Dude is a baller.

Besides, your other assertions about him DO point to mental issues, but perhaps of a different kind.

I know for a fact that anxiety issues can manifest in ways that don’t seem logically related, and the worst problems can be effects that are only indirectly caused. I have a specific type of anxiety disorders and I have other problems because of it. I’m sure if most people looked at the end problems they would probably say “Well, what does THAT have to do with —— anxiety?” and their question would seem reasonable.

That said, I’ve gotta go out and face mine tonight for zero pay, with the hopes that if I keep pushing through I will be able to break through to a basic level of human dignity, let alone anywhere close to my potential.

Reality is that at some point,the Rockets may indeed determine that dealing with he and his issue is simply not worth the trouble, balanced against the return. Just like me and every other person not currently on the Rockets roster. My play in return for a paycheck is not a worthwhile endeavor for them or anyone else that I personally know. When and if the Rockets determine that Royce White cannot play the game,then they will let him go and he can join the many other millions who are not professional ballplayers,or keep trying till he can play. I believe his problems are very real and I hope sincerely he is able to deal with them and achieve his desire of playing in the NBA. But if he can’t,then he can’t. I wish him the best of luck in life,with or without basketball.

A) you’re fretting over how many “thumbs down” are given by anonymous people on a blog
B) you sound like a 12 year old girl by using the “SMH” acronym
C) furthermore, did you literally “shake your head” twice? Was it so emphatic that you “shook your damn head”? Does your neck hurt now?
D) I live in Houston and have followed this closely, Royce White is a narcissistic dope. He weakens the credibility of people with actual mental issues, which is unfair to them and a shame. Do you think the Rockets “magically” changed their terms the day after White’s special on HBO? What a coincidence! Royce milked it for as long as he could.

If he can get over the mental side, he can be nasty

I don’t care for his sob story. I was concerned at first until I realized that he was just acting like a baby. This man is getting paid millions to dribble a ball and I expect him to fulfill that obligation. Get over your fear and don’t let it consume you.

SMH @ some ppl…this is a kid with issues, lets wish him the best even if it doesnt include the NBA in his future.

I can’t image being in his situation but I’m rooting for him to succeed.
