    Some people have to chop on others because it makes them feel better about themselves. Makes no sense at all to criticize Rose for this.

    It is funny how some people simplify one characteristic to anothers argument to disclaim it. First of all, Shaud, apply to Fox news you can relaly do well with that type. Does dancing mean you don't want ot win? no, but there is an overall mentality that dwight and lebron shy away not just from the responsibility and criticism, but some of the big moments and want some more comfort, cushion with who is around them. they both also want to be loved and critisized and get credit but not any hate, they seem to love the centeer of attention but not hte good and bad that anyone in that position are.

    It was more about many thigns that they have done and said rather than just this dancing.
    Yet Rose and kobe, Rose even says he can dance so he must like it, but with basketball there fun isn't smiling and dancing, its the immersion and progression to wards getting that ring that they flourish and satisfy themselves. I'd rather have that on my team than these goofballs(ofcourse these goofballs happen to be the most athletically gifted and among the best players in the league, but still doesn't change taht their mental game is slightly off)

    Reminding you of Kobe is a bad thing? Wow, I wish I could even be in the same sentence with Kobe.

    So if he didn't make millions doing what he loves, he's not allowed to smile?

    Yes, it's a bad thing if we're talking about personalities. Kobe is a well-known fake douchebag.

    And yes, that is exactly what I said. All poor people should be miserable. :rolleyes: Kobe nuthuggers have the worst logic ever. "You like peanut butter? That must mean you hate everything that is not peanut butter!"

    How do you know Derrick Rose is faking? I mean is it impossible for him to be naturally laidback and quiet?

    Not saying he's faking, he just comes off that way. Kobe I KNOW is faking.

    the dancing is just a symptom of a larger problem

    they don't have the battle spirit. that basketball, although just a game, is very serious when it comes down to winning the toughest of games (championship games)

    LeBron wishes every game was an all-star game

    I don't think Rose and Kobe have the same personality on or off the court. On the court Rose is still more quiet and lowkey. He doesn't really go at it verbally with other players. Kobe has gotten into it on the court with numerous of players physically and verbally. I have yet to see that with Rose so far.

    Off the Court Rose threw one of the biggest b-day parties in the off-season something Kobe probably wouldn't do. I don't even get what you think Kobe is faking. It's not like he is hiding behind some type of wild party character or anything. Rose and Durant is more of a comparison than Rose and Kobe in terms of personality.

    Derrick Rose just seems naturally like a quiet, introverted guy. And he's not going to be pressured into behaving in a way that he's not comfortable with.

    Personally, I can relate to that, and I'm totally cool with it.

    LeBron and Howard seem to think of themselves as entertainers or ambassadors, Rose views himself as a basketball player without distraction.

    I went clubbing with a group of friends once. They all got a chick and danced on the dance floor.

    Not my thang. I just stood and watched the whole night.

    D Rose is the man. I thought those other guys looked like dumbasses anyway.
    Would Dom Draper dance? No.

    There is no problem either way. Dance, don't dance, who honestly gives a f--k?

    You can't be serious. I suppose you were a fan of Lebron and his silly 'class picture' and chalk throwing antics back in Cleveland? Or maybe Howard's half court shot practice at shootarounds? Oh let's not forget LeDecision and the 'not 7 championships' parade.

    If empty showmanship is what gets your jollies off, I don't think basketball is your thing. Perhaps you should be a fan of the circus or something. SMH at these classless players and fans these days.

    If that was the Rocket's player intro, I would be embarrassed.
