The Fab Five phenom, thirteen year NBA veteran, and current ESPN basketball analyst remains in the news this week. Weeks following his infamous “Uncle Tom” comment when discussing Duke basketball players in the ESPN documentary on the Fab Five, Rose is again in the news, this time for receiving a citation for drunken driving when he was involved in a single vehicle automobile accident. According to a police report, Rose’s car went off an icy road in the Detroit area on March 11, 2011 at 2:00 a.m., and he voluntarily submitted to a blood alcohol test because he was confident it was safe for him to drive. Police said that Rose refused to take a breathalyzer test and was taken to a hospital for a blood alcohol test, however, the results were not disclosed. Like all professional athletes these days who have run ins with the law, Rose accepted full responsibly, apologized for disappointing people who trust him to serve as a role model for young people, and looked forward to a resolution of his legal matter. It’s doubtful that any more legal actions will be commenced against Rose or he will receive any jail time, however, we will find out more at his April 20, 2011 court appearance.
