At least he doesn't own a motorcycle.

I guess this is the type of shit that happens when you turn your back on your close close friends because your brother who was also protected by these friends tells you to.

Um.......what?

People talk in this city. Rose was protected by 2 close friends. They took care of him when he was down,always had his back,making sure nobody ever fucked with him. They made a pact with one another that if one of them got famous or rich they would take care of the other. I'm not talking like casual friends either, I'm talking about guys that grew up with Rose when he was a kid riding bikes in the streets. 3 guys that were close and 2 of them were just up and left after years and years of friendship because Derrick's older brother told him to cut them out of his life. Now he can't or won't come back into the same neighborhood as he grew up in. He's that hated. Maybe this is karma catching up to him.

FWIW I have heard this same story from more than a few people that knew Derrick before he made it.

Maybe because I have been stressed/drinking a lot more lately

Maybe because I have been stressed/drinking a lot more lately but I have been thinking more and more shit happens for a reason. I know I'm reaching here but in my mind, Rose's injury might be karma. Him having everything in the world at his finger tips and all of a sudden it's pulled out from underneath him=karma.

Maybe it's just me, but I would remember the people that I was close with before I got rich and famous. The people that gave a shit about me before I could do anything for them.

Like I said, I have heard this from multiple people so take that for what it's worth. Maybe they could be all wrong about Rose and the story, but maybe they aren't.

You mean only if your wife told you to remember those people, right?

Your wife should kick your ass for that stupid ass D-Rose story you just made all of us read.

If you think Rose is coming back next season (6 months from now) and is going to be an impact, sorry.

He isnt back until 2014 and who knows how good he will be even then. His game is quickness, stopping, elevation etc. No way a surgery can get him back to what he once was. He will still be good, but is not going to be the scoring machine he was, so you just gave Max money to Jason Kidd.

2015, they trade him for a high pick to someone as he will have one year left on his deal, they will have their own high pick due top be being bad after trading rose and then have the Bobcats 1st rounder, which you know will be a good pick!

3 picks, top 12? So now I need to project the nations top juniors in HS...and we ened right back at Simeon!

Rose will be fine and that Kidd comparison is terrible
