I don't really get what all the discussion is about in here and too lazy to read 4 pages. Bottom line is Rose is a great player who unfortunately won't get to his full potential because of injuries. Some players just don't have the body to hold up in pro sports (Grant Hill, Penny Hardaway, Brandon Roy). It's unfortunate, but his glory days are almost all but over. Would not surprise me if he still played til he was 35 like Grant Hill did, but he'll never be the same.
From a huge Chicago Bulls fan...

#1- no chance they clear him to play if the injury was not healed. so if i was making 15 million a year and knew there was no risk to further worsen the injury then yes i would play. so would kobe, shaq, charles barkley, jordan, etc
#2 - even rose at 75% is still better than any pg they have on the roster
stop making excuses for rose
regardless, rose is a non factor now bc he is washed up. guy will never ever be able to stay healthy for more than half a season again. his body is just too fragile.
Youre right.... no players ever get cleared and get re-injured....
Stop making excuses to hate on a fukking guy who caught some bad luck.
And no, 75% of no player is good enough in this league. This league is full of talent.
thats why lebron sat out for 2 weeks because he WAS NOT 100% and could not help his team as much as he should. Now hes back and feeling much better and look... theyre winning...
The fact of the matter is, noone has a reason to hate rose other than pure ignorance and intelligence that only extends as far as ESPN will report.Comment -

#148horrible example. 2 important factors here. 1 - he is getting 15 million a year. 2- its the nba playoffs.
as shaq said, "if you can walk you can play"
bottom line rose is selfish and a pussy and did not want to play after the doctors said his leg was good enough to playComment -

#150Not a Rose hater, more of a conflicted Bulls fan. Like others have said he was a talented player who's body couldn't handle the demands of the NBA. But it's hard to feel sorry for a guy sitting on $100 million while Bulls championship hopes go down the tubes each year. 'The return' Adidas debacle made things worse. It's all played out in public and in 20 years when Rose is at his meetings and graduations he'll have do deal with everyone's pity. Despite the money in the bank it looks like the rest of his life is a fukkn sad story.
He's one injury away from being finished. Left knee's held up since ACL surgery but you have to wonder if that's next to go.Comment -

#153think of aaron rodgers limping around the field vs the cowboys and seahawks in the nfl playoffs. Rodgers had a slight tear in addition to the strain in his calf, limiting his mobility 7 days before the first playoff game vs the cowboys
thats what the great ones do. kobe, ewing, dwayne wade, they all played hurt in the playoffs
rose didnt... he has less pride than the other stars
and for the record i loved rose when he was having all star seaons.Comment -

None of them played with serious injuries. They were small ailing things.
This was a SIGNIFICANT tear to the MOST important and complex joint in the body.
Of course you loved him when he was having all star seasons, everyone did. Now hes a pussy cause he got hurt? Naw. Only fukk boys think that.Comment -

#159It looks like we're going to have a third year in a row of "will he or won't he come back." And if he doesn't, definitely going to be a lot of "he's a pussy." We'll know more later today, but it does seem this is the kind of surgery guys come back from in 4-6 weeks, which would put him back in the last week or so of the reg season.Comment -

#174Damn..... it happened again.
The circumstance that all of us fans cringed about everytime derrick took it fearlessly to the cup.
Another injury.
A once promising, absolutely historical career is now grasping for air.
I sit in awe. I believe in Derrick Rose, I believe in Chicago, and I believe in this franchise. This isnt over yet.
Derrick is a respectable, humble young man and right now he deserves nothing but prayers and positive thoughts.
Im rooting for you D Rose, i know most of these haters wont be.Comment -
