Bulls’ Rose to see specialist about back (AP)
Ah, NOW, you ALL see what Allen Iverson was dealing with!!!! I DARE ANYONE of you to SOUND ON D-ROSE, for NOT PRACTICING!!!! Allen Iverson was in the SAME boat Rose is in now: Iverson was the reigning MVP, had a rash of injuries, but he was still being played, (when he should’ve sat) Iverson got sounded for not practicing, (something he’s still being ridiculed for today, by ignorant fans) I DARE someone to sound D-Rose, for not PRACTICING!!! See, what goes around, comes back around!!! The ONLY reason people didn’t like Iverson, was because he’s outspoken, and he stands his ground!!! When you make the kind of money D-Rose makes, it doesn’t matter how humble you are, or how much of a team person you are, the organization is paying you, and you’re going to EARN that money!!! I told you the TOE was a problem, and now it’s a BIGGER problem, because now his BACK is bothering him!!! Tom, didn’t care about his back hurting since High School, Tom had a game to win, and Rose is his best player; and Rose will be on the floor, BACK, TOE, and ANYTHING ELSE that’s bothering him!!!!
