For all the NBA fans, does it change your view on Derrick Rose?

Personally, as a Chicago resident and Bulls fan, it really doesn't. This photo was apparently taken when he was at Memphis and stupid things happen when you're in college. As a basketball player, I think Rose is absolutely brilliant. The way the doubters came full force during the preseason was ridiculous. The fact that Rose shut those doubters up by winning the ROY award and through his superb playoff performance really impressed me. The SAT scandal on top of this controversial photo will again bring the doubters of Rose's maturity. Luckily for Rose, he still has a long ways before reporting to training camp so by then, he should be able to focus on basketball.

lol, nowadays it addition to pics, you got videos too. I'm not at all surprised the Memphis scandal is happening. Look at what Alabama is going through, although, textbooks are ridiculously expensive so I understand that scandal more than having someone else take your SATs

does anyone know what the name of the gang he is putting up the sign for is

yeah i'm an expert on gang signs. when i'm not collecting baseball cards i roam the streets with my fellow thugs

but seriously, are we surprised at all? memphis players are not the most clean, whether its Joey Dorsey and his terrible attitude, or Rose throwing gang signs, or Robert Dozier clearly cheating on the SAT. Integrity is not high on the list of traits that Calipari looks for in his recruiting. I'm thinking that's the reason why UNC didn't look real hard at players like John Wall or Renardo Sidney in this year's recruiting class, because they aren't known to have great character.

I heard it was a blood sign... and the guy standing behind him was wearing blue... LOL

This looks like a setup.... I still like the Micheal Phelps photo the best...
