Derrick Rose Angry Over a Lack of ‘Superstar’ Calls

that dunk was dirty. but i feel his pain. he just needs to keep attacking the rim and he’ll get some calls.

$95 mil contract w/the bulls, $200 mil contract with adidas…Derek is definitely NOT worried about a fine…lol

Boo-frickin’-hoo.

Rose may not get as many whistles as anyone likes, because he’s fouled almost every time he drives to the basket. I think there’s enough pressure on the refs as it is.

Maybe it stems from Jeff Van Gundy outing him when he observed the way Rose snaps his head back every time he gets to the hoop.

He’s right. Considering this is a “superstar” league and Rose is the reigning MVP I’m amazed by the punishment he gets dealt every game. It seems like the refs don’t see him in the same light as the other “superstars”. Then again, I’m not a fan of the “superstar” league and would rather see everything being called evenly. Which will never happen. Some nights you get them. Some nights you don’t. It happens in every league across the world. So, in conclusion, deal with it.

Lin got eaten up, played well but eaten up, kid can’t play D and if the refs actually called ish, he would have been sitting the majority of that game.

^The head snap Van Gundy was referring to was not an evasive mid air move, its when he’s driving and gets bumped and flails like he got shot. I think they officiate Rose preety fair. He initiates 90% of the contact. That doesn’t mean he’s not getting fouled, but you can’t expect to lower your head and drive into people and get the call every time.

You youngsters are something else.

A lot of the times when Rose goes to the basket he isn’t attacking head on, body to body. He is shooting a variety of floaters and some hybrid scoop/hook shots in an explicit attempt to AVOID CONTACT with the defender. Plus, the NBA foul rules indicate that the players movement must be rerouted or disrupted, in most cases, in order for a foul to be called. Rose is a victim of his own strength and speed.

…which is a big reason why player’s flail when they get hit, in order to show that their motion was disrupted.

Speaking of initiating contact did anyone see CP3 jump back into a player when he was already past him? That was a bs call if I’ve ever seen one.

co sign Bmack, the heat argue over every little touch, rose gets bumped alot and this is the first time ive ever heard about him complaining.
however as much i dont agree with superstar calls in general you gotta give him credit for continuing to attack

If I was a ref, I would have double-T’ed D-ROSE.

In general, the “superstar calls” are a myth. As many bogus calls the stars get, there are a lot of non-calls to even things out.

Yah, surprised to be hearing this from Rose… he’s always been a humble guy, to suddenly speak of himself as a superstar is a bit out of character… regardless, the game should be called the same way for scrubs and stars, but isn’t, so let’s get over that…

He is humble, I think you guys are getting modest and humble mixed up. But anyways, he needs to get those calls. Lin is getting those calls and he sucks.

lets be honest. in the NBA if u drive the lane and go “AHHH” or “HEEEYY” you’re likely to get the call wheather u were fouled or not

He complains after each call? Gosh you’re stupid.

^^^^^ but he can play like one

dont call yourself a superstar and stop complaining

What superstar calls? Those non-calls are very regular now in the NBA. What are you too soft to not to handle body contact? Good thing you’re not a C/PF ‘coz we are the ones who are always getting beaten down low even if we don’t have the ball, especially if you’re matched up against someone with a few dirty tricks down in the post.

Well, if the refs are motivating you to do a game changing monster dunk on the drive, don’t knock it. If your game is taking it to the rack hard, then expect contact that will be sometimes overlooked by the officials. That’s the game these days.

What stands out the most is the fact that Rose called himself a “Superstar”. LOL
We know you are a superstar Derrick. You don’t have to say it.

Come on guys quit the crap Rose isnt humble just like any star player.
Calling yourself a superstar just breaks every rule of being humble.
this is what the dictonary says:

1.not proud or arrogant; modest: to be humble although successful.

2.having a feeling of insignificance, inferiority, subservience, etc.: In the presence of so many world-famous writers I felt very humble.

3.low in rank, importance, status, quality, etc.; lowly: of humble origin; a humble home.

DROSE is going to be less good if he is not humble but just quit the crap.

This fool is a drama queen. The league has already been “watered-down” for these dudes playing now so that guards like rose driving to the basket get more than the benefit of the whistle whether it`s “a tap” or “a hard foul.” yet he is so delusional where he thinks he`s going to get quote-on-quote “superstar” calls not one, not two but “every time” he drives to the basket. Get out of here with that none sense. Constantly, whining about crazy stuff – other players dancing in all-star games, the dhoward trade chatter, and now this. Please stop. Just stop talking.

I hate when people expect to get “superstar” calls. Basically looking for the refs to bail him out, couple that with the fact that the Bulls have some of the most active (fouling) hands in the league. Whens the last time Noah played someone clean, or stood still when he set a high pick? They won the game, sometimes calls arent gonna go your way, but they more often go his way than not, so I feel speaking out like this is a bad look.
