If you are a starter in the NBA for 15 years, the way people expect Rose to be, I think it's common for them to have long term ailments.

Just curious as to which NBA players have long-term ailments after playing...obviously not counting being broke.

I think I heard them talk about on Open Court or maybe Steve Nash say it in his recent article

NBA Basketball is a very physical sport. Of course it's not NFL, Boxing or even NHL level of physicality. I think since most of us have played Basketball we think of the game on that type of level but it is not.

It's a game of large men running mini marathons while leaping, bumping and sometimes hitting each other. You play at this level for a long time you're going to have some long term ailments

who is tho? everybody is saying he shouldve just kept his trap shut & hooped.... no passes given ...still reaching at them straws to drink that aide i see

****** talking about he kept it [emoji]128175[/emoji] with them comments, he sound autistic and that's keeping it all the way [emoji]128175[/emoji]. Either that or dude just don't wanna play no more. You don't wanna worry about being sore at graduations?? [emoji]128514[/emoji][emoji]128514[/emoji] WHAT? You a basketball player, and you 26 yrs old at that. If that's the case, play your contract out and retire while you still young. ***** is stealing money at this point, I don't get it because he has looked good this season in the games he played.

I'm legitimately perplexed a Dwane Casey coached team is 7-1 to start the season. Ujiri knows something I don't apparently, because Toronto has worked well with Casey at the helm, particularly in cohesion with the temperamental Kyle Lowry.


How you gonna leave out Tobias Harris and Kyle O'Quinn in Orlando's future? Dead serious about O'Quinn.

I'm a huge fan of both players, and I would love to see them stay. I think they've proved themselves alongside Vooch. In an ideal world I would want everyone to stay, every single player on the Magic roster has potential in my eyes. Fournier is quickly becoming a favourite of mine too. You can't forget Channing Frye, Ben Gordon. They're all helping the Magic get back on the right track. We've got a solid squad, and allowing a season for them to gel, I think we have HUGE potential for the future.

Any other Magic fans in here?

Magic fan here ...was Suprised n pissed to see that they blew that lead last night ...but I'm liking the competitiveness n the young players we got, even Ben Gordon n Frye getting some buckets

 

[jinkazama]

Plain and simple Rose's injuries are in his head. We all know you can't play not to get hurt. You think too much, don't react, and your game suffers

Dude has got to get his mind right or he'll never be the DRose of old

Of course they are going to have more wear/tear on their bodies than an average joe or someone who topped out at playing in HS/college....but their long-term physical ailments pale in comparison to other sports.

 

[miamin2]

Not to mention they have some of the top training staffs and are compensated very well for what they do

Yeah, off the top of my head, I can't think of too many old time NBA players who've complained of having chronic problems moving or with soreness etc. Phil Jackson comes to mind. He's had hip and back problems that keep him from moving around too well. I'm sure some of it can be attributed to his playing days. Bill Walton has had some issues too, but he had chronic injury problems when he was playing. Anyway, guys like that seem to be the exception rather than the rule.

I wonder how California would look if they divided it in half? I bet the per capita numbers in SoCal would go up. California's a big *** state with a ton of people though and the majority of it is not producing NBA ballers.

This is sad smh...it's ok to be loyal but you got the blinders on right now. I like D Rose but he acting like a *****, point blank period. I've had my acl's and meniscus tore in both of my knees. You already gone be sore and feel it when it rains, that's not a good excuse to make the decision to not go out and play if you can.

pretty sure hes been hooping & the team kept him out the 1st 2 after the dbl ankle roll so what the hell are you exactly going on about again?

zero blinders on ... i initally(knee jerk reaction) said the same thing but it would literally be a non-issue if it wouldve been worded differently. & there wouldve been tons of "at least he taking car of himself, ball aint all" etc comments

 

[bishopstrongbow]

Rose gon cook and that's that. Promise

 

[sea manup]

Rose gon cook and that's that. Promise

if he cooks too much now he's going to be too sore to cook a steak at home when he's 56

A lot of people hate on Philly but I find it very interesting the way they're going about building their team. I think the fact that they found him in the second is a testament to the fact that not only are they getting some of the best players from college(embiid, noel) but they are also finding good value elsewhere in the draft. MCW at 11 also.

i was saying something common... ive watched 3-4 of thier games & they find a way to lose... ie what bad teams often do...they will be good soon tho

 

[kal-el-8]

 
cmon rose u a professional athlete, an above average human being.  leave the graduations and meetings to us average folk and get back on the court

to be fair rose has already played in hundreds of basketball games in his life

he's never been to a highschool graduation before, so he doesnt want soreness to take away from the experience 

 

[lynchpin33]

Stephen A going in on Rose on the radio right now. Saying this may be the hardest show he may ever have to do...

They're also the youngest team in the NBA, so that attributes to some of those bad loses. Also the staff puts out questionable lineups.
Again nothing guaranteed but I find it interesting a team is going a different route in an attempt to build a contender.
