    Equality? I dont see Parsons sitting out because he wants a bigger paycheck. Or Harden sitting out because he is uncomfortable without Durant? Or Jeremy Lin refusing to play because Linsanity isnt on ESPN everyday/allday. He means individuality, because every other player is being treated the same and they PLAY(even if they dont show up/shooting).

    This dude pisses me off. Rockets should treat him equally to any other player. If they got rid of Scola, this chump should be gone in seconds.

    damned if you do, damned if you don't. he was mad when he was first benched with "migraines" and wrote how the team wasn't being honest.

    what's libel or slanderous putting him on the disabled list with the condition he has and is fighting for?

    it sounds like the guy wants favoritism and not equality.

    All my empathy for Royce White just went out of the window. Where did this guy come from?

    We had a player once who Morey thought was worth a first round pick, and he tweeted his issues with the team as well. He got cut.

    I'd say that's about equal to your situation, Mr. White. Good luck in your future endeavors. By the way, if I had to support my child with two options: make millions by playing basketball, or grinding it out like the average citizen, I'd choose the former EVERY time. In order to spoil your child, you have to stop acting like a spoiled child.

    Royce trying to tell off haters only to fail by using the wrong "THAN". Sigh, I thought he was a writer :confused:

    He's only a beautiful, bright, intelligent, genius flower in his own narcissistic mind.

    I'm growing to actually hate this guy, and I mean hate, and i don't hate many people.

    He's giving all people with any kind of anxiety disorder a bad name, teams are going to red flag all of them. Most of them are perfectly capable of functioning just fine.

    Truth be told this has nothing to do with his disorder, hes just a whiny punk who wants to use his disorder to cut in line instead of earning PT. Acting as though he's fighting for a cause, that he is actually setting back.

    I hated the pick when we made it, because of his game, i had no clue his off court issues would be the bigger problem.

    Let him sulk, he has no choice but to cooperate, rockets own his contract and are perfectly in their right to d-league him.

    He's in a persecution mindframe where he thinks he's "fighting the system." It doesn't have to make sense, he's going to sue anyway. He'll say it's libel or slander to say he's not able to play due to "anxiety" because he's perfectly able to play, provide his needs are met, and that he's not currently incapacitated from any anxiety attacks, just trying to prevent future occurrences. Thus labeling him as "DNP-Anxiety" would be factually incorrect, whereas you might get away with DNP-migraines. Though if you're being honest, it should probably be "DNP-entitled narcissist who would rather be a musician/humanitarian than play basketball but wants a paycheck and is using his medical condition as a crutch and scapegoat to cover unrelated immature character issues while starting twitter wars, and would rather resort to avoidance/enabling behavior rather than get treatment for his illness."

    Unless he tries to come up with some BS about how putting him in the d-league is jeopardizing his health by introducing uncertainty and increasing his anxiety.

    If Rockets did that and get fined. I would honestly go to TC and donate a couple bucks. If the NBA does fine, i hope they realize wtf is going on and step in. It would be the only time i wouldnt mind "Contract Terminated - Basketball Reasons."

    I've been saying for weeks, I hope his "condition" worsens and goes broke within a year. The only thing this little b**** deserves is for people to point and laugh at him in public. Way to represent your cause, dickwad.

    Is the Rockets even giving him fines for every single day he stays away from the team?

    The Rockets will try to work it out with him in the offseason or they'll trade him. As for right now, I think its best to just ignore him. He's getting way too much attention for a guy who isn't even part of the team, and he isn't exactly responding in a positive way to that attention either.
