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

[poido123]

You don't give yourself a grade, you dork. Win the damn gold before anyone starts talking about grades.

That article doesn't show whether rose was asked to give a grade of himself or not.

It matters.

Has to be an A because he was relatively healthy and played.

His health is the main factor.

I see what you did there

I don't really care about the numbers. He's looked rusty, but the explosiveness/athleticism is there. So he still has the physical tools to be the top 10 player he was before getting hurt, but now it's up to him to play in games and get back there skill-wise, and hopefully even improve on that.

A for what he has gone thru to get here, how do you go against that?


It is just refreshing to see him out on the court as a Bulls fan. Rather him shake off the rust here and be able to be back to himself sooner in the regular season.


Let's see him have a great Final

gotta look at it from his perspective. im no rose apologist. im not even a fan. heck, ive often shat on him for his unwillingness to return and "muscle memore" bs. but with a bit of perspective, i can kinda see where he's coming from. dude just went thru probably the worst 2 1/2 years of his life. to get up and going, running, jumping, cutting at an elite level, that has to feel damn good. to him, its probably like being told youre never gonna walk again and then working your ass off just so you can finally go for a light jog.

I don't see why it would not be stats aside, this whole thing was for him to get back into ball and once again prove to himself he's capable of doing things he did in the past. He's proven that, the rest of his game like touch on the jumper/around the rim will come the more he plays.

It's not easy to come back after two years and have good feel (some people do but it's rare). You also can't question his effort on either end at the tourny he's tried hard but it's going to take time.

Is Poido answering all the posts in this thread? Kinda reminds me of Dragic/Encre/JT123/Lebronxrings/Corleone/dubeta.

There was just like four different people responding to the original thread the last hour or so?

Considering there aren't many active Bulls fans on the main forum, I thought I'd take the initiative to answer Bulls related questions/accusations when I'm on here...

I may be in the minority here, but he's played well. He gave himself an A because he hasn't played ball in 2 years. He's not saying an A by his normal standards. I bet all of you guys look like complete shit after missing 2 months of pickup basketball.

[Spaulding]

How embarrassing. His teammates would not give him an A. For him to put "coming back from injury" as a factor in his grading is insulting to Pillars and Wall. Both would have easily out performed Rose. Spot should have went to best player. Not a former MVP pity party.

[Smoke117]

Maybe he meant A for effort?

This would make total sense. But alas he's playing the injury card. If he's gonna do that then his spot should have gone to a better current player. Since when did team USA have a confidence booster spot? Leaving out better current players.

[RRR3]

That explains it. At least I prevented you from kicking the dog or blowing up a train full of people.



Besides, I know why certain people hate on Rose. It comes from mainly Lebron fans, I wonder why

Why are bulls fans under the impression that LeBron stans fear Rose? He never was and never will be on LeBrons level as a player. Durant is the guy they fear.
