Nothin blud, I was just trying to express that there are ignorant, isolated people every where. You were right on point but there's just no need to addthat most people you know like that happen to be black. That's merely a result of the environment you're surrounded by (I'm guessing the BayArea?).

That wasn't as bad as other interviews I've seen him in. I'd bet plenty of athletes would say the same thing in that interview. And that wasn'tthe most formal interview in the first place.

I like Drose but this guy would be a square in life if he didn't develop his basketball talent. He's quiet, rarely speak, boring and quietly prettydumb.

Probably one of the dumbest dudes I've ever seen, though it's not really all his fault.

Ummm.... there are a lot dumber things he could have said. His comment is one that would have been said by more than 50% of the United States. No big deal.

I'm not one to criticize, but your joke at the end there is pretty terrible. It doesn't make any sense; it implies that either a) there is only oneprofession so only 50 people can be top 50 in their profession, or b) out of all possible professions, 50 people on NT are in the top 50 of their profession(and that this is an obvious answer, due to the duh). That was really bothering me.

I haven't seen enough interviews with Rose to really speak on his intelligence. I'll take the word of others that he's not too swift. However, asfar as this particular interview goes, what he said was not dumb, just culturally ignorant. Like others have said, there's probably plenty of Americans,who are not necessarily dumb, that would make the same mistake.

That's a pretty broad generalization. What part of L.A. are you in? I'm curious since I'm from L.A.

Like warriors510 I'm from the bay but go to school about 15 minutes from L.A.
In my experience, the farther you get from the actual urban areas of Los Angeles, the more ignorant and out of touch with reality people tend to get.
I've found this particularly true with the black males from the suburbs down there, which happens to be the demographic I associated the most with incollege. I've seen and heard some terribly ignorant %%#$. Obviously this is a generalization but what else do you have to base your perspective on whenyou don't get to interact with each and every individual out there.
I had to ex out a lot of people after my freshman year and the people who remained were all from Long Beach, LA, or the Bay.

Naw he's basically saying all NTers are full of +!!$ and will reply something like:
"Yeah, I'm a top 50 attorney/cook/engineer etc. in America".
If you know NT then it's kinda funny.

Who cares if he can't remember useless things like a squared plus b squared equals c squared and the name of the one little girl who was hiding in an atticor something from the KGB? Smart to me is the fact he knows what he excels in, and focused in that area. Like dude said, he's top fraction of a percent inthe WORLD at what he does. Pick what's going to take you furthest and makes you happy and run with it. All of you so called "smarter"individuals, what are you doing with your lives? Prodding away working for some boss you don't like in your mundane, repetitive excuses for a life whilemaking 60 thou a yr? But hey, you remember the Scientific Method even though you're an Accountant, so hats off to you!
The American school system is a joke anyways.
You act like most people know that sushi is Japanese and not Chinese, or hell could even tell the difference between something or someone who was Japanese fromChinese.
