Would Derrick Rose do what Serge Ibaka did?

[JohnMax]

Come back early from an injury

[Smook A.]

D-Rose would say "Im not 100% right now"

Edit: But no, he definitely wouldn't come back. An ACL and Meniscus tear is 1000000x worse than a calf strain

[poido123]

what sort of response are you looking for with this question?

Have you not watched basketball for the past few years?

Seriously. That was my first though. Shut up, OP.

[sd3035]

Rose would definitely give it some thought

You can't sense a joke when you see one can you... Derrick Rose is actually one of my favorite players. I even said I wanted him to come back strong in that other Derrick Rose thread

okay, so can we compare rose recovering from his meniscus and not coming back in the same timeframe westbrook came back from (the same injury), the same westbrook who had to get ANOTHER surgery to fix a loose stitch and was only returning for the regular season...

rose simply isn't the competitor we thought he was...

[maybeshewill13]

Rose can't even come back on time from an injury..

I was joking... Derrick Rose is one of my favorite players. I even said I wanted him to come back strong.

o carry on then

Ibaka's timeframe for coming back was 4-6 weeks and he came back in 10 days....

just from the interviews and stuff it sounds like his whole entire EXISTENCE for those 10 days was about getting better and doing everything he could to get on the court.

it sounds simple but most guys just don't have the heart to shatter injury times by working their ass off to reach the court. guys like kobe, westbrook, ibaka, all do and are generally labeled more "durable" as a result.

Derrick Rose didn't need to come back early from an injury.

He could've came back when he was medically cleared to play.

Or he could've came back one month after he was medically cleared to play.

Or he could've came back two months after he was medically cleared to play (the Bulls were still in the playoffs).

Ibaka came back 10 days after he was injured when the timetable was 4-6 weeks.

One guy risked further injury and potentially ruining his career just because he couldn't bear to watch his team lose.

The other chose to sit out while his teammates played through injuries and left everything out on the court, even though he was in better game shape than they were.

You can't even compare the two.

Why are you comparing a retired player to an active player ?

Younger fans don
