NBA 2K13 Signature Skills Revealed For Derrick Rose, Blake Griffin and Michael Jordan

[jp76]

I'm not sure that Rose fits into the floor general category either. I'm not hating, he is amazing but floor general would seem to fit players like Steve Nash and Chauncey Billups a little better.

It'll also be interesting to see if LeBron gets the 4th quarter signature skill. After all his failures in big moments does one season get him a pass?

Same could be said for Deron.. He's the best shooter of them all and stronger and a better finisher at the rim than CP3... As far as being a TRUE PG, Nash, Parker, Rondo? Those would be my top 3... But I would easily take a CP3 or Deron over them when picking a team....

I often wonder though, if Tony Parker hadn't been on the Spurs in coach Pops system his entire career how good could he be? He's shown flashes of being able to score like crazy, and is very solid at everything else.. Also has a finals MVP

I still can't believe so many people are hating on D. Rose being listed as a Floor General. I guess most must've forgotten his 29 point, 16 assist performance against CP3's Clippers. He definitely raises the game of everyone on the court when he's in the game. If you let some of these jokers tell it, the Bulls were just as good with CJ Watson and John Lucas III.

I do feel Rose is one of the best finishers in the game, but since he has the acrobat skill, I guess it works. I think finisher is for those adept at making and-1s around the basket whereas the acrobat can make all type of crazy layups while avoiding contact. With that said, I'm not sure KD should have the finisher skill. I'd give that to someone like Lebron or Wade.

As for Melo, I think he will have
Microwave
Shot creator
4th
Shot creator
Maybe some type of post up skill to differentiate him from KD...but then again, MJ doesn't have that skill, so idk

LeBron will probably have
Floor general
Finisher
Poster
Lock Down Defender
Chase Down Block

Wade will probably have
Finisher
Acrobat
4th
Ankle Breaker

Kobe will surely have
4th
Dead eye
Shot creator
Finisher
Lock Down

DUDE, I've watched every game Rose has played in. He's very underrated as a playmaker. There have been plenty of times his teammates muffed passes from him. You listen to guys like Skip Bayless who says he's a SG playing PG, and it's just ridiculous. Am I saying he's on the level of CP3 or Deron Williams in that regard? No I'm not. But there's clearly a difference between Rose and Westbrook, despite all of their athletic similarity. Rose knows how to control tempo...one of the most important aspects of being a PG. And he did average like 8 assists last year.

Yea but since these skills are supposed to differentiate players. Melo would need one that shows off his strength/post up something KD doesnt have. or that kobe doesnt have because all of their signatures could be the same. except kobe would be the only one with lock down. we will probably know by today after all of the signatures are released, what to give d wade kobe and melo. For me you give lebron chase down blocker. not lock down defender. because even tho they are stars. Lebron didnt lock down anyone this playoffs. (melo, Pierce, Granger, KD) That skill should only be for ppl who are known for locking people down or were such as (ron artest, Thabo, batier, etc)

P.S. btw you put melo shot creator twice lol but what you think the other one will be?

Oh damn lol. I meant to put dead eye for Melo. Yeah, there definitely needs to be a way to distinguish Melo from KD, because their skills are similar, except I think KD is a way better and more consistent shooter, whereas Melo is way better in the post and has slightly better handles. Good point about LeBron. Even with Kobe, I don't think he's a lock down defender at this point in his career, so idk.
