>Change of subject -- did you know we have an enthusiasm in common? Derrick Rose. He was on loan to Memphis for a year before being drafted #1 by the Bulls. Talk about overexceeding expectations. This guy is the real deal, so much so you have to keep reminding yourself he should be a sophomore in college. Everyone in the NBA has fallen in love with him, rookie of the year in a near sweep. (What were they thinking? Doc Rivers asked of the dissenters). I have been watching the NBA for about 40 years and have never seen a guard go to the rim so powerfully. Usually it's not the dunks so much as the 6 inch lay-ins off the glass that take your breath away. You're not supposed to be able to do that in the NBA.


Yep, he definitely is the real thing. I guess we should start calling him "Coke"!
