    DRose Slices and Dices - in Rather Painful Fashion


    “According to a Bulls public relations source, the rookie guard cut himself at home while slicing an apple in bed. Rose reportedly put the knife on his bed and then later rolled over onto the knife, cutting his arm. Rose received 10 stitches in his arm but is expected to play Tuesday night against the Knicks at the United Center.”

    (Thanks to eagle-eyed Holly for the heads-up.)

      Ha ha ha!! what an idiot. he got hurt because he rolled onto a knife in bed. how dumb can someone be

    • Jukai Posted: Dec.8 at 3:43 pm
      *obligatory Rose isn’t just cutting through the lane joke*

    • collin Posted: Dec.8 at 3:46 pm
      he needs to start cutting to the hoop more, not cutting his arm

    • Jukai Posted: Dec.8 at 3:47 pm
      Thanks Collins!

      Who the heck slices an apple in bed to begin with? Hey Emeril, hire a chef already.

    • NBK Posted: Dec.8 at 4:05 pm
      why couldn’t he just eat the apple without a knife all together hahaha

    • Lz - Cphfinest3 Posted: Dec.8 at 4:11 pm
      Hahaha that’s almost as stupid as how I got the 51 stitches on my left arm (and 4 on my left cheek).

    • Bulls Fan Posted: Dec.8 at 4:11 pm
      This sounds kind of suspect, if you ask me.

    • ciolkstar Posted: Dec.8 at 4:17 pm
      This does sound extremely dumb. But if I were a millionaire athelete at age 20, I would be eating fresh fruit ANYWHERE I wanted to.

    • Bulls Fan Posted: Dec.8 at 4:18 pm
      I wouldn’t be surprised if we find out that a disgruntled female “fan” was somehow involved.

    • B. Long Posted: Dec.8 at 4:24 pm
      That is the either the dumbest thing or lamest excuse for getting stabbed by a crazy chickenhead that I have ever heard.

    • Scott Posted: Dec.8 at 4:25 pm
      Could have been worse… he could have stepped on his Foreman grill - cooking bacon - getting out of bed.

    • dfs Posted: Dec.8 at 4:41 pm
      wow, he’S stupid enough to leave a knife on a bed!!! still my favorite favorite player though

    • floe Posted: Dec.8 at 4:48 pm
      i don’t wanna know where the apple went.

    • Cheryl Posted: Dec.8 at 4:52 pm
      Yeah, for all those that believe that’s how it happened, I have some swamp land that’s gonna be worth triple what paid for it in two years.

    • Moose Posted: Dec.8 at 4:53 pm
      Wait, why the hell was he eating/cutting an apple in bed?

    • Cheryl Posted: Dec.8 at 4:53 pm
      Reminds me of Kobe slicing his finger dam near off “moving boxes in the garage” a few years ago.

    • Moose Posted: Dec.8 at 5:05 pm
      And my man Perk dropped a bed on his foot last year and couldn’t play for a few games. Hmm.

    • Jukai Posted: Dec.8 at 5:22 pm

    • Captain America Posted: Dec.8 at 5:27 pm
      This Rose guy has me in stitches…

    • M Cho Posted: Dec.8 at 5:45 pm
      Sometime soon, we’re gonna find out a moped is part of this…

    • Tarzan Cooper Posted: Dec.8 at 6:16 pm
      the bulls need to look into this. 10 stitches? his story is suspect

    • what Posted: Dec.8 at 6:17 pm
      Who the hell eats apples?

    • Tarzan Cooper Posted: Dec.8 at 6:18 pm
      BREAKING NEWS: dajuan wagner, while picking apples in an orchard, fell onto a pitchfork and severely injured his left leg. after a 4 hour surgery and 58 stitches, doctors say he will be back not playing basketball in 3-4 months.

    • 007 Posted: Dec.8 at 6:33 pm
      haha..where did the apple went.? hahaha

    • seppo Posted: Dec.8 at 7:40 pm
      i like his game but rose seems to be kinda injury prone. a month ago he pulled a muscle in his back, now this. i don“t know if he“ll ever be the same again.

    • Jukai Posted: Dec.8 at 8:04 pm
      Damn, Seppo! Fantastic!

    • Roy Posted: Dec.8 at 9:07 pm
      D-Rose didn’t have to slice the apples if he really wanted to eat it especially in bed. Doesn’t he have teeth? I mean anyone can eat apples without having to use a knife…

    • Amanda Posted: Dec.8 at 10:29 pm
      Okay, I have a couple notes on this because this is plain retarded.
      A- Rose can run around for 30 minutes in a basketball game yet lacks the energy to put a dirty knife in the sink?
      B- Was a magic apple, or was he just that tired and passed out after the excruciating amount of psychical strength it takes to cut an apple?
      C- I’m sure most knives fall down, especially on a bed, sideways. Why was his straight up again?

    • Anton Posted: Dec.9 at 12:04 am
      Rose is emo

    • Derrick Rose Posted: Dec.9 at 12:51 am
      Ya’ll need to leave me alone, so what if I want to cut apples in bed? I’m rich bitch!!!!!!

    • underdog Posted: Dec.9 at 4:06 am
      It’s even better than the moped.

    • German Reignman Posted: Dec.9 at 5:31 am
      and youtube already has the clip … except that it is not DRose and here it is a fork …. well, onto the clip anway http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zgbHpyCsi_0

      “It was a silly incident,” Rose said. “I was cutting up some food, and I laid on a knife getting lazy in bed. I went to get a bottle of water, came back, forgot the knife was there, then sat down and sliced my arm”…Rose shrugged off skeptical questions.
      “It’s the truth, so I’m not worried about that,” he said. “I called my mom and she was like, ‘What are you doing?’ It was just a freak accident. I was very scared. I’m going to get somebody else to cut [the apple.] I’m not cutting it anymore.”

    • Rich Posted: Dec.9 at 10:31 am
      In defense of him, he’s human. You can’t tell me people commenting on this haven’t cut themselves some kind of way, in a dumb way. Things happen. I guess some of y’all perfect. Y’all need to let this go. What else is going on out there in the news?

    • Khalid Salaam Posted: Dec.9 at 3:26 pm
      lets be real here, a girl cut him. end of story
