Why Do People Call Rose Socially Awkward?

[TheMan]

Rose is already on the decline though. Not every player is blessed with longevity and good health. That is what makes players like Steve Nash, Lebron James, Brett Favre and people from that cloth so unique. Because very few players can make it through without breaking down.

Rose on the decline? GTFO, he had a string of fluke injuries before the ACL injury ended his season, he hasn't had problems with injuries before and you don't know for sure if that will be the case the rest of his career, MJ had an injury that almost wiped out one of his first seasons and then had an almost injury free career after that and lol at you comparing LBJ at 27 to Favre and Nash. Same could happen to Bron, he could easily get injured this coming season, just because he has been a truck doesn't mean he can't get hit by a fluke injury.

Call me when LBJ is in his early to mid 30s and hasn't suffered a major injury...and don't get me wrong, I never would wish injury on a player, that's douchebaggery, all I'm saying is ANYONE can get injured and having a history of not getting injured isn't a 100% gaurantee it will never happen.

I said they are similar to their business like approachto the game and their lack of tolerance for the media circus.... Thats it, and thats an accurate asessment

thats just fine

but its irrelevant to a thread discussing rose's social awkwardness

[AK47DR91]

I don't know about his social awkwardness but he definitely has a speech impediment.

Meh, still don't like your comparison. Pop is incredibly media savvy and shows a sense of humor. Rose doesn't appear to have taken a communications course at any point in his schooling.

Were talking about aspects of personality in front of the media...only. No one said we were comparing their entire set of mannerisms. Really dont know why youre continuing with this when its obvious you just didnt read my post

Because your post was nonsensical and stupid and I thought it was funny that you made such a claim

He's not awkward, he's just not "mr. personality".

[LA_Showtime]

He's probably not socially awkward but it's fine to say he is because Chicago fans overreact and act like you insulted their newborn son.

Do people think Duncan is socially awkward?

[D.J.]

Being introverted and/or shy doesn't equal socially awkward. He's introverted and maybe a bit shy, but he's not socially awkward. But he's also dumb as shit.

Do people think Duncan is socially awkward?

No. He comes across as more of a geek.

[Smoke117]

I don't know how socially awkward he is, he's just a moron who can barely put two words together.

Comparing him to Pop is the most laughable thing I've seen on ISH in a while and that's saying something, he's known for giving crazy (if rude) interviews as well as being one of the most intelligent guys to ever be around the game.

I agree with this. He is just dumb as a rock. He always has this blank look on his face like everything in the world is just going right over his head and he's confused by anything that isn't basketball related.

It's simple. The dude is a warrior, not an entertainer.
