Smh a great player in Derrick Rose comes back from injury and another great player in Paul George leaves with an injury I wish all stars could be healthy hate injuries especially ones like this pray for PG

[justindza]

CMON Drose! Land on two legs for fucks sake

[РядовойЗолотогоЛегиона]

Praying for Paul George, such a horrible injury. Hope he will return soon

[giorgiobattaglia]

WELCOME BACK BROTHER. I WAS ALMOST FORGOT YOUR DUNK !!!

[Kuymarc]

Its great to see my idol the windy city assassin throw it down like old times. The only thing is that we gotta deal with the bandwagon bulls fans...

[TheBassist]

makes me think of "did you not get the memo? derrick rose can go upstairs!" xD

[dirklbj]

He's back with that kind of fire that i call the eyes of the tiger, and that fire is more alight that never !

[anthonyenriquez]

Paul George man get well! Hate to see my 2nd favorite player go down like this... :c

[DavidsTheBestAtK]

Okay I know PGs injury was bad and all guys but seriously there is no need to comment on every USAB video that comes out about him since they don't reall have anything to do with him. Honestly rather see dry Derrick Rose injury jokes on here other than 20+ pray for PG comments.

[ThemCoolTurts]

I could watch this all day! And all the hate towards rose is actually kind of enjoyable, he's a threat to them again

[TheMrCheezo]

He needs to land on both feet, too much pressure will be place on that leg if he keeps doing it that way.

[allemoney]

Good to see that explosiveness. I wonder if anyone has tried to address how he comes down from his dunks.

[jordanfifer]

He was just coming down off a block attempt 😢 whyyy PG!?!

[nbalivever]

This video is about D Rose tho it's like commenting on a video of pg's saying did y'all see D Rose's dunk?

[StreeBaller]

look at rose at 0:19 he was like "fuck it, im tired of this shit"

[JJeromEE]

Whats up with everyone telling him to land on 2 feet. Have yall ever played a sport before. Basketball is a instinct sport they are not thinking about landing on 2 feet during 82 games plus the playoffs. Plus if he keeps thinking about land on 2 feet, that means the injury is taking over mentally. Go out, play basketball, I bet you yall will land on one foot alot and not even notice. 

[rjpndrs]

It's amazing how many "personal trainers" comment on these videos....

[AAARREUUUGHHHH]

Damn I didn't even know he could walk nevermind do this!

[Messenger]

I cringe everytime now whenever Drose throws it down that hard. I hope he adjusts his game and takes it a gear lower. The world would love to see him finish a great career.
