    Default Why Do People Call Rose Socially Awkward?

    I never understood where that came from. To me hes just an all business type of guy, a competitor with a similar mindset of Kobe. While LeBron dances and prances about, Rose keeps that stoic, stone cold demeanor. He doesnt have much to say, but thats just how some people are. Ive never witnessed him behave awkwardly in front of a camera like a Wilson Chandler, Kenyon Martin, etc; he always just seemed very calm and even keeled to me. So where is this label coming from? Any specific instances?

    Sadly most closed minded people do believe that, but i dont even think hes shy at all. He reminds me a bit of Gregg Popovich, someone who just doesnt like to be bothered with unnecessary bullsh1t and finds the whole media circus to be a major annoyance. Nothing wrong with that at all.... Who would want cameras in your face all day with the agenda driven media trying to spin what you say into controversy to sell a newspaper

    He's not a good speaker. His tone of voice never changes. His speech doesn't flow smoothly sometimes in terms of cadence and rhythm. He'd make for a terrible speech giver. He'd have his azz handed to him in a debate, even if he was knowledgeable on the subject.

    But who cares? That doesn't mean you aren't smart. Many nerds are like that...just walk into a chemistry lab at your local college.

    And it doesn't really mean u are boring either. It just means you aren't great at dictating and making your point clear.


    He's great on the court. And seems like a good dude. That's all that matters.

    people think he is quiet and shy because he can't or doesn't know how to talk and people don't think he can or know how to talk because he cheated on his SAT scores.

    If I was in the NBA, I'd probably have Rose's personality. Just handle my business on the court and stay out of tabloids. But I guess people find that awkward.

    Because the people who do call him socially awkward probably act the exact same way in reality.

    I think he's awkward because he tries to hard to be humble and it's pretty annoying.

    Yeah i have, the only difference is that Pop gets visibly annoyed but displays it through sarcasm. Theyre alike in the fact that they both hate the media nonsense

    How does one "try hard" to be humble?

    Not really surprising to see, coming from a Heat fan. Ignorance.
