    **** twitter.

    Quit if you're not up for the challenge. Nobody is holding a gun to White's head.

    Can somebody tweet him why he doesn't reply to Marcus, at least?

    All these tweets don't apply to anyone but him. Millions? He represents himself and only himself and cares only for himself. How many companies would tolerate a constant no show? He deserves to be bashed, clearly support means nothing to him because it will never be enough. Excuses are for the weak failing to take responsibility, he may be 21 but has the maturity of a 13 yr old. What a waste of talent, an opportunity, and most importantly a pick.

    Does he really need to release these public statements basically accusing the Rockets of being "villains"? This is the second time now.

    These are most likely written or the very least checked out and released to the media by his agency. Do these solicitors or reps have mental illnesses too?

    Who the hell does he think he is ?

    Mental issues or not Rockets have one goal, to win a championship, they aren't a platform for Royce White to play some uninspired basketball for the sake of showing hes overcoming 'anxiety' and that means everyone else can.

    Its not anyone's job but his to overcome and beat his disorder, he needs to stop expecting everyone to change the system just for him.

    Nah, at this point it's pretty clear you just get off on broadcasting your thoughts to the twitter universe.

    I wonder how many of the people sending him "supporting" tweets are just morons looking for retweets.

    Reading his tweets is killing me. It's because I'm in the mental health field and he's doing a huge disservice to the field and those who suffer from various mental health issues. This isn't about his anxiety, it's about his sense of entitlement. Him confusing the two only makes it harder for people to differentiate the two. He's screwing over a lot of people with a legitimate issue of dealing with the disorder in the workplace. Sorry I had to go on a rant for a bit.....it's just sad to watch happen.

    I think this started when he was put on reserve and maybe being on the "injured" reserve was a slap in the face in his own mind?

    Where is the Army psychiatrist(I think BillBradley) everyone was arguing with during Royce's escapade. If I was the Rockets I would have done the same thing to keep my org. out of the hot seat, but he was completely right. That situation enabled Royce to the point where it would only make matters worse the next go around.

    Again, I personally would have done the same thing If I was the Rockets(not sure if I would have drafted him though), but BillBradley was right that this is exactly what was destined to happen after that situation.

    If I was McHale or Morey I would be calling Fred Hoiberg right now to chew his A$# out. Him and alot of other people put their necks on the line to get Royce drafted. Can't say he didnt warn the Rockets, or that they listened, but its not like this just came out of the blue. These are the kind of things that had to have happened in college as well, but Royce didn't have the platform them and the legal backing to really make this kind of a charade out of it.
