Derrick Rose

The NBA MVP race isn’t fun. Don’t get me wrong, it’s fun and it’s not fun. Watching LeBron James and Kevin Durant duke it out for MVP honors is most definitely fun. Knowing they’re the only two legitimate participants is not fun. Once in a while, it’s nice to not know who the MVP will [...]

Stop. Please stop. I’m begging you. Derrick Rose isn’t going to play again this season. We know this. Yet people still feel the need to ask because, well, he’s Derrick Rose. And when the Chicago Bulls took on the Indiana Pacers Monday night, someone asked, per The Associated Press (via ESPN): Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau [...]

Carmelo Anthony is blind. You knew he was frustrated, what with the New York Knicks losing at warped paces. You knew he was probably even hardened, deadened to the fact that the Knicks are this listless and browbeaten one season after winning 54 games. But I bet you didn’t know he was blind to the [...]

Johnson. “Tired” probably isn’t the appropriate word. Butler logged a franchise-record 60 minutes, 20 seconds [...]

Almost two years ago, adidas made the decision to take their “all in” moniker heart by locking then-premiere NBA point guard Derrick Rose to a lifetime sneaker endorsement contract. With the 2011 NBA MVP out of the Chicago Bulls active roster again with an injury, adidas keeps the ball rolling with a new, high-performance basketball [...]

Tanking isn’t in Derrick Rose’s vocabulary. Hell, rebuilding isn’t either. But it may have to be. According to the New York Daily News‘ Mitch Lawrence, Rose wants no part of a rebuild in Chicago: Rose has told several confidantes that he is worried that the Bulls will start to let the team hit the skids [...]

The New York Knicks are notorious for lusting after other people’s players (OPP). Now it seems they’re also interested in OPC—other people’s coaches. Head coach Mike Woodson has been on the hot seat ever since the Knicks began their current free fall. At 6-15 and sitting at the bottom of the Atlantic Division, he’s nowhere [...]

NBA players don’t tend to doubt themselves, and for good reasons.
