I think, and I am quite sure that earlier in the season, people like Magic Johnson were suggesting that Rose should sit out the entire year. I remember Jalen Rose saying it as well. It seems that he has paid attention to them, and now people are starting to question his heart.
This proves that it's really important to make decisions that you are comfortable with.

Why not say 'I'm out?' DRose: "Who knows? It’s still in the air. I’m still trying to be positive, still trying to take care of my body."

They question his heart because of statements like this:

Like many have pointed out, the whole situation has been handled poorly. From Rose, to Adidas, to his brother.
I've lost respect for all those complaining about him not coming back ASAP. Stop being selfish.
oh no! please nooooooooooooooooooooooo! i dont want to lose your respect! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
wait.... who are you again?
dirtybuhbuh? what who is that?
oh ok i never heard of you. its cool.
go on and lose that respect bro
How would you question his heart from a statement like that?
Y'all are reaching

The wavering, Rupertone. One second, he's at peace with his decision...the next, it's "still up in the air."
What is it? Does he want to be out there or not?
So he should "fake" it just for the sake of not being labeled. Please. THink about what you dudes are saying.if he doesn't play vs miami he's ********
Yea that would be funny as hell.wouldnt it be a trip if dude retires in the offseason?
Shump ballin & they were injured da same day...
EXACTLY what DRose is saying
So if D rose comes out and plays timid and ruins bulls chemistry will yall respect him again?
so tired of hearing the excuse "he's a franchise player, it;s about his career not right now" Kobe is a franchise player, AP is a franchise player, Rondo and westbrook are franchise players and they will all come back the MOMENT they are cleared to play. That is the most pathetic excuse I have ever heard.
There's no predicting the future. He could sit out all of next season as well, come back and get injured the first game. THERE'S NO TELLING. Derrick rose is a mental ******. He's a square. If he sits out the 2nd round his career will be tarnished. Ain't nobody behind closed doors respects that decision in their heart. That included Magic and all the other reporters on TV being politically correct "contractually obligated" to support derrick rose to sway the public's perception.
When he finally does come back, no doubt he will be great again. But this won't be forgotten, and if people were true NBA fans with competitive principles, they'd lose their fandom for this guy moving forward.
Please, save your excuse of franchise player. As a player in the NBA, your JOB is to ENTERTAIN the fans who pay your check. It's not about you as a player. No heart, and if he sits out the 2nd round, that will prove he's not worthy to be on a heart driven bulls team.
Rose doesn't owe ANYTHING to the fans. Nada.
However, for the other men in the locker room battling through injuries, sickness, etc....well, you could make an argument (like others have) that he owes it to them to be out there.
You are serious.....saying that with a straight face?
There is no refuting that as a professional athlete, your paycheck comes from the fans. Your job is not to be a diva, you are an ENTERTAINER. Everyone knows sports is ONLY a business, it's not about the teams history, their wins, their culture, etc. It's sales. It's a marketing company. He has a job just like every body else in the world. And just like you, you cater to who pays your check. Doesn't matter if you own your own business, you cater to who your demographic is.
I honestly can't believe that you're sitting there saying it's Rose's job to entertain the fans. His job is to win games and produce. Appeasing the fans - nah
If you want to go to a game where an athlete's main objective is to entertain the fans, go cop yourself some globetrotter tickets. Maybe you'll get a garbage pail of confetti dumped on your head.
you are dense.
Won't waste any more time further debating an UN-debateable topic. let someone else chime in and explain it to you.
