In honor of D-Rose returning very soon (see you guys within the next two weeks ) I wanted to put him back in 'the convo'.

I know some of you are like "will he be the same?" and I'm like "will he be better". Adrian Peterson gives me hope. Besides, Shumpert doesn't look so bad. Rubio is looking better by the day (even outplayed Kyrie last night). So yeah, I'm just gonna cross my fingers and be optimistic.

We got Basa on board (except when he play vs Kyrie lol) so this should be a whole lot of fun!

With that said...Derrick Rose vs The World:

vs CP3 (5-0)

CP3 never beat him, hasn't had as much playoff success and doesn't have as many MVP's. Sorry Guinness...Paul has outplayed him head to head tho. Guess there's always that.

vs Deron Better (5-2)
http://www.basketball-reference.com/play-index/h2h_finder.cgi?request=1&p1=rosede01&p2=willide01
Rose always finds a way to embarrass this nigga but he's had a decent game or two against Rose...but it's mostly embarrassment.

vs Ronda (get well soon bro)(6-6)
http://www.basketball-reference.com/play-index/h2h_finder.cgi?request=1&p1=rosede01&p2=rondora01
Early on Rondo was abusing D-Rose head to head. Recently, the tides have turned (30ppg on 50% shooting the last 3 meetings vs Rondo).

vs Volde (3-3)
http://www.basketball-reference.com/play-index/h2h_finder.cgi?request=1&p1=rosede01&p2=westbru01
Rose outplays him a 'smidge' or vice versa. Hard to believe they haven't faced each other since late 2010.

vs Scrubby Ass Gunner (7-3)

Shit seems unfair at times. That 30pt/17ast game was particularly nasty. Embarrassed Jennings the whole second half. At one point Rose scored and Brandon looked at his big man taking the ball out of bounds and shrugged his shoulders/lifted his hands as if to say "what can I do?" TADOOOW (c) Ice Cube.

vs Top 5 Tony (4-2)
http://www.basketball-reference.com/play-index/h2h_finder.cgi?request=1&p1=rosede01&p2=parketo01
Tony be in awe at a bigger, stronger, faster, more athletic version of himself. Oui, oui!

vs Jrue the Damaja (5-4)
http://www.basketball-reference.com/play-index/h2h_finder.cgi?request=1&p1=rosede01&p2=holidjr01
Jrue hadn't really come into his own yet but there were signs. Gonna be fun watching them battle going forward.

vs Off the Wall (4-0)
http://www.basketball-reference.com/play-index/h2h_finder.cgi?request=1&p1=rosede01&p2=walljo01
Damn...Johnny hasn't even come close.

vs Young Spice (2-3)
http://www.basketball-reference.com/play-index/h2h_finder.cgi?request=1&p1=rosede01&p2=curryst01
Steph has outplayed Rose decisively 3 times...all 3 were W's.

vs Felt-on (4-5)
http://www.basketball-reference.com/play-index/h2h_finder.cgi?request=1&p1=rosede01&p2=feltora01
Surprisingly, Ray Ray gives D-Rose a lil trouble head to head.

vs Lawson (1-2)
http://www.basketball-reference.com/play-index/h2h_finder.cgi?request=1&p1=rosede01&p2=lawsoty01
Ty wasn't really a starter yet so this is incomplete.

vs Conley Junior (3-2)
http://www.basketball-reference.com/play-index/h2h_finder.cgi?request=1&p1=rosede01&p2=conlemi01
Damn he be shitting on Mike something fierce.

vs Linsanity (2-0)
http://www.basketball-reference.com/play-index/h2h_finder.cgi?request=1&p1=rosede01&p2=linje01
First game doesn't really count but I was at the second one, in the thick of "Linsanity". Shitted all on lil dude lol.

vs Live Like 'Rie aka Uncle Drew
http://www.basketball-reference.com/play-index/h2h_finder.cgi?request=1&p1=rosede01&p2=irvinky01
Every time they were slated to play in the last 2 yrs, one of them was injured. To be continued.

51-32 vs the better PG's in the game.

I miss this type of stuff:
