Did Rose sit out so long because he was serving a suspension?

[ripper76]

Maybe he tested positive for some performance enhancing drug and the league made him serve an unpublicized suspension.

They wouldn't have wanted the black eye of everyone knowing that a high profile player and former (undeserving) MVP had tested positive so they kept it on the down low.

Being off the juice could explain his horrific play so far this year.

What a worthless thread.

 

[JDM]

No.

He did it because he's a pussy and a bad leader.

Heat fans.

No.

He did it because he's a pussy and a bad leader.

Can a "franchise" player really be that big of a pussy though? I mean he was sitting out months after being medically cleared to play while his team was decimated with injuries. It doesn't make sense. A stealth suspension seems more plausible than somebody being that cowardly and mentally weak.

 

[LeBronMonsterDunk]

It makes sense.


Why else would a Franchise SuperStar willingly sit out games months after being cleared to play while his injured team plays and struggles?

 

[JDM]

Yeah, I have a hard time believing you're not both of those.

That shit's not allowed.

Or maybe you're just a moron...

Thank you for staying on topic.

Like Stern gives a ratass about players using PEDs or drugs. Get real.

Interesting...it makes sense if you think about it. Rose not coming back after being medically cleared to play. And when he finally did come back his ability to finish at the rim is gone. He's missing that little something you can't put your finger on. PED's could be that little something. Of Course that doesn't explain why his jumper looks worse than ever...despite having 18 months to work on it.

Rosé didn't comeback because he was listening to his stupid brother and bj armstrong instead of the doctors

Well any change in strength is going to affect your jump shot. Your "muscle memory," if you will, is used to responding a certain way when you tell your body to shoot. If your strength changes then your shot changes.

I believe the bulls doctor told him that playing in games was the next required step in his rehab. It just doesn't make sense for a player to ignore his doctors advice... unless there was a reason he just couldn't follow it (being suspended.)
