Much disrespected by the fans at the tail end of his time here, without him the Lakers don't have two titles and 3 trips to the finals post shaq. Hope to see his jersey retired at Staples Center one day.

I wouldn't bet against the Bulls making a serious run in the playoffs if Rose stays healthy. Its a big if, but at least the potential is there. If rose is healthy, that team is going to the finals imo.
