OT: Shump Came Back Too Soon

[ThaGator]

He made the right decision for his body. You have the right to make decisions for your body.


Doctors also told Luol Deng that he didn't have a broken leg. Guess what......he did.

D-Rose's coach & teammates, plus the the owner of the team were fine with his decision.


It typically take 2 years for NBA players to recover their pre-injury form after major knee surgery. Just ask CP3.

So it's ok that he completely ignored his doctors? If it had been the correct decision, he would have sought second, third, and fourth opinions to corroborate that decision. It's ok that he continued to sit, even though there was no further risk of re-injury? It's an ACL tear, not a prosthetic leg. It's a routine procedure these days, and doctors who have performed thousands of them keep to the same rehab schedule for every patient. There was nothing special about Rose's ACL that required him to sit longer. And since "It takes two years" that actually makes what Rose did worse. If there was no risk of re-injury, why would he choose to effectively push back this timetable by not playing when he was supposed to?

Don't worry about it, just making a joke

He didn't completely ignore his doctors. He ignored SOME of the team doctors, among the many that he was working with. Reports of Rose working out and doing full contact by progression coincided with those few team doctors and their recommendation. The only place where Rose sat out, was when the Bulls were doing well without him, and he could have(with full blessing) come back against Miami in the playoffs. Which means Rose sat out for 4 games on his decision and his Doctors advise, opposed to a few team Doctors that said he had the green light.

The only reason this became an issue(in this topic, not last season where Rose didn't give a clear NO for an answer), was because Shumpert came back. But as we see here, that may not have been the best decision for him.

I just wish Rose/handlers didn't dangle the carrot in front of people that he may return.

I don't think anyone disagrees what that point.

It demonstrated a poor choice on their part, and if it was by strategy, a poor strategy.

And especially after seeing RG3 really whiff on his return, I think Rose's wait is a lot wiser. AP ruined ACL recovery times for everyone else.

Rose literally wouldn't play an entire year after his surgery. 12 months. Why is it so blasphemous to say that he fucked up? It doesn't matter now, anyway.
