So the FIBA World Cup is in full swing and if you haven’t noticed. Derrick Rose is a bench player. As weird as that sounds that’s completely justified.
If you disagree. Think again. Because if Derrick Rose is fine with it as ESPN’s Marc Stein is reporting, then I’m fine with it.
“We have a deep team,” Rose said. “And that’s what makes us so good.
“My role is coming off the bench right now. I’m fine with it. I know no second unit can win when I’m on the court or stick me when I’m on the court.“
The USA guards have held their own so far and the whole team has worked as a unit. No stand out player and that’s how you win games. Teamwork. Fundamentals of basketball and Derrick Rose, despite his natural ability to score at will is taking the high road on this one and that’s great to see.
