Via Cosby Sweaters:

Earlier this month, USA Today reported that Derrick Rose would not comeback until he felt he was 110 percent ready. That meant he would be completely fine with missing the rest of the season to recover from the torn ACL he suffered last season — in the first round playoff series against the Philadelphia 76ers — if it is necessary. It has been nine months since the injury, and there haven’t been any major hiccups on his road to recovery. He is already participating in full contact practices and apparently dunking for weeks now. This is the first footage of him actually doing so — and of course, he is still favoring his good leg — but it’s a step forward.

Let’s all hope Rose a perfect recovery, and that he returns to this form soon.

This version of D-Rose is the best. Getting a little bit giddy over here, especially at the thought of the end of those awful Adidas commercials. Take them off the air, please.

2 Comments:
  • Listening to some of Rose's comments, I just don't think he trusts his knee yet and if he doesn't, I hope he doesn't try and come back until he does.
