Rose said he was "saving his body for after basketball" and that he wanted to be able to "walk at his son's graduation".

LINK

quote:

“Of course I do. That was stupid. Derrick Rose is a great player, he’s a great kid. Love his mom. That was stupid. You know, Ernie, we’re so blessed. I limp around but I go home to a big ol’ mansion. There’s people who work harder than Derrick Rose who go home to a shack.

“There are consequences to what we do for a living. We got the best life in the world. I’m a poor black kid from Leeds, Alabama who grew up in the projects and listen, I don’t mind limping around because when I go home, there’s a big ol’ house. I got good sheets — I don’t know the thread count, but they’re good. I got a big ol’ car. I never have to worry about my bills. There are pros and cons to what we do for a living. Derrick Rose is making $20 million a year. He got a couple bad knees. That’s disrespectful to maids, people who are in the army who go out and kill people and get killed. They got no arms and no legs. As much as I like Derrick Rose, that is just flat-out stupid.”

I think it's pretty well known that Derrick Rose is a pussy

The team is paying him to do a job. He isn't doing a job. He should be forced to go if the TEAM doctor clears him. If not, then no $.

My bad, it's just that Charles can't really put two coherent sentences together.

He doesn't owe anybody anything except his employer who is paying him $20 million per year. If I were on his team, I would have a huge problem with his comments and if I were an owner/GM, I wouldn't pay a guy like that big money.

Shaq quote on the video after Chuck was top notch:

"I was taught if you can walk, you can play."

probably a lot easier for a gimpy 7 footer to play than a 6 foot something point guard, but i agree with charles 100%. if rose really cares more about his knees, thats fine, but he should retire and pay back the bulls a ton of money.

Just look at rose's wuotes and look at Noah's quotes after the game last night?

Who would YOU rather to play for? I'd bust my arse for Noah for 48 mins. He defended a teammate the way a teammate should. Players love that.

But f I were a bull, I'd now know that Rose may not lay it all out on the line for me. That'd be a tough pill to swallow. Don't know if I could trust him.

It's is surprisingly soft for a kid from the south side

Derrick Rose had so many incorrect word usages in that 2 minute sound bite.

"People took it out of term or content"

"I could care less"

They know what they do for a living is playing a child's game. They get to do that for a LIVING, bust arse, and make millions. Can't go through life feeling entitled. If Rose doesn't want to put the effort and make sacrifices, then move onto another job opportunity or career.
