Derrick Rose tore his right meniscus (Update: Out for Season) :to:

[prophecypro]

Physically he's still young enough to recover from a meniscus, but mentally he might be done.

From everything I've read and understood about it, its a weird injury because when it happens and you comeback you mentally dont trust your legs in terms of how to push and move without fukking them up, like you may worry a bit. And this is a dude who was so extra cautious about injuries Think about even before he tore his ACL and was extra careful last season to take his time, he missed 26 games in 2012 with semi minor injuries and Chicago wanted him to rest as a precaution and not exhert himself from the condensed season and be ready for the playoffs. Now he must feel like he cant even get on a court no more without something happening to his legs.

he wore a sleeve on his calf. not on his knee.

Thats why I said leg or knee cause I wasn't sure but its still that armor stuff no?

 

[red222]

the initial injury might have happened on the technical foul call

 

[really]

Karma for what?

Karma for not bringing his monkey ass back LAST SEASON


I'm not gone say homie DESERVED to get hurt (or am I?)...


But if there was EVER an athlete that DESERVED to get hurt, it's him... Seriously... He's at the top of the list if anyone EVER deserved it... See the thread:

Its too late but, but I agree with Tim Grover, these players need to take all that combat gear off, especially on the knees...

I thought most of that stuff was for protection and falling on the court diving for loose basketballs and shyt? Curious to hear what his theory is on that.

I wonder how Derrick Rose is taking this. I'm sure he's feeling pretty...hurt

 

[Field Marshall Bradley]

The bulls should trade him....That's what he wants anyway, which is why he is taking the rest of the season to recover

It was the same thing. 4 games in a week. Back to back road games. No time for rest. No time for healing. You have a sore ankle or a sore knee and it's back on the court in 24 hours. It got nothin to do with bein a bytch. These guys are only human. Of course they're injuries are going to be further aggravated.

At least tell me the guy was injured in an important game, clawing for a playoff spot. Or tell me he got hurt DURING the playoffs. At least then it would have been worth it. But don't tell me one of the best players of our generation just got his career cut short because of a meaningless game in November.

I never called him a bytch and never would. Some nikkas just aren't built to take that pounding over time. Some nikkas are just more prone to injury. That's life. At least he got a max extension and plenty of money from Adidas first.

 

[really]

Who knows... If homie had came back in the PLAYOFFS, there was at least a 10% chance they could've beaten the heat... Don't give a fukk what nobody say



This is why I lost ALL respect for this nikka..... Rose was a top 5 favorite player of mine... He lost all my respect with how he handled that ACL injury.... Bulls fans, if anything, you should be pissed he didn't come back LAST YEAR....


So that would've AT LEAST given you 1 / 3 chances at a title... Now after this year, the nikka gave you 0 / 3 chances.... and yall nikkas feel sorry for him...

he out for the season off a simple meniscus surgery wow

There are different kids of meniscus surgery...reason why he is out that long is because maybe the surgeons have decided against a quick fix of removing it and have decided to reattach or trim it.

Removing meniscus is a quick fix but it could lead to problem as one ages since there no "rubber" in-between those bones.

Honestly, I think the ACL injury prepared him for this. He saw that he was able to come back from an ACL tear, so he'll see this as another obstacle that he can hurdle. I do agree with what someone said about knee braces restricting movement. I've never worn a knee brace in my LIFE, and I've never had bad knees. I know a lot of younger cats I hoop with have bad knees and they wear all that shyt. Back in the day, only centers with limited mobility wore knee braces, but nowadays, every athletic PG is rocking some knee pads and braces like they're playing football or something.

Look at this pic..... I don't give a fukk what NOBODY say.... This nikka soul is telling me: "shyt, Im kinda glad... I can sit on my ass and collect another check"


Yall nikkas can't read a nikka soul through his eyes??? ANYONE else who just came back from 2 years off and now has ANOTHER knee injury THIS SOON in the season would be looking fukking DISTRAUGHT if they REALLY cared.... They'd be looking like they just lost a son in a shooting...


Yall nikkas keep feeling sorry for this clown if you want.... He don't give a fukk no more...
