| HBO Real Sports story on Royce White (Posted on 1/23/13 at 10:17 am)
Anyone else watched it?
Dude is living large 
And Royce wants everyone to know now that you can deal with your disorder and chase your dream with his disorder.
And he shows his gratitude to the Rockets for being the only team willing to take a chance in him by giving the Rockets something no pro team had ever heard of before: A 4 page mental health protocol that he demanded they follow.
The Rockets havent gotten a single minute of practice out of this dude.
And Josh Innis got himself a cameo

Hope the Rockets drop him. No other team will touch him, either.

White is scared of flying, but flew to Italy with his college team last year while he was at Iowa State.

He said on his Twitter that he wanted a self appointed doctor that will make the final call on if he's fit to play for each game.

Yeah, that was just one of the demands on his 4 page demand sheet they showed last night
And I don't think he had a doctor like that at Iowa State. He never missed a game

I don't understand why people think he can't fly. He's explained numerous times that he needs days or weeks to prepare himself for it. He is a douche and thug pos but I don't see why people think that he can't fly.

The Rockets offered him the driver he requested, but he still didn't want to use it

I thought he skipped that trip. He has made plenty of flights before, but he is still terrified of it. In college, his team flew a lot less than an NBA team would.

I read an article on him in SI, and I kind of remember it saying otherwise, but that was back in the summer, so I probably just forgot.

this dude is so awesome. It's almost like watching one of those "sarcastic sketches" or something and the entire time thinking "Thank God this isn't real." lol but it is.

According to him his anxiety all stems from the fact his friend died during conditioning drills when he was a kid. I heard that in addition to not flying he also will not do any conditioning drills. Must be nice!

Sounds like RW has a hyper sensitivity issue imo.
Poor dude. Most people would just call him a pussy and tell him to get over it. Someone should give him the memo you can only dwell on the past for so long.
