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.

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.

D , it aint nothing to be sorry for. A lot of us were succumb to that way of life as adolescence, we grow and learn from the negative, and make them into a positive. I’m from the same areas you from,and i’d be dam if i’m ashamed in anyway. GDN forever. Free Chief. GO BULLS!!!

i mean when you famous people are going to try to find a flaw in the kid. just because he was making hand geustures doesn’t neccessary means he’s gang affiliated. i think it’s because of the area he grew upin but i don’t think noone should be judge that a way. i’m from around the same area he is we just learn from our backgrounds and try to better ourselves so we want become another statistic because that’s what people want keep up the good work d. rose im one of your biggest fans you have my MVP VOTE
