Can't think about Rose without also thinking of the 2008 Final Four, perhaps the best Final Four of all time (at least in terms of participants - all four #1 seeds). Whether you think Howland made a mistake assigning Collison to guard him for much of the game, what is not in dispute is that in a game where UCLA had Russell Westbrook AND Kevin Love, he was the best player on the floor. 2008-09 NBA Rookie of the Year, 2010-11 MVP... on a HOF trajectory, derailed by injuries.
