I'm curious to see what happens with Rose after this season. Never got the impression he loved playing basketball. It feels like the only reason he's still playing is because he's got that giant Adidas contract to honor. But I can't see any team picking him up after this (although him going to China to play would be interesting).

I know he gets tossed around in those "what if" scenarios. But I still wonder if he'd really have been that good if he stayed healthy. The game kind of changed and I think he would have struggled regardless.


What?

Rose loved the poo poo out of basketball. having to do like 4 injury rehabs in 5 years would probably break most anyone. That dude by all reports was a basketball robot, and is why he and Thibs got along so well from the start. They both only care about Basketball...

Now take that away from him with tons of injuries. Nowadays I dunno how much he loves the game, but yeah..


And yes, If wasn't constantly working on Rehabbing he probably would have had time to add other stuff to his game.
That MVP and the year after he was shooting fairly respectable from 3, and had been getting better.

Like dude had loving 4 loving knee injuries in 5 years. It's kinda insane to say he wouldn't have gotten better had he stayed healthy.

Also John Wall kinda still exists in this NBA.

I'm not sure I agree with this. For me the line for being considered a good 3 point shooter is entirely mathematical and not graded on a curve. Just because nearly the entire league wasn't good at three point shooting doesn't suddenly make a bad shooter respectable. Does your three point shooting help your team? I don't think his did, so I don't think he was respectable.


It totally did though
Him hitting 3's at that clip meant teams had to actually respect him at the 3 point line. 33% was him shooting well enough allowed him and the team to have more space to operate.

It's not a knock on him, I just think he enjoyed hanging with his friends and family much more. I know we got all the "Rose plays for the love of the game" stuff when the media hated Lebron for a season but it never made sense. The same people were feeding us stories about how Derrick was dunking over people in practice all the time and when he came back he'd be the same. He had a great PR team early on.


:ssh: Rose wasn't the one releasing the news about himself dunking over everyone in practice.

That was the Bulls FO leaking that poo poo to the Media. Trying to force him to play.

And Rose was 3 knee surgery's in by the time that rift started

Uh the high school you go to doesn't have much to do with how "hard" you are.

Just turned on the game and the first thing I saw was Zipser making a pass. Zipser should not be on the court. Ever.

What? He shouldn't ever leave the court.

Too much at stake for him to not be out there for 48 minutes.
