Royce White Quits D-League Team, Says NBA Wants him gone.

[All Net]

He should play in Europe, those guys never fly and take the bus everywhere.

But the hooligans would probably kill his fragile mental state.

He's best off not playing basketball at all...

[SyRyanYang]

Too bad for him.

One of the requirements playing in the NBA is traveling.

Lebron's got that right.

He wants a doctor of his own choosing to be able to tell the rockets when he can play and when he can't? Sorry, that's totally unreasonable. No team is gonna give some random doctor the authority to make those kind of decisions with a multi million dollar contract. The Rockets have been more than accommodating with this asshole so far. His bullshit goes beyond simple anxiety disorder. He's clearly got some behavioral issues that he needs to be called on. Obviously, he's very entitled and thinks he is a victim of some sort. It is apparent that no one has ever confronted him and made him face himself in the mirror for his ridiculous behavior.

It's not a random doctor per se. But one who will be a rep from the American Disability Association or some doctor who will have Royce's interest at heart.

Royce wants that because if Morey chose the doctor, it would be one who will be biased in favor of making Royce play for the sake of money.

I am just a messenger so I don't totally agree with Royce..

Personally I have anxiety disorders too and there is nothing that the Rockets can't provide but Royce won't budge. it makes him looks like an entitled cry baby...

He should have a doctor to ADVISE him and treat his disorder, nothing else. Like I said, no Doctor should have any authority when it comes to team issues. You are right about him choosing his own doctor though, I don't see a problem with that, but that doctor should only advise and make recommendations, not make basketball related decisions. I sympathize with people with anxiety disorders, I worked Psych for 13 years and have seen it all. Guys like Royce with these kind of behavioral problems are a dime a dozen. There are lots of people with anxiety who really try to seek help and are active participants in trying to work with doctors and therapists to try to get better. Royce has just made excuse after excuse and played the victim role. Victim of what exactly? It sounds like people have been bending over backwards for this guy for years.

He doesn't seem to have any trouble giving nationally televised interviews. Anxiety disorder?

[Euroleague]

You are a complete moron. You actually think teams in Europe don't fly...........

OK dumb ass whatever.



He could play in a SMALL non Euroleague / non Eurocup team in ISRAEL and not fly. That's about it.

Not a single European team is going to pay him and he's not going to fly.

Just how low is your IQ? Seriously? LMFAO at "no teams in Europe ever fly".

[9512]

He doesn't seem to have any trouble giving nationally televised interviews. Anxiety disorder?

He has generalized anxiety disorder, a specific phobia of flying in airplanes, and OCD.

He doesn't have performance anxiety or social anxiety. Both would be deterring Royce from being able to speak.

And which of those is stopping him from playing in the D-league?




The truth is, he's trying to keep his contract money by hiding behind his supposed mental disability. I actually feel bad for those players that have real mental disability problems, because Royce is making sure teams won't touch future players with reported anxiety issues with his antics.



Here's hoping the Rockets find a way to void his contract.

[Mr Exlax]

I still need him on 2K13. He helped me out a bunch when he was on the roster.

[Burgz V2]

whatever the case is, dude is still under contract.

Potentially the air plane fear of flying because...well I am not sure. do D league teams travel via planes or bus or trains?

I agree at this point, I don't see why he wouldn't go forward with this. The Rockets and Royce both have enough money and leeway to circumvent around his problems and face them at the same time.

I can only support him for so long.

[SCdac]

dude is clearly milking the phobia thing... he's been on HBO, CNN, and who knows what else... Considering teams some times teams play 4 games in 5 nights, I would just quit the NBA if I were Royce. Dude should get a work-from-home job.

[MiseryCityTexas]

Threadstarter is an idiot with terrible comprehension skills.

Edit: threadstarter is not an idiot and i'm just hating. I apoligize for being a hater.

[Stuckey]

wow

no love and respect for the game

[MiseryCityTexas]

everyone loved royce white when he threatened to kick nolan smith's ass during summer league though.
