Of course, Derrick never produced his second medical opinion and they never had the Bulls team doctor speak publicly in winter/spring of 2013 about Derrick. The DB had his inside, double-secret anonymous source, who despite universal claims by the organization to the contrary, remains solid fucking gold for their position.

Not a medical person with the title "Dr." would ever be willing to state that Derrick was going about things the wrong way.

They'll never give up, and to what point? That he should have come back to face inevitable annihilation from James' team? They've already proclaimed him the champion again for 2013-14 (or the Thunder or Pacers), except no real show pot to back up their assertions/prognistications.

In this case no doctor would ever come on and specifically comment on a person that he had not examined himself. It would be all hypothetical. Once he examined Rose given the chance he couldn't talk to due HIPPA without release. This whole thing was perfect for B&B to squawk about anything they wanted.

I have not examined Derrick Rose but his leg should be amputated.

And then he needs to play on it.

I think someone's going to call up tomorrow and state that it doesn't matter how Derrick handled rehab because there's no way the Bulls will win a championship in his career. We'll see how that response is.

I would be interesting to see someone try to troll them with this, maybe go full meatball and demand that the Bulls trade Rose because he's not a team player and thus the reason why the Bulls can't win a championship: he doesn't listen to team doctors, he isn't tough enough, doesn't have the killer instinct to be a champion, and is far more concerned with whatever poison Adidas is pouring in his ear. Maybe throw in a SAT reference for good measure though that may be going over the top.

yeah, well, the point is they don't think so. So it puts them in a catch-22 of an argument.

because it points out the illogical nature of being concerned (deathly concerned) with the career of an athlete that will never "get them closer to a championship".
