So Derrick Rose sat out four days worth of practices and a scrimmage due to "general soreness." When is the national media going to start calling him out for his mental weakness? If LeBron had sat out two days for soreness Skip Bayless would be crucifying him right now on First Take, yet we never hear anything about a guy who has been cleared to play and refuses to, or who sits out because he's sore. Russell Westbrook had three surgeries in less than a year after his meniscus tear and still played over half the NBA season last year and averaged 38.7 minutes in the playoffs.
