How Did Derrick Rose Impress His Teammates At Memphis - By Using His Vertical To Jump Over A Bar And Join Them In A Fight

This is an all-time image here. Derrick Rose - and really that whole Memphis team - out at the bar before Rose clears a bar to join a fight. First off, how much of a goddamn lunatic do you have to be to try and fight Joey Dorsey?

Dude was first team don't fuck with. Shit, that entire Memphis team was don't fuck with. Robert Dozier, one of the guys telling the story here. Joey Dorsey. Chris Douglas-Roberts. Shawn Taggart. Just a bunch of dudes you don't want to get in a bar fight with. I don't care if Joey Dorsey was drunk as hell and wanted to stay on the bar. If he wants to stay on the bar, that's exactly where he's staying. Not to mention this team was loaded. You think the 80s Miami football teams or any of the FSU football teams or current Alabama teams get told to get off the bar? I don't think so. 

But back to the scene here. Clearing a damn bar while wearing Timbs is one of the more athletic feats I've ever heard. Remember how Deonte Burton won a dunk contest in Timbs? 

Or Pat Bev working out before last season on the beach while wearing Timbs

Love the idea of the entire bar just stopping and staring as Rose cleared the bar before resuming the fight. That's how a team is brought together. If you're not getting into at least one fight alongside a teammate during the year, I don't want anything to do with your team. Sure these stories don't come out until way later, but in normal times you need a little scrap. Then again not everyone has Derrick Rose to steal the show:
