You can personally think it's disgusting, but still recognize that other people have different opinions and desires than you do. I think Taco Bell is disgusting, but if you like Taco Bell that's fine with me. So long as what he did was consensual and not harmful, I don't see what the problem is. What he likes to do in the bedroom is his private business and has no bearing on his character as a person.
Alright fine
It just upsets because Rose use to be one of my favorite players with how humble the man use to be,I just would of never expected the things that I have been hearing and seeing from him these past 3 years,its pretty sad and angering
This guy is gone IMO

Watching those old interviews to the interviews he does today and the difference is really depressing
*Yes this is what I THINK others might think this Rose ain't gone so hopefully I don't get bashed for it
No doubt he has changed in some ways. He is certainly more cautious with injuries (understandably so). He used to constantly downplay his accomplishments and talk about needing to get better; now he defiantly proclaims his greatness, perhaps in a defensive backlash to the onslaught of criticism. He also has a son in his life now, so maybe basketball isn't the one thing always on his mind anymore.
Other than that, I think he's still the same guy in terms of being a hard-worker who does whatever he can to get healthy and improve, a competitor who wants to prove he's the best, a great teammate who encourages and praises others, an unselfish player who just wants to win and doesn't think about his stats, a good person in terms of giving back to the community, etc.
In regards to those two videos, I'm sure he still loves and appreciates his mom, and I don't see "why can't I be MVP" as all that different from "why I can't I prove that I deserve another max contract". The main difference over the past couple of years is that he has had to answer so many questions on non-basketball subjects that he never had to answer before, and he's not good at that. When you just listen to him talk about basketball and his teammates, though, I don't think he's changed that much.
Of course, his sexual preferences have nothing to do with any of this.
