Three Reasons The Chicago Bulls Will Win The NBA Championship
1)
Derrick Rose loves making defenders look confused, hapless, and lost. “You don’t want to stay in front of me," deadpans Rose, and with a casual wave of his hand and some dizzying footwork he is splitting double teams and assaulting the rim. Like Luke Skywalker heading into ROTJ, Rose is dealing with serious injury concerns.
I suspect Rose will deal with his just like Luke did: by briefly tapping into the energies of the dark side to dethrone an evil empire. (That is NOT a steroids metaphor). Luke restored balance to the force after getting his arm completely sliced off. At no point during Rose’s injury or recovery did his leg leave his body, so I feel like he will be just fine. His decision to sit out last season to thoroughly rehabilitate his knee seems to have paid dividends; in the pre-season he has looked explosive, confident and polished.
