I think the reason why Derrick Rose receives the most sympathy of the four guys on this list is because he was the only guy who was never a difficult player/teammate. Dwight Howard, Rajon Rondo, and Carmelo Anthony had big egos, which resulted in butting heads with their teammates and coaches. Once those three humbled themselves, they were able to continue their careers. Rose was always humble, even when he won MVP.

In my opinion, Dwight Howard only rejected the pick and roll earlier in his career bc Shaq was always criticizing him for not being a “true big man” and posting up more even though the league was shifting into a different era. Shaq literally said Andrew Bynum and Robin Lopez were better “big men” than Dwight back in the day lol. And yes Shaq said Robin bc he’s a casual and got Brook mixed up with his brother

Im glad rose went to NY. He has been an amazing addition to the team. The Knicks haven’t been very consistent offensively but now they have Drose who has been an amazing spark plug off the bench and hes a great veteran leader for this young team aswell.

Dwight has been a solid backup center for Embiid. Granted he’s taken much of a smaller role because Embiid is top dog but he comes in off the bench, does what is asked if that’s grabbing rebounds, playing defense and he can be a veteran mentor for the young guys.

Even when Drose was going through his Injury Phase, I never stopped being a fan of his. The man is still going strong despite his past setbacks.

great vid

Carmelo was literally the best one here as after he played his first game he scored several points and then everytime Portland has a game, I kept asking Siri how many points did Melo score

The video was perfect for 10 Minutes and then you made me cry Still, thanks

i feel like the difference between rose and the others is that he came off his youngest mvp ever season and then lost so much of his career. he was super young and respectful which helps

Dwight actually still can jump as he could jump back in the days lol. I have seen a video of him touching the top of the backboard like he did in dunk contest

bernard king should be mention in this conversation, he went from mvp runner up behind bird in 84 to an injury riddled scrub back to an all star in 91

That 50 point game by D rose was epic!! His postgame interview had me in tears 🥲👏🏾

Rondo on the Mavericks wasn't a good fit, I honestly don't know what they were thinking trading for him. I guess at the time Rondo was still seen as a borderline superstar so they figured he just would but the Mavs offense at the time really required point guards to be knock down shooters and their leading scorers were Monta Ellis who was very ball dominant. That was never going to work with Rondo.

JaVale McGee, Jeff Green, Rudy Gay, Andre Iguodala, Jared Dudley, PJ Tucker, Lou Williams

injuries derailed the careers but their skills are always there and these skill make them thrive to stay on the league

That these guys can stay relevant in the League even though their bodies cant maintain this 'freak of nature' status anymore they once had, shows to me that they are truly talented. And that it takes so so much to become one of the best players out there. They lost so much of their athletic ability because of injuries and still come out as an above average NBA player.

When the league gave up on Melo, Bron Melos own brother wouldn’t even vouch for him to get him on LA. Dame was the only one to keep saying we need Melo. Will always respect Dame for that.

Im not a Rose fan but everytime I watch a clip with his 50pt performance in Twolves, I shed some tears. KEEP BLOOMING DROSE!

Damn I forgot no chill Gil played for Orlando during that Howard piece lol

I expected Al Horford to be on this list, because ever since he left Boston, he never had consistent minutes, and he didn't have a stable career anymore. Not until he returned back to Boston.

Even if Howard can't jump like before. He can still jump better than most of the players in the league hahaha

All of these players made the 2021 playoffs in some form, that’s impactful

If a guy like Roberson or Haslem who average like 1 or 2pts a game for the last 4 years can still be in the league then theres no doubt Howard and Rose can still play in the league
