D. Rose says: I give my FIBA performance an A

[Hey Yo]

[Heavincent]

Whatever you say Rose.

[poido123]

He gave himself a grade.

I don't believe he played at grade A level, but are you going to argue his own opinion?

[All Net]

Should of kept quiet.

[JerrySeinfeld]

So he gets an A for being unfairly chosen over John Wall after coming off an injury?

And to believe I used to argue that Rose was better than Westbrook...

Arguing for rose over Westbrook years ago should not be influenced by Rose opinion of himself in a recent FIBA tournament

[Hey Yo]

He gave himself a grade.

Of course....especially when we and he know's he's talking out of his ass.

[Trollsmasher]

quite probably the only A he has ever received

Harsh and mad at the same time, but this is too funny

Nice one.

A bit like the friend or family member you know who tries their heart out to sing, but they can't sing for shit.

Do we need to bash rose for his thoughts on his game?

So what I've gathered over the years is that Rose gets bashed for;

1. Being injured and resting longer than he should of

2. Dumb statements like "muscle memory"

3. Cheating his SAT tests

4. Stealing an MVP from Lebron



Now, out of those on the list. How do any of them justify the hate and criticism that rose has received over the years?

This isn't a guy who runs his teammates under the bus, disappears for greener pastures, flops in the game, or anything of that sort.

I really feel this guy gets way more hate than is warranted.

[Dragic4Life]

He's delusional.

To think that he went from mentally shook to this type of laughable arrogance.

Watch out for the hammer.

No, not even close. Horrible example.

If you're an former MVP of the NBA, you don't give yourself an A at the FIBA's when you know you've played horribly.


Rose has averaged just 5.4 points per game on 27.3 percent shooting during FIBA play, and has hit only one of his 17 attempts from three-point distance.

[Cocaine80s]

dude has terrible standards for himself. thats why he'll never reach his 2011 level again

You have posted anti-rose before, so I know your bias. But I will entertain your opinion.

Rose eluded to the fact that he's giving himself an A, based on where he has come from and how little he's played in the last few years. I mean, how do you criticise that?

I think a lot of people have been pleasantly surprised at how much of rose's game and athleticism has come back after all this time away from the game.

Do I agree with his assessment of a grade of A? No. He's gone from injured for two years, to playing for team USA. I think he's done remarkably well.
