Derrick Rose's Jordanesque game-winning buzzer beater in Milwaukee

How come Chicago's arena has Milwaukee's logo on it? And why are these Chicago fans wearing Bucks jerseys?

I wouldn't say it was Jordan-esque... as he's not as smooth with the jumper, but damn that step back was huge. He must have jumped at least 5 yards!

 

You're right, it seemed that Chicago had home court? :grin:

 

Just a meaningless game but that shot gave me chill bumps when it happened. I love it when the Bulls play in Milwaukee and the crowd cheers them. Last month when they played, the crowd was 80/20 Bulls.

 

So is there a reason why Milwaukee is Chicago's second home court? Did Michael Jordan do them a favor once in the past? I don't get it.

 

Fans who normally can't get tickets to Bulls homes games drive to Milwaukee and cheer their team. It's about 2 hours away. Bulls fans are very intense while Bucks fans are few and far between.

 

In the closing seconds of a close game, teams should just quintuple-team Rose. He'd still never look for his teammates and go 5 on 1.

 

And a lot of the northern suburbs are closer to an hour away.

 

I just saw Budinger in the Bulls' bench.

 

Animal.

 

I never realized Chicago is that close to Milwaukee. Makes sense.

Btw I don't know if that was a lucky shot or what. Jennings (I think that's him) played pretty good defense on Rose. Sometimes players just make those incredibly difficult shots. I feel for him.

 

Lol, at the camera showing Scalibrine.:grin:

 

yes, but how many of these buzzer beaters did he miss

still not as clutch, not even close..

 

Bron would've passed it *cough*

 

If he can single-handedly make it a 5 on 1, I don't see why ball is not in his hands everytime

 

lol @ the milwaukee announcer. "oh he's gonna pull up for a jumper huh....and win the game". he sounded pissed.

 

Rose set his man up the whole way. He was moving Jennings left and right from the half court line. Man, he's good. That whole sequence is harder than it looked.

That being said, that move he pulled seemed like a travel. Does anybody else think so?

 

no. it's a typical stepback jumper (i say typical but it's not easy obviously). you're allowed to do the hop as long as you don't start dribbling again afterwards.

 

Why is this jordan-esque?


And that landing can't be good for his back..

 

Good defense. Better offense. Superstar players make superstar plays.
