LeBron James praised Derrick Rose for his play, noting that he is looking forward to being teammates at the upcoming All-Star Game on Sunday.

“It’s amazing, honestly,” the Miami Heat star said of the league’s reigning MVP. “Derrick has definitely evolved the point guard position. He’s doing it; him and Russell (Westbrook) are two guys with speed, athleticism, can score, can pass, can jump, can do everything at the point guard position.

“I think D-Rose from end to end, is probably one of the fastest, quickest guys that we have with the ball in our game. It’s always exciting to get out there with him.”

Rose has been hampered by injury this season, missing 10 games due to various injuries – most notably a back issue.
