It seems like so long ago that the Derrick Rose saga was on the tip of everyone’s tongue. And depending on who you spoke to, they had a different opinion on Rose sitting out. But of course, anyone in the Bulls organization is going to side with Rose taking his time. His teammates and the coaching staff didn’t make a big deal about it.
Now, Scottie Pippen is doing the same. Goes to show to strong the bond is within that organization. A couple of months into next season and we won’t even remember this. Time heals all.
“I was kind of surprised people turned on him knowing the difficulty of Derrick’s injury,” Pippen said at Nike’s basketball pro-am at Whitney Young High School on Saturday. “No one can justify what he’s going through. No one can make his decision as to when to get back on the basketball court. I thought he took a little bit of a hit for it.
