DERRICK ROSE RUMORS & GOSSIP

via Washington Post Swagger is the word these days. As we are all encouraged to keep it real, even rookies can express their opinions openly on their interviews.

Despite recent speculation, Bulls point guard Derrick Rose reportedly "strongly considered" playing against the Heat, but "ultimately decided against it."

Between Rose, the Bulls, his teammates, other players and “sources”, this has been a textbook way of how not to handle a superstar coming back from injury. This could have been so easy. I would have ruled Derrick Rose out for the entire season at the All-Star break, even if I knew it was a chance that he could come back at any time.

Chicago Bulls point guard Derrick Rose has been the topic of so much speculation that there are plenty of NBA fans that would be good with not hearing his name mentioned for a few months.
