Royce White Goes After Yahoo!’s Adrian Wojnarowski On Twitter

Just look at his profile picture on twitter. You can see the fear in the mans eyes! To many microphones! Seriously though Royce white is a bum.

agree this guy is self centered. he acts like he’s the only one with anxiety disorder, instead of realizing how lucky he is to be in the nba earning millions he plays victim to his anxiety. get over it, man up, for you, your family, your team.

Royce White needs to get his head out of his ass right now. Yes he has a terrible anxiety disorder but is just taking complete advantage of it. Rockets have done nothing but give this guy everything he wants but White returns the favor by missing games and practices IN HOUSTON. White is an adult now. It’s time he acts like one.

Right, because this is exactly what you should do, Joe. Add more fire to the flames. I really hate how you’ve played this down to “personal problems.” Real example journalism. IT’S A FUCKING GAD, DUDE.

Royce White is a loser

Did you also agree to the fact that he said that Royce knew he wasn’t good and was wasting everyone’s time because of it. I think that is where Royce had the problem.

I feel for the guy because of his anxiety disorder but come on white its time to put on the big boy pants and get ur ass to work you are a complete waste of talent at this point in time

I’m not discounting that he has anxiety disorder, nor that it’s very real and difficult to manage. I lived with someone with bipolar disorder for over a year, and while it’s not the same thing, I feel safe assuming that aspects of it are very similar, particularly how difficult it is to control, how easily it’s triggered, and how debilitating it is when activated.

But at this point, this goes beyond White’s anxiety disorder. This involves his professional life. And once it involves his professional life, the disorder has to be reduced to an obstacle in his personal life. The Rockets are already conflating the issue by being so supportive, which, you know, good for them for being great about it, but all they’ve done is enabled White to blame more things on his disorder. I think if you asked ANY good psychologist/psychiatrist/whatever is appropriate here, they would tell you the best thing for anyone suffering from a disorder like this is to avoid triggers and to be held accountable so they don’t scapegoat their irrational behavior with “Oh, it’s not me, it’s my disorder.” That eliminates personal responsibility and let’s things get out of control, which is exactly what’s happening now.

I’m no doctor, obviously, but I’ve been physically and verbally attacked by someone who scapegoated their behavior by blaming it on their disorder enough that I think I have a little bit of applicable personal experience to give my opinion weight.

I didn’t read Woj’s piece that way. It sounded more like he was saying Royce hasn’t done anything in the NBA to prove he’s worth the hassle, which he hasn’t. He may be a bust for all we know. Houston might be bending over backwards for the next Kwame Brown or the next LeBron. No clue till he plays some games, which he won’t do because I think he knows this as much as anyone. If the dude can’t play, Houston will cut their losses ASAP.

You lost me when you said Woj was a respected journalist….yeah he breaks some bball stories but dude is a hack.

how much is Royce White getting paid to sit on Twitter and be a prima donna? Is he getting paid?
