“I was scared I wouldn’t have a good season, so I would stay in the gym for like four hours until I got tendinitis,” he said. “Coach (John Calipari) had to tell the managers don’t let me in no more because I was tearing up my knees and I had to keep getting MRIs.

Calm down there Derrick, those knees need to be good for a longgggggggggg time.

that Rose is the softest player in the NBA.

Knee problems at 19 is a real bad sign.

1- Someone calm this young man down
2- This is not going to be someone we have to worry about regarding his work ethic.

Circle the wagons…

Careers = over, obviously.

I ain’t gonna lie

And hopefully will come up with a training regiment that will keep his skills sharp and his body in shape. Ex – Some laps in the pool as a substitution for some of the wind sprints.

I’d say 90 percent of NBA players suffer from sort of discomfort from back/knee problems.

Noah had an effed up shoulder, the team new about before drafting him. They worked with him, he rehabbed/ got treatment…and I really didn’t hear much about it after the season got under way.

I think Rose will be fine.

really sucks

clearly it would be better if he didn’t have tendinitis, but it’s not the biggest deal in the world.

i do find those comments hilarious though. “BUST!” “his career is over!” “should have traded the pick!” “should have picked westbrook!”

Where’s the Uncle Sam hates __ post here?

He practiced for 4 hours and his knee hurt. I have a feeling this has been overblown. It was something to write about over the 4th of July weekend.
