Derrick Rose looks like he's in shape

[unit321]

He's back.

Please stop doing that landing on one leg shyt. Please

 

[unit321]

If Rose gets hurt during this competition, then it just aint meant to be

You make that post as if hes rushing back from injury or some shyt, hes 100% and ready to go

I'm not saying he's rushing it. It's been two years. I'm saying what if he gets injured like Paul George. There's no reward for a dumb international basketball tournament except a pointless medal. Team USA is not going to pay back the Chicago Bulls for any loss. They aren't doing it for the Indiana Pacers. Pacers 2014-15 season is down the proverbial toilet right now. They may still make it into the playoffs.

At least we can see his right leg and knee can handle the force of triple his weight.

That dumb medal may mean more to him than you actually know? He's representing his country playing the game he loves. Its a great honor to most.

 

[Luke Cage]

gold medals mean about as much as an all star patch.
if the international competition was greater it would mean as much as a ring.
still a nice accolade to add to a resume if you are trying to get into the hall of fame one day.

Rose needs this for his confidence and to get back into game shape

Nothing does that more than him competing at a high level vs the best in the nba and vs great competition around the world

The guy can't be kept in a bubble. He has had ample enough time to rest heal and get physically fit. He needs to play all the games he can right now so by mid season his timing and rhythm is there. I see no issue with using team USA as a conduit to getting ready for the regular season

This sounds like an ex player talking point on sportscenter

Just gave a long winded talking point that is obvious to everyone

I don't know why Derrick Rose is playing for Team USA. I can see how its an opportunity to get back into the groove, but it's also a chance to get injured for a zero-reward competition.

as if getting injured during the regular season merits any rewards

He's paid to play. All the points and whatever else he does on the court can count towards a financial bonus via a contract escalator, if its in his contract. Winning the world cup of basketball gives him zero dollars.

In shape to get injured...again.
