About that little Derrick Rose picture
Tremendous Upside Potential —
... I am a little peeved, though, that TUP (and dabullz) wasn't
credited most places. Would it kill you, Chicago Tribune, to give the name of
my Web site rather than citing a "non-mainstream Chicago sports blog"? ESPN is
even worse. Hardwood Paroxysm was the first big blog to pick up on the story
and not link back here. When ESPN wrote their story - which was on the front
page - they gave a shout-out only to HP. Why? Well, maybe it's because HP is on
TrueHoop's network. ...

Deadspin —
... a lifestyle? With a white player, it should go without saying, this would all be chalked up to nothing more sinister than youthful indiscretion. With Rose, however, some jittery people seemed to think there was cause for concern: DaBullz.com: There's not really a lot to comment on this picture, other than it looks like there is a lot of smoke in that room, and to say that I hope that Rose isn't down with the gang lifestyle. Hardwood Paroxysm: It's common knowledge that there's a very big gang structure ...

Derrick Rose Appears in Photo Flashing a Gang Sign, Apologizes
FanHouse —
by Brett Pollakoff Filed under: BullsThis photo has been making the internet rounds over the past few days, and it features a younger Derrick Rose flashing what appears to be some sort of gang sign. Gang signs and professional athletes, as you might imagine, don't mix very well. Especially if you're the multi-million dollar organization, or the multi-billion dollar league that employs the athlete in question. Quite simply, it's bad PR, which in turn is bad for business. That's why Rose issued a statement ...

... Why? Maybe it’s the culture of the internet. Probably, it’s the fan blogger’s dreams of how their athletes should be. For the record, Brandon speaks complete truth. He doesn’t say it in the language 99.9 percent of the NBA’s fan/blogger/reporter base would with their acquiantances. But he’s right on the money.
As we’ve learned, athletes being themselves is too much for most fans who buy tickets.

After Long Silence, Derrick Rose Speaks
MOUTHPIECE Blog // A Chicago-Addled Sports Blog —
We all know what Derrick Rose’s off-season has been highlighted by: the Memphis SAT scandal and a photo of him flashing a gang sign. Besides a statement he released after the photo incident and this workout video, Rose has been rather quiet.
But yesterday he opened up to reporters for the first time since it’s all gone down. And for a guy that’s not much of a talker, he had some great things to say.
From K.C. Johnson:
It’s been tough,” Rose said. “But I have to know ...
