What, Derrick Rose Worry?


Nothing can bother Bulls’ star guard Derrick Rose, not allegations that his high school transcript was doctored and somebody else took his SAT and not the reaction to recent comments he made.  Rose is coming two seasons marred by torn ACLs.  His return so far has been slowed by several small injuries.  This week, Rose explained why he and the team weren’t going to rush things, or at least he tried to explain.

Once his playing career is over, “I don’t want to be in my [business? charity? foreign policy?] meetings all sore or be at my son’s graduation all sore  just because of something I did in the past.”  When social media lit up with criticism, Rose responded by saying “I could care  less” about criticism.  Presumably, that includes Charles Barkley calling such talk “flat-out stupid.”
Here’s what’s stupid—a 26-year old making just under $19 million a year for a team valued at $1 billion.  Priorities, people, priorities.
