Definately! I don't know why people are giving the OP a hard time. I was thinking something similar myself just the other day. Rose has all the tools and all the talent to surpass MJ in Chicago lore. OK, so he has been injured but so has MJ. Rose has shown a tendancy to be fragile but he has also shown he can win games. Plus, he actually cries in public. Some of you may think that isn't a big thing but MJ only cried when he won the Championship. Rose wins 3 Championships I think the citry of Chi-Town will push him ahead of MJ. A statue may be in the works... Hell an official Rose Parade for Chi-Town may be in the works. Remember DRose is still young and MJ didn't win till he was 27 or something. Im with the OP this is highly possible.

For what it's worth, the Lakers also clinched the Pacific Division, an achievement Bryant dismissed by saying "We don't hang divisions." No, only the big NBA championship banners are considered wall-worthy for the Lakers.
