Video: Derrick Rose puts on a show out on the breakaway

Apr 13, 2011, 8:58 AM EDT

Maybe next season we need to start a campaign to have Derrick Rose in the dunk contest.

(Maybe we need to start a campaign to say we want the lockout to be over in time for a dunk contest, but that’s another issue).

Either way, Rose can throw it down. He got loose in the breakaway against the Knicks and put on a little show for the fans with the double-clutch reverse. Enjoy.

I though that the one where he caught a low pass at his waist while in mid air, in traffic, and then slammed it was far more impressive.
Especially for a guy who is 6’3″.

Yeah, both dunks were sick.

Also, LOL at the guy at 0:24 who calls travels on D-Rose, and after Rose dunks, he gets all pissed. Haha.

@liltmac2003 that guy wasn’t calling for a travel, he was motioning for D Rose to try a 360 and then just reacts in some sort of jubilation after the dunk. At least that’s how I interpreted it, I mean why would he be complaining about a travel while Derrick was dribbling?
