NBA Derrick Rose to undergo surgery - ESPN

 

Heyabbot just orgasmed

 

Man. I really hate knees.
Brutal.

 

Really just sucks.

It's over.

 

So glad I'm not a Bulls fan, but not because of this. Sucks for all involved.

 

He should have stayed at Memphis for three more years so he'd have something to fall back on.

 

Is this not the best example of the idiotic these kids should stay in school argument?

 

The kid will be fine once this is fixed. He has a lion's heart. Remember how he came back so quickly from the ACL? Remember how he came back so quickly from the last meniscus tear?

OK, all joking aside, this doesn't have to be all that bad. This isn't the knee that had the ACL, and they did the long-term outlook surgery on the meniscus on this knee two years ago. If it's a small tear that they can just snip off, he could be back in 4 weeks and he should be a lot better than he was while playing with pain.

 

Got a laugh out of this one:

 

He's done.

 

The best Rose can hope for is a Grant Hill career: Prime years ruined by injuries, but a relatively healthy second half as a role veteran.
