Another Superstar for Rose
I think it is vitally important for Derrick Rose to play against the top superstars in the league as he hones his skills in this, his rookie year. Earlier, Derrick saw LeBron James - twice already - and on Tuesday, he got his first look at Kobe Bryant. Rose will have these opportunities all season, especially now that Allen Iverson has been traded to the Bulls' own division.
Rose has a great basketball mind. Derrick studies these players when he is in the game and he watches them from the bench. Watching the top players in the league will make Derrick's learning curve short...well, it was already short because he has such a great basketball mind.
