Derrick Rose Sure He Will Win ‘Multiple Championships’

By definition of the word, they are arrogant. Your trying to argue that Derrick Rose is not arrogant, because LeBron James is MORE, Blatantly arrogant? Just because DRose doesn’t throw himself parades and 1-Hour Specials doesn’t mean he doesn’t think he’s the greatest person to lace them up since MJ (I’m not saying that’s really what he thinks, but he clearly sees himself as superior to the rest of the league, and its not necessarily a bad thing, just plainly obvious).

If my favorite/hometown/best player HAD to speak about his abilities on the basketball court, I would want him to come off as arrogant. Anything less, and I’m looking for a different star player.

Look up relevant, and then say something that fits the definition.

Bulls inexperience definitely proved to be the back breaker in games 4 and 5. Time and time again they were at least two or three plays away from getting the win and maybe getting the upset. I just hope this lockout soon.

I understand why he said what he said, and honestly, I think it was the right thing to say. Doesn’t mean the kid isn’t arrogant. Honestly there is nothing to even defend here, he’s arrogant. LeBron is more arrogant. They both probably should be, I don’t know of a star player other then Tim Duncan that has ever won a title and didn’t actively act like they were the best thing since sliced bread. — Sh*t y’all are from Chicago, where Michael Jordan played, y’all should welcome arrogance like a long lost puppy.

You blew holes in my theory….haha what theory? By definition of the words, Derrick Rose is arrogant. LeBron is arrogant and overbearing (whether that’s what you were referring to with the overbearing comment is irrelevant, because LeBron is overbearing with his arrogance, or he was last summer atleast) I’m not wrong, and I don’t really have a theory other then the you Chicago natives should welcome arrogance, because IMO with what y’all have been privy too, you should.

The overbearing part was in reference to the Miami production, not LBJ. I thought that was pretty obvious. And you’re basically trying to say that a 1-on-1 conversation with a reporter is the EXACT SAME THING as what went on down in Miami. The difference there should also be obvious. But if you want the two to be the same, OK, I guess.

Hey, the angry Buddhist showed up!! Must be a more boring than usual day in Rochester, today.

@ 1st comment, u said it. a SHOOTING GUARD and a coupel years. D Rose said his team can win it AS IS, no upgrades at ANY position, THATS what comes off as ludicrous.

Cuz if they get an upgrade at SG? its very plausible they get multiple Rings, but as they are now? nope. U dreamin D Rose.

u shot under 40 % in the playoffs btw, be more a PG and pass it around dude, dont shoot 30 times a game, push ur GM to get that shooting guard who can take soem of that pressure off u, dont make him feel like he can relax.

Bryan a stadium full of people that will be relayed to the world, a reporter who will directly quote it too the word. Same thing to me except one is more blatant (by design, and not James’) – except one statement was overwhelmingly arrogant (overbearing – for the sake of it), and the other was just arrogant. LeBron’s actions don’t lessen Rose’s arrogance though.

Yeah, I like that part. Rose was so tired and his ankle was broken in 5 places that he couldn’t hit a jumpshot to save his life nor could he drive past a player that has 50-60 pounds on him.
Oh, poor DRose! I feel so bad for him having to do something that no other player in history has done.

Cosign Crawford at 2:33 – wth people

Derrick Rose was DEFINITELY sapped, he was sapped throughout the playoffs. Rose had to carry his team every game because of the injuries, and he’s too young to know how to pace himself. Lebron certainly helped shut down Rose, but that was only 50%, the other 50% was being tired as F*CK. No one in the league can lock down a fully energized Rose. When he is older, he will know how to pace and we will see him have MANY great playoff games.
He’s still coming off as an arrogant dbag here though.
It’s basic math: “Rose thinks his team can win a championship + Rose carried his team = Rose is arrogant about his own abilities.”
And really, outside from the haters and Lebron overreacters (COUGH JTAYLOR) there’s no reason to be pissed about this.

When your legs are tired, the FIRST thing that goes is your jumper. Anybody who plays who basketball knows this. I’ll just leave it at that.

Sigh…it’d be nice if my other comments would show up…

Oh, and I really don’t care if Rose comes off as arrogant personally. But that’s just me. I root for dude cause he plays for the Chicago Bulls, not because I want him to be liked by everyone else.

JTaylor: No, that’s not true. There is a rich history of younger players doing too much and not having anything left in the playoffs. It’s also for the coach to decide that Rose should stop taking shots— Rose was encouraged to take those shots cause he was the offense.
It’s a valid reason for why Rose played poorly in the playoffs— he was tired because he’s the reason the Bulls had that #1 seed. The team simply wasn’t great enough to pick up without him. Perhaps it can’t be used as an excuse to some, or many, but it’s a valid reason for why Rose wasn’t playing like an MVP in the playoffs.

I approve of ‘Matic’s 2:53 message.

BC: “I defended Rose for five hours against people calling him arrogant, but hey, I don’t care, I love him anyway!”
Oh Bryan, you card!

But dude did sound a lot like Lebron here…
LOL

But he did play that bad, and it seemed to be because he was exhausted. Will it matter ever again? No. And guess what, he’s almost 23!!! – I think he’s got time to work on his conditioning, or pacing himself. — Our expectations of these guys are ridiculous, what Rose accomplished this season was nothing less then an over achievement.

I’m so glad I’m out of this sh*t.

I like Enigmatic’s 3:53 comment.

He actually shot under 40% for the entire playoffs. So unless he was “gassed” from the opening tip vs Indiana, what’s the excuse?
