Derrick Rose Flashes Gang Sign at Party, Devin Harris Knows Whats Up

It looks like Derrick Rose may be in some trouble again.  Fresh off the heels of his recent SAT controversy, a new photo has surfaced depicting Derrick Rose making a gang sign.  Here it is:

This doesn’t reflect too well on the kid, but on the other hand, he’s just a kid and he was just messing around.  He has never been in any real trouble except for recent media-created drama (unsubstantiated SAT scandal and now this nonsense).  Here was Rose’s reaction:

“This photo of me was taken at a party I attended in Memphis while I was in school there, and was meant as a joke … a bad one, I now admit. I want to emphatically state, now and forever, that Derrick Rose is anti-gang, anti-drug, and anti-violence. I am not, nor have I ever been, affiliated with any gang and I can’t speak loudly enough against gang violence, and the things that gangs represent.

“In posing for this picture, I am guilty of being young, naive and of using extremely poor judgment. I sincerely apologize to all my fans for my mistake.

Yeah we forgive you.  I don’t get the big deal anyways.  Its not like NQTC readers haven’t seen you flash this symbol before.

Albeit it looks more like he’s retarded than that he is flashing a gang sign, but Devin Harris seems to be cool with it.

Good apology from the kid. Seems sincere enough.

I mean…considering he grew up in Englewood…and he’s throwing up GD signs, let’s call it a VERY bad joke. Like Hitler making Jew jokes bad…or me using Hitler hyperbole to illustrate a point bad.
