While speaking about the Team USA Olympic roster, #6 made a comment about the team that Mat believes was a direct shot at Derrick Rose.
"There's nothing that we don't have on this roster."
That was the quote from #6 after being asked about Derrick not being a part of the team.
Mat will never shy away from a chance to attack #6, but this one is almost too ridiculous to even get mad about.
#6 is just an idiot. He can't say the right thing. Why would you take a shot at a Chicago player when being questioned by Chicago media? How stupid is this guy?
If Derrick was asked the same question in a hypothetical world in which #6 was hurt, Derrick would have lauded #6's talents and said how much they miss a player like that.
Exactly what Kobe, Kevin Love, Russell Westbrook, and Kevin Durant ALL said about Derrick.
#6 just doesn't get it. He wants so much to be liked, but he doesn't know how to. It seems like every week there's another story about how this guy said something or did something (cough, the decision, cough) that alienates him to a collection of fans.
Whether he meant this one or not, which Mat thinks he probably is too dumb to realize what he actually said, he's now hated even more in Chicago than he was before.
Way to go #6, can't wait to see ya on your next visit to the UC.

What Mat, Kobe, and Russell Westbrook Have In Common
Until Mat is proven wrong, and that can't be until at least October, he is certain that the Bulls will still be a contender to win the NBA Finals next season.
Hearing this from Mat should not come as a shock to you, as this is about the 5th time he's uttered this phrase.
However, now he has some of the leagues best have Mat's back.
Kobe Bryant and the oddly dressed Russell Westbrook have each said that they expect the Bulls to be in the mix come April and May of next season.
This is no surprise as players will say that about any team you ask them about this far away from the season starting, but Kobe had some words about Tom Thibodeau that showed he wasn's just blowing smoke up ESPN Chicago's ass.
Mat also couldn't hold back a smile when he read Westbrook's quote from the piece.
Mat just asks that you have some faith... buddy.

"I felt like Thibs did a great job of putting guys in a position to be successful and they really held it down for as long as they could, man."Kobe is usually one to tell the truth. So Mat believes him, man.
Mat also couldn't hold back a smile when he read Westbrook's quote from the piece.
"He's doing well ... Chicago don't got to worry, buddy."During the regular season the Bulls still have the pieces to win a lot of games. And come playoff time, when Derrick is back, they'll be right there on everybody's radar just like they were before Rose went down.
Mat just asks that you have some faith... buddy.

Derrick Rose's Jersey is Wildly Popular
It's been revealed that Derrick Rose's jersey is the most popular in America, second in Europe and Asia, and third in Latin America.
Mat believes that he is due some (most) of the credit as he proudly wears his D-Rose jersey every single day.
It does surprise Mat that Derrick's jersey was that popular this year. In a year in which Derrick was out for a majority of the season, and the Bulls were eliminated in the first round, more Rose jerseys were sold than every other player in the league outside of Kobe.
It's astounding when you look at the fact that this is just Rose's 4th year in the league and he's not exactly the loud self promoting type such as a #6, Kobe, or Dwight Howard.
Top sales in America is amazing in itself, but the fact that his popularity has now grown to an enormous level this quickly in China, Europe, and Latin America thrills Mat.
Mat just hopes that a majority of the people who purchased those jerseys aren't afraid to come out to the UC at the beginning of the year if, and when, Derrick is not in the lineup.
