The cameras were rolling. The good-natured trash talk was flying. And the video game commercial was nearing completion earlier this month in Los Angeles.
Derrick Rose says he didn't want the experience to end. Humble to a fault, Rose still doesn't picture himself worthy of rubbing elbows with the game's elite. So the second-year Bulls guard had an ulterior motive to sharing a set with Kobe Bryant. "When you're around people like that, of course you can learn a lot," Rose said Sunday following practice. "How they manage themselves, how they eat, how they treat people, how they take care of their business, how hard they work, how they act all day. "If Kobe's not the most competitive person in the league, I'd like to see the person who works harder. That's Kobe. He wants to win everything. I want to win everything. I guess it's something that's just born in you." Comedian Chris Hardwick joined the commercial shoot, so there were more laughs than lessons. Still, Rose soaked up as much Kobe Karma as possible. "I just wanted to ask him about winning," Rose said. "I was asking him about [the Lakers] getting [Ron] Artest and how good their team would be. It was a cool experience." Rose first met Bryant while still at Simeon High when Bryant made promotional stops for a shoe company during Rose's junior and senior years. "I was surprised he remembered me," Rose said, seriously. Perhaps Bryant has heard of something called the Rookie of the Year award. Not only did Rose, of course, win that, but he averaged 25 points and 6.5 assists last season in his two meetings against Bryant and the Lakers. Rose said their on-court conversation in those games was brief -- "He'd say 'what's up' or 'hi' but nothing deep" -- and the Lakers won both games anyway. "That's all he cares about is winning," Rose said. "I remember in those high school visits, I asked him all the questions about how much he worked out. And when I played against him at the Team USA trials, you could tell how much he worked out." In that regard, Rose can be similar to Bryant. He spent his offseason in Santa Monica exhaustively working to extend his range, even though he feels no extra pressure to score more with Ben Gordon departed for the Pistons. "We have players to take that step for us," Rose said. "If the team needs me to shoot more, I will. If not, I'll pass. But of course I feel more comfortable with my jump shot because of how hard I worked. If somebody sags off this year, I'm definitely going to shoot the ball with confidence." Minutes after saying this, Rose sank six straight three-pointers. Rose made it look as easy as a video game.

yeah I had to pick one of the five Kobe threads to throw a jab in, it was either the
"Guys guys guys, you won't believe it, Kobe is doing ab crunches with Hakeem!" or the "Hey guys, breaking news, check out at all the cool things this guy said about my Kobe! " decided to roll with the least relevant |
