Marbury was on that Phx team that gave the Spurs all they could handle when Amare was dunking on Duncan and Robinson like it was his job. I don't think his Nets teams did much though when he had Keith Van Horn
Derrick Rose or Chris Paul? Who do you take?

And when he has Jesus and PP to dish it out to,KG to drop it inside to, yes your assists are going to up; that's why it seems dude is always droppig 13+ assists a game.
With that being said, I don't think Rondo is the best PG in the league because he can't shoot, period. It's painful to watch him @ the line and his form is so ugly on his jumper
But to say he's only good because of the big 3 isimo. The man goes hardAnyone that knows basketball and watches him knows this.
I'm sorry but I think Rondo has a consistent jumper. People have been bashing it for years now and using it to downplay his game but he has drastically improved as a shooter... it's just no one can tell because he only takes it as a last resort.

My son Steph used to make Mike Doleac and Kurt Thomas look like All-Stars.
Also...
"The 2002–03 campaign saw the emergence of Stoudemire, a graduate from Cypress Creek High School (Orlando, Florida). He became the first ever high school player to win the NBA Rookie of the Year in the 2002–03 season, during which the Suns posted a record of 44–38 and returned to the playoffs. Marbury had a stellar individual season, making the All-NBA Third Team and being selected as a reserve for the 2003 NBA All-Star Game while averaging 22.3 ppg and 8.1 apg. The Suns were eliminated in the first round once again by the San Antonio Spurs, but only after a six-game series with the eventual NBA champions."

I've learned to just ignore Kneesh in everything Bulls/Rose related.

No he isnt. Do you not remember Marbury's early years or are you just being a Rose fanboy like the rest of the people who answered Rose in this thread.

yeh we can all say if he stayed on Minn but Rose is not a better player ...
this is ridiculous ... the answer is CP3 ... i still got rose @ #3 ...

Best post in this thread.
1. It is almost habitual to say Deron and CP3 are the best 2. Well, CP3 is hurt. Hurt bad. Might take him a lot of time to recover, hell me may never recover.
2. CP3 gets a lot of steals, so he has an alibi when it comes to not being able to play defense. People look at that and assume he is a a good defender, but those of us that know the game know he isn't.
I think Deron is the best, and right now it is not dumb to take Rose over CP3.

Rose everyday of the week...Personally I feel even if CP3 was healthy, Rose would still be better...To the people ranking Rose as the fifth best PG in the league must not be watching the Bulls play...This man is a MONSTER....a straight beast...I think it's a toss up between Rose and D.Will as the best PG in the league....Rose drives the best, he has the best body control and is almost unguard-able...plus his shot has gotten way better since last year...his passing is also better than what people think it is...CP3 probably dribbles alittle better than him, but that might be because Rose actually dribbles faster than him (if you do anything faster you tend to make more mistakes, - logical)
Now to those saying Rondo is better than Rose or CP3 or Dwill...you guys are crazy...like someone else pointed out..Garnett, Pierce, Allen and even Shaq make Rondo look better than he is...not to say that Rondo isn't great, but he is playing with 4 hall of famers...Like someone said...if you were to switch Rose and Rondo (yea I know, can't really switch them, but just imagine) do you know how bad the Bulls would be? HORRIBLE...Now I'm not saying the Celtics would be better than they are now, but they wouldn't be far from it...Rose is the Bulls..especially when Boozer was out..you know who was carrying the load every night...Rose...Noah was doing his thing too, but people have to understand he (Noah) and other Bulls were getting their points because of Rose's activity, his slashing, the lay ups he does miss, etc..you can say the same for Rose and CP3...switch them...the Hornets might actually be better, can't say the same for the Bulls...Rose has been playing at a MVP level...like some commentators say (I hate to quote them, but they're right on this) Rose has the quickness of CP3 (he's actually faster than him) and the strength of D.Will...he's only going to get better and better....His layups are prettier than most people's dunks..-nuff said
Now to those saying Rondo is better than Rose or CP3 or Dwill...you guys are crazy...like someone else pointed out..Garnett, Pierce, Allen and even Shaq make Rondo look better than he is...not to say that Rondo isn't great, but he is playing with 4 hall of famers...Like someone said...if you were to switch Rose and Rondo (yea I know, can't really switch them, but just imagine) do you know how bad the Bulls would be?
