Does Derrick Rose not playing in the second round against Miami destroy his legacy?

[Dbrog]

There's really no reason he couldn't come off the bench and give em some ok minutes. I mean, no one would really expect much from him and he wouldn't be messing up their chemistry. Idk if he would go for that though...

[tazb]

Take away his fluke MVP and what legacy are we talking about here?

[seanclayton]

He's clearly waiting for the LeBron curse to go away first. Broken balls in game 1? Rose says fck that!

[bdreason]

Rose or not, the Bulls are going to get lit up and probably swept. Why risk bringing him back?

There really isn't a single logical reason for him to play, outside of fans just wanting to watch him.

Interesting point by Simmons.

[QUOTE=Bill Simmons - Grantland]

Now? He's a cautionary tale, the name that floats through the head of any player who wants to keep pushing himself to play, feels really good

Bulls finna become the official David vs. Goliath story in contemporary professional sports.

Thibbs will coach circles around Spo.

Rose will be vindicated, and loved again. Rose's "Decision" will be compared to James' "Decision", using all applicable far-eastern cliches.

The sports media will fawn, and not long after, during the NBA Finals, the mainstream media will follow suit.

Then, on the very night the Bulls beat a dilapidated Thunder Squad in game 6 of the NBA Finals, 42 minors will be murdered in the streets of my fair city.

His rep is already ruined. Unless he dominates and wins immediately after returning, this is going to be what he's known for.

[Droid101]

No. Wtf?

The last superstar point guard who had this injury was Gilbert Arenas.

He tried to come back too early twice, costing him two seasons pretty much. Then was garbage ever since.

Leave Rose alone. Jesus christ. If he came back now, he'd just be a 10 minute off the bench player. No reason to screw up the Bull chemistry.

If he comes back and is Derrick Rose again, his legacy will be fine. However, as for now, he won't be selling a lot of shoes.

What a pansy.

[retaxis]

Maybe D rose just has mental issues but that doesn't make him a pansy. No one laughs at your mental issues euroleague (well a lot do but who are you anyway)

[comerb]

What legacy? He didn't even deserve his one MVP.

[irriducibili]

Leave Drose alone. He'll return when he's ready.
