I'm surprised with the amount of people who are excited about him coming back. I'd bet my life savings, and my best friend's house on him having another serious injury. The guy is done.
No he isn't. What part makes him a good player? Is it the 18 points on 17 shots? How about the 40% field goal percentage? Maybe the 28% three point shooting? Is it his awesome advanced stats? He has been complete garbage since he has been hurt.
He'll have the dubious honor of being the first ever MVP winner not to make it into the Hall of Fame.
What's annoying about Rose's injuries is that it makes people glorify how good he was when he won MVP. He was NOT THAT GOOD. That MVP award was one of the worst in the history of the NBA. He just happened to be the "best" or highest usage offensive player on a team that won 60 games because of how ridiculous their defense was, and he was by far the worst defensive player on that team. His career TS% is .527. He is an inefficient chucker.
