Derrick Rose’s monster slam

Matt McHale — Fri, 05 Nov 2010 13:12:58 +0000

There weren’t many highlights for the Bulls in last night’s depressing loss to the Knicks. It was mostly lowlights involving New York players raining threes. But this bone-rattling slam dunk by Rose was awesome enough to earn its own post:

And now again, only in HD and with replays:

Sadly, this dunk would have been much more memorable in a win.

Derrick Rose: Humble in the face of sudden All-Stardom

Matt McHale — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 11:22:53 +0000

ESPN Chicago’s Nick Friedell got some face time with Chicago’s newest All-Star. Some of his answers are classic Derrick Rose. I know using the word “classic” when describing Rose might seem a little silly, given that he’s been in the Association only a year and a half. But Rose has oozed humility from Day 1. Simply put, he’s not your typical NBA player. Rose seems to be, by all indications, a humble person who truly appreciates where he’s at.

For instance, here’s what he said in response to being asked how it feels to be the Bulls’ first All-Star since MJ: “It’s cool. (Smiles) It’s cool. After I’m long and gone with the Bulls [players] after me or whatever, people will say that I was an All Star for the Chicago Bulls. I’m from Chicago. That’s a big thing.”

Another thing people are going to be saying after Rose is “long and gone” is how very lucky the Bulls organization was on that fateful day they won the 2008 NBA Draft lottery. Rose started the year off slowly because of an ankle injury, and many people — myself included — temporarily forgot what a special player he is. Well, Rose has spent the last month or so reminding us and serving notice to the rest of the league that Bulls opponents are going to be seeing this kid in their nightmares for years to come.

Here’s video of Friedell’s interview:

Watch Derrick Rose almost kill a man

Matt McHale — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 17:54:53 +0000

And that man was poor Goran Dragic. Or, after this play, Goran Tragic. If only Kevin Harlan had been around to say: “Derrick Rose…WITH NO REGARD FOR HUMAN LIFE!!”

I bet Dragic’s mom won’t even look him in the eyes anymore.

Mamba vs. Pooh

In this commercial for NBA 2K10, Derrick Rose receives an epic smack talk smack down from Kobe “My guy’s awesome because he has four rings” Bryant. Rose might not, by his own admission, be able to get out of the second round, but he already has Larry Bird-like acting skills.

Scottie Pippen: Weather man

Matt McHale — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 01:55:26 +0000

Bulls living legend and all-around snappy dresser Scottie Pippen tried to give the people of Chicago (and former teammate Toni Kukoc) some warm weather today…with no success. Thanks for trying, though, Pip.

Random thought: I wish Scottie would randomly show up at my job. That would sure break up the monotony of filling out all these TPS reports.

Video game Derrick Rose is amazing

Matt McHale — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 10:21:03 +0000

Based on this new NBA 2K10 trailer, Derrick Rose’s video game doppelgänger spent the summer working on his defense, three-point shooting and behind-the-back passing. Also, video game Rajon Rondo is a real sucker for the crossover.

D-Rose: Thanks for your support

It’s been a rough summer for the NBA’s reigning Rookie of the Year. Not only was Derrick implicated in an NCAA investigation of Memphis which allegedly involved him having someone else take his SAT, he also got blasted for a photo that allegedly shows him flashing a gang sign. The NCAA hasn’t ruled on the cheating allegations, and Rose said (through a team-issued statement) the photo was taken at a party in his Memphis days and was a bad joke.

Derrick hasn’t had much to say since those events went down, but he kinda-sorta broke his silence yesterday. According to the Associated Press: “Rose posted a 2 1/2-minute video on his Facebook page that started with him thanking fans for their support and showing clips of his workouts in Los Angeles. He did not address the issues surrounding him.” Here’s the video:

What does your game say?

Matt McHale — Mon, 16 Feb 2009 21:37:44 +0000

Check out this new Michael Jordan “commercial” (via TrueHoop via Docksquad Sports). Note the utter lack of Jordan-as-a-Wizard highlights. I’m so glad that our society as a whole simply pretends that whole thing never happened. Kind of like the Nazi moon base of World War II.

Superman III: Starring Tyrus Thomas

Matt McHale — Tue, 27 Jan 2009 19:27:25 +0000

I already posted a video of T-Time’s amazing In-Your-Face-Disgrace over Jermaine “The Drain” O’Neal, but the gentlemen at Didn’t Draw Iron added a nice little visual effect to that brutal posterization. So, with all due respect to Supermen I and II (Shaq and Dwight Howard), here’s Superman III* (via Ball Don’t Lie):

*For the record, I think it’s totally fitting that Tyrus is drawing a comparison — from me, but still — to the Superman movie that forcefed audiences a completely-out-of-his-element Richard Pryor and had Superman fighting not Lex Luthor, Zod or some other cool villain…but a rich dude and his evil supercomputer. I wonder if the script writers dreamed up even lamer bad guys that didn’t make the final cut, like Hypno Hustler or the Ten-Eyed Man.
