summers just getting jumped off the bulls training camps haven't started yet and the police already got Englewood's no. 1 draft pick jumping through hoops. Kane County hating ass don't have nothing better to do than put out negative press on one of Chicago's own because he has the potential to be a positive influence on the kids from the hood and all they got is flood waters and FEMA checks meanwhile Rose signed a deal for $15 million. story follows:
Rose, 19, who lives in Chicago's West Englewood community, was driving a 2008 Land Rover on April 29 when he was stopped at 2:58 a.m. about a mile west of Illinois Highway 47 for allegedly going 106 m.p.h. in a 65-m.p.h. zone, according to Kane County court records. He is scheduled to appear in court July 11. State motor vehicle records indicate the Land Rover was registered to Wasserman Media Group, the Chicago sports management firm representing Rose. On April 15, two weeks before he received the ticket, Rose announced he was entering the NBA draft.
Former Bulls guard B.J. Armstrong, who now works for Wasserman Media Group, the agency that represents Rose, was contacted Tuesday night and informed of the incident but had no comment. ''I know I did something dumb,'' said Rose, the former Simeon star whom the Bulls made the No. 1 pick in the NBA draft last week. ''I made a big mistake. I'm very sorry, and I can only promise that it will never happen again.''
Rose said he was not going or returning from anywhere in particular when he was stopped but was just taking a long drive to clear his head. The charge is a misdemeanor because of the speed at which Rose was allegedly traveling. The maximum sentence is 1 year in the county jail, but first-time offenders are frequently sentenced to traffic safety school and a fine.
