CHICAGO BULLS
Derrick Rose Rises
Following the horrific, season ending knee injury to the Chicago Bulls point guard Derrick Rose, there was much anguish over when the MVP guard would play again. For fans of the NBA, it was a bitter loss of one of the games most talented players but for Bulls fans, it was even worse. Rose’s injury essentially spelled the end for a team in desperate need of it’s star.
However this morning, Adidas (Rose’s major sponsor) released a video that may suggest this young star may not be as far away from returning to the game as once thought. It is evident that through hard work and vigorous strength and condition training, D-Rose has pushed himself to a point where he may be back before we know it. We can only hope, but things are looking up.

We’ve all heard the stories of the rich & famous having the strangest of superstitions, why they have them we’ll never really know.
Axl Rose has a bizarre superstition with the letter ‘M’, he refuses to play any city beginning with the scary ‘M’. Christian Bale likes going against superstitions and will walk ‘under’ a ladder when he sees one. Our sports heroes are the same, if a little weirder.
David Beckham will never wear the same pair of boots twice, tennis star Goran Ivanisevic had a strange superstition of having to get up from his chair on the change-over and would try to never step on any of the lines. Off the court, he was even worse. If he won a match at a tournament, he would repeat everything from the previous day – go to the same restaurant, eat the same food and try to talk to the same people. Strange!
NBA stars are no different! Continue reading
