Hmm. This really isn't that convincing: just like Arenas, Rose also got hurt again as well. Once the knee goes the chance of re-injury goes up.
Arenas's PER went from 24 down to 18 as he was entering his prime and never got back to a superstar level. Rose also had a PER in the nearly the exact same range as Arenas and the next year in the few games he played his PER was miserable. I'm not denying that mental makeup makes a difference here but the simplest explanation here is that he's gotten two injuries in the same knee and basketball players just don't recover well from knee injuries
Weren't Rose's injuries to different knees?
