Chicago Bulls' point guard Derrick Rose has reportedly made a kind gesture, offering to help pay for the funeral of 6-month-old Jonylah Watkin, who was shot multiple times by a gunman on Monday as her father changed her diaper on the front seat of his minivan in Chicago.
According to NBC Chicago, a Watkin family spokesman said Rose made the offer, but the three-time All-Star has not publicly confirmed it.
Rose has been sidelined all season after sustaining a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee during Game 1 of the first round of the NBA playoffs against the Philadelphia 76ers on April 28.
Rose had surgery on his injured knee in May, and his return could be imminent.
Referring to his injured knee, Rose said, "I think I can do everything. It's just me having the confidence to do it, just me feeling normal."

Jordan never delivered like this to my knowledge. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Rose >>> MJ

D-Rose is a Chicagoan for life. Don't ever make any trade proposals involving Chicago's finest.

Re: Report: Derrick Rose to pay for 6 month old funeral
Funny story, but back in 2006 my grandmother died. I told my local news station that John Travolta offered to pay for the services. Of course he never made the offer, but when reached for comment he confirmed my story with the action ten news. 4 days later, his representatives sent us a check for $13k. :bowdown:

Re: Report: Derrick Rose to pay for 6 month old funeral
Rose should be more popular in chicago than MJ. He's not a douche who doesn't care about the fans like MJ was. Rose is a great guy

Re: Report: Derrick Rose to pay for 6 month old funeral
Rose is a genuinely good man. I don't think anyone has ever doubted that.

Re: Report: Derrick Rose to pay for 6 month old funeral
I hope he threw in a few more bucks though. Paying for the funeral is great and all, but I'm sure they could use a little extra.

Yeah like give them a brand new home, car and pay for thier bills the next 2 years. I mean Derrick Rose can support that with his contracts with Bulls + endorsements yanno. :facepalm
You do realize the father was affiliated with a gang? Thats the reason the poor baby was killed in the first place. Giving them a little extra to who exactly?

Who gives a f*ck if the guy was associated with a gang? So is Rose. Rose is giving up at least 10k for a funeral, so why not throw the family a bit extra if he's in a giving mood?
Why are you even in a Bulls thread? You've got your all mighty Sixers to jack off to... I mean that Hawes/Bynum starting lineup has been destroying the league.

He's IN A GANG. He was SHOT AND TO BE KILLED not because he trolled them on an online messageboard you dumbass. That little baby is still here if her father wasnt involved in a f*cking gang. You're a f*cking idiot for not having the brain to think this up.
So yeah throw the family which includes the father money for no reason. You dont question the female/mother for getting knocked up by a gang banger and most importantly allowing that infant to travel with the father knowing he is in a gang. Knowing how crazy gang life in Chicago is. You nor I know if the "family" you want to give money too for ahhhhh well f*cks sake is even worthy of a handout. But who cares just give it to them. Shut up kid.
Why dont you throw the family some money? How about the next homeless person you walk by you think of this thread and give up money? Shut up kid part II.
Bulls thread or Derrick Rose off the court thread? Damn you're one dumb kid but usually emotions b!tches dont think. Thats your case here. Why are you in this thread? Derrrr derrrrr derrrrr :rolleyes:
Now you want to bring up the Sixers. Irrelevant. Go create a thread and I'll enter it ok? Then proceed to shyt all over you like a bird does a car that was just washed. How about it bud? Shyt has nothing to do with showing Rose respect for a good gesture, mentioning MJ never coming thru like this and oh how dumb you were to suggest why doesnt Rose throw the money some extra money and get them a reality tv series. Shut up kid part III.

This is all true.. BUT
This should be about the DEAD CHILD. That kid didn't get to pick the hand he was delt. Pay for the kids funeral. Pay respects to the one that is dead in that box. It's not about the parents, it's about the kid.

I never introduced the parents in this discussion. That idiot did. He wants money to the family. Family being a reputed gang banger 28yrs old with a rap sheet and some nitwit female who let this loser in life knock her up only to put an innocent baby in harms way due to his ignorant lifestyle. Yeah give them some "bread" as he said. What a moron.

Re: Report: Derrick Rose to pay for 6 month old funeral
I love how he hasn't publicly confirmed it, shows he isn't doing it for the attention or for people to think he's such a great guy.
Just making an amazing gesture not caring if anybody even knows about it

Maybe LeBron should take some notes from the guy who stole his MVP and not tip $1?:oldlol:

Rose is an incredible role model and person. Hats off to him.

Re: Report: Derrick Rose to pay for 6 month old funeral
Don't see how anyone can dislike this guy. Such a selfless act. He probably didn't care if this went public, he just wanted to help someone out.

Re: Report: Derrick Rose to pay for 6 month old funeral
This is the second funeral he's paid for. The first was a kid that got murdered getting off the bus. He was a friend of the unknown rapper Lil Jojo who was murdered by friends of Chief Keef.
He paid for the funeral and Lil jojo fans decided to take over the funeral and disrespect the family. Shame they did that. The family left when they over crowded the church singing the song that got him killed and almost knocked over the casket.
The 6-month old got murdered a block away from where my aunt lived.

Family should have just opened fire on the fans for being disrespectful. Judge would have let them off the hook anyway.
