(Pastors disagree over new Oxygen reality show ‘Preachers of LA’!ENDVALUE!)
(Derrick Rose Team USA- Don't worry about knee soreness)

The optimism surrounding Rose has been sky high since the start of Team USA's training camp, but that momentum came to a halt when the point guard sat out two consecutive practices to rest his knees. While Coach K said Monday聽 that the rest was planned, Chris Sheridan of SheridanHoops.com set off some alarm bells by reporting Rose聽.
Not everyone is singing its praises, however.

Sheridan's report was confirmed by both聽 and聽:
The upcoming show will follow six 鈥渕ega-pastors鈥?in the City of Angels as they live their lives, preach their sermons and tend to any lost sheep in their communities.
+
A source familiar with Rose's condition told ESPNChicago.com's Nick Friedell that Rose has been bothered by knee soreness since his return to the floor Saturday night in an exhibition victory over Brazil in Chicago and requested the extra time to recover. But Team USA officials, to this point, have downplayed concerns about Rose's status.
Offering a glance into the holy order, the series will focus on daily 鈥渟truggles and triumphs鈥?in the ministers鈥?personal and professional lives, as well as how they balance their commitments.

Pessimists may want to push the panic button here, but there's little reason to do such a thing. Throughout these last <a href=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Tory-Burch-Verona-Mini-Bag>Tory Burch Outlet</a>  few years, we've heard how knee soreness is simply a part of the recovery process after major knee surgery. When you've played such little basketball in a game setting at a high intensity level over a long period of time, it's only natural to feel that soreness when you return.
Call it an act of God or scandalous covenant, local pastors have a few words to say on the matter.

Rose himself isn't worried about it, and Tom Thibodeau said they anticipated soreness,聽:
鈥淚鈥檓 totally against it,鈥?Pastor William J. Smith of Saint Tabernacle Church in L.A. tells theGrio. <a href=http://www.alportico.net/page.php?sale=True-Religion-Big-T>True Religion Big T</a>  鈥淲hen you put the church in the category of all these other shows 鈥?though I don鈥檛 watch them, I don鈥檛 have time for that foolishness 鈥?it demeans the church. It brings it down and it takes away the value of why it鈥檚 here. That鈥檚 why the church is in the condition that it鈥檚 in. Because the church has, in a sense, aligned itself with themes of the world.鈥?

"Saturday night was the first time for all the players to play again, so we were anticipating soreness the next day," said Thibodeau, an assistant on USA Basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski's staff. "For Derrick, he had not played since November. We knew there'd be more for him. We just gave him a day or two (off), let him get his legs under him and we'll see where he is tomorrow."
Smith argues the public already ridicules the church, thus this heightened display of attention will provide ammunition for their scorn.
+
This is just a reminder <a href=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Michael-Kors-Puffer-Jacket>Michael Kors Puffer Jacket</a>  that it's going to be a process for Rose to return to playing at an elite level. It's not something that's going to happen overnight. It's easy to get caught up in all of the hype when people are talking about how he has "no restrictions" and how he looks so great in practice, but Sheridan says some of the optimism <a href=http://www.alportico.net/page.php?sale=True-Religion-For-Kids-On-Sale>True Religion For Kids On Sale</a>  may have been overstated. Aggrey Sam even has a source saying there's still a chance Rose ends up withdrawing from the FIBA Basketball World Cup because of the burden he may have to carry, which would certainly be a bummer, but not the absolute worst thing in the world.
鈥淲hen one falls, we all fall or we鈥檙e all no good,鈥?he points out. 鈥淣ow, I鈥檓 not against prosperity because God wants these people to prosper, but there鈥檚 a way off course being flamboyant and boasting about our prosperity.鈥?
+
Rose likely won't start in Team USA's exhibition against the Dominican Republic on Wednesday due to the team's policy of having to practice the day before a game in order to start. However, he's still expected to suit up and play, although perhaps he doesn't see as much floor time as he did against Brazil.
He adds, 鈥淭hat causes people to look down on us. Our job is to preach the gospel, and to reach people. It鈥檚 not to match wits with the world.鈥?

From the son of preacher man

Conceived by real-life pastors鈥?kids, Preachers of L.A. was created by Lemuel Plummer, executive producer of Vindicated and producer of The Sheards, and Holly Carter, executive producer of <a href=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Christian-Louboutin-Fastissima>Christian Louboutin Fastissima</a>  106 Gospel and The Sheards, as a means of building awareness of the faith community and the extent of a preacher鈥檚 path.

Pastors on the show include Bishop Noel Jones, Minister Deitrick Haddon, Bishop Clarence McClendon, Pastor Jay Haizlip, Pastor Wayne Chaney and Bishop Ron Gibson.
+
In the previews, the men are shown wearing tailored suits and sunglasses, tattooed, flanked by an entourage and driving around in fancy cars.
+
Growing up in the church, the producers wanted to portray unsung realities they witnessed, and the pressures placed on preachers and their families.
+
Regardless of benevolent aims, Smith says putting the church on this platform disgraces its stature.

鈥淲e should represent Jesus here on this Earth today,鈥?he explains. 鈥淲e have to separate ourselves from the themes and the limelight of what people are doing today as far as commercializing the Bible.鈥?

The plus side of opening Heaven鈥檚 gate

While Smith may disapprove of such glorified exhibitions, other clergymen see a positive angle to the promotion.

Reverend Mark Whitlock of Christ Our Redeemer Church in Irvine, CA knows several of the pastors involved, and feels it is an opportunity for people to understand <a href=http://www.radiorcs.com/page.php?sale=Jimmy-Choo>Cheap Jimmy Choo Shoes</a>  how difficult the life of a preacher can be.

He hopes there will be a 鈥済reater appreciation鈥?for the job, however he does express reserves for the way reality TV can misconstrue a story.
