Can we just get the real story already

A knife for carving apples while in bed results in a 10-inch gash on his back.

Do you think the agents/PR people laugh to themselves when they are making up these excuses?

by CJ Bulls on Dec 8, 2008 12:56 PM CST reply actions  

I don't really care

maybe he was carving up the apple to smoke a bowl.

I guess I don't either

but reading these made up stories is annoying. I’d rather they either not report it or just be honest about it.

HAHAHAHAHA

at least he wasn’t up in joakim’s crib

by chicagosports23 on Dec 9, 2008 1:55 PM CST up reply actions  

No but I also don't think he had a knife

capable of producing a 10-inch cut, laying in bed with him while he rolled around.

by CJ Bulls on Dec 8, 2008 2:20 PM CST up reply actions  

it's not in the back, and it's not 10 inches!!

But still, it really seems to me like this apple story is a made up silly excuse to cover something maybe more annoying to reveal…

by simonswiss on Dec 9, 2008 2:02 PM CST up reply actions  

10-stitch

not 10 inch. It doesn’t say how big the cut is, though likely it is much smaller if it only needed 10 stitches.
So his story is possible, if still not very plausible.

by ajc53 on Dec 8, 2008 4:28 PM CST up reply actions  

Whoops

mis-read. I was wondering what JeffD was talking about above. Either way, 10 stitch gash doesn’t sound like something that’s easy to create, even if you accidentally roll on your knife in bed.

Seriously?

You’re talking 1"? 2" at the most? It’s not hard at all.

by tyger1147 on Dec 8, 2008 5:49 PM CST up reply actions  

Really?

Lay a knife down you would use for apples, even the sharpest knife in your house on your bed. To roll on it at the correct angle just to cut your arm is difficult. Especially enough of one to require 10 stitches.

by CJ Bulls on Dec 8, 2008 7:07 PM CST up reply actions  

why don't you do it and get back to us

maybe we can call the csi guys in. people on realgm are speculating that it was a defensive wound. So there are numerous gumshoes on the case. :)

i've had ten stitches for a cut before...not that big....

anyways if anyone here has ever cut themselves…..skin is not exactly tough to cut through…this could of easily been done with any sort of knife….the moment it cuts the skin…its very easy to keep cutting.

by masputo on Dec 9, 2008 2:47 AM CST up reply actions  

This is why the Bulls need Jamaal Tinsley

Tinsley can wriggle through a hail of automatic gunfire passing through his car with nary a scratch.

That must be some paring knife. Hope it is indeed, not serious.

I actually hope this report is true.

And Rose wasn’t trying to fight for a girl again. The last time he tried that, he got his ass kicked.

If it's a true story,

that’s pretty damn stupid. If that’s a cover story, it’s still pretty damn stupid.

But on the other hand, I can’t really think of a better story to explain a knife wound on a forearm that required 10 stitches.

well how about

I didn’t have any clean dishes so I was reaching into the washing machine to grab one and one of my d-bag room mates put a large knife in the silverwear basket pointing upward and it cut the crap out of me while I was reaching for the dish?

by silentpete on Dec 8, 2008 3:56 PM CST up reply actions  

Wouldn't you have to be falling into the dishwasher, with no way to stop your

momentum, for that to produce a cut requiring 10 stitches? I mean, it is one way you could get a cut on your forearm, but when that’s happened to me it hasn’t been more than a band-aid thing at worst. I mean, with stitches it’s not just a question of length of cut, but depth too.

It is kind of their purpose in life.

But you still have to be in a situation where something is putting some pressure on the knife, which is why I said above I didn’t have any better stories for it – rolling on a knife could easily put you in a position where you can’t remove yourself quickly enough to avoid the cut. In my experience, while it’s easy to scratch or poke yourself on something while reaching into the dishwasher, there’s just not the kind of pressure between sharp object and body part to produce more than a superficial injury, no matter how sharp the object is. You feel pain and jerk back before anything more can happen.

It’s still pretty damb dumb to be cutting anything in bed, which is not a solid, firm surface (even using a cutting board on your lap isn’t very secure), much less to just leave the knife there afterward, presumably all sticky and covered with the juice from the apple (which is just gross in a bed), and forget about the fact that you have something dangerous there. But I’m presuming that’s what really happened, because if it’s a cover story it’s an incredibly dumb one.

So, if you routinely get cuts in your forearm requiring quite a few stitches, I apologize for the sideways insult – I still say cutting yourself on a knife you forgot you left in your bed is way on the dumbshit end of the spectrum.

Man-slave, bring me my PB&J!

by wjb1492 on Dec 8, 2008 6:09 PM CST up reply actions  

I guess.

I’ll admit, I haven’t studied this situation in-depth nor am I an expert on the pain-response action of humans. I do know, however, that knives are sharp and are designed to cut stuff.

as some one who occasionally eats apples

I have an apple in my left hand a knife in my right. I then cut of pieces of apple and eat them. At no time would I require a flat surface or a cutting board. Unless I’m making pie filling or something,

I hope this doesn't end up like Curry

Curry started working out and eating healthy and was promptly rewarded with weird heart issues. Next thing you know, he goes to New York and all those good habbits are no where to be seen.

Pre draft all we heard was how Rose lived on sweets. Now comes a story about him eating healthy and he darn near chops is arm off. I wouldn’t be suprised if he never touches a fruite or vegetable again.

by silentpete on Dec 8, 2008 3:52 PM CST reply actions  

Um, do you honestly believe he was trying to cut fruit in his bedroom?

He was clearly trying to get the last slice of pizza, and Aaron Gray used his T-Rex instincts and tore his arm up.

ok,

Knives don’t stand up on a bed, they are on the ground. So even if he had contact with it, it would be a minor scrape or a little wound at best. So basically this is all a lie, and a coverup by D-Rose.

I don’t want him to turn into walking artwork like iverson, marbury, beasley among others. Hope at all costs he avoids the hideous neck tattoos, which are worse than the one on tyson’s face.

These athletes and their knives, guns, hot tubes, pick up games...

I mean, these pros seem to get hurt on a fairly consistent basis. Kerry Wood falls out of a hot tube, Aaron Boone gets hurt during a pick-up game, and now Derrick Rose cuts himself while peeling apples in bed.

Well, good news is it’s not like he sneezed and had back spasms (I’m looking at you Sammy Sosa). I guess we’ll see how this injury affects him tonight.

Why is it so hard to belive?

Anyone who’s ate healthy knows that means alot of prep time in the kitchen and a lot of time cutting veggies/fruits. I must have cut a hundred apples last year to eat with peanut butter for a small meal(good carbs/sugars w prote in the Pbutter). To me it’s easy to imagine myself goin into the kitchen grabin’ a knife, paper plate and apple and for whatever reason(espn highlight maybe) running to my bedroom and placing all that on my bed. And if i have millions in the bank i prob got some high-end knives in the kitchen. It’s very possible
