzzer beating tip dunk off a Joey Dorsey missed lay-up to end the first half - look it up - someone must have put it on youtube by now). Rose has been the catalyst for his team all year, and let me be the first to say it: he's the reason Memphis will WIN the NCAA tournament.

He's better than O.J. Mayo, Eric Gordon, Kevin Love and Michael Beasley. He's the best freshman in America, and the first player, if we were picking, to be taken in the 2008 NBA Draft. So far, the odds are in the favor of the Miami Heat winning that ignominious distinction. Can you imagine a back court of Rose and Dwayne Wade? It would be sick, with the added bonus that they're both Chicago boys. I bet Pat Reilly wouldn't flake out on that squad.
