Derrick Rose is a guard for the Memphis Tigers and when he was seven years old, he fell off his bike and got his head run over by another kid riding a bike. Ouchies.
Now he's afraid of needles.
It doesn't help when you collide with a fellow player and get a stitch-worthy gash above your right eye. Apparently he had the cut glued in Memphis' 92-74 win over Michigan State, but blood would trickle down from the cut...At the hospital Rose broke away from Nurses and his mother who had tirelessly tried to subdue him in order to put the stitches in. He was finally strapped down and given the stitches, but he was pretty upset with everyone.
"The nurses at the hospital were holding him down and he was so scared he broke away from them and got up," his mother, Brenda Rose, said in a phone interview. "So they had to tape him to the gurney and do the stitches. He was mad at everyone that day."
Memphis won the game, but with Rose in the locker room the Tigers were outscored 17-4; Not so good. Rose said he hoped the cut didn't bleed, but if it did, he said through a morose grin, "I'll just have to hide it from the ref."
