Derrick Rose, the No. 1 draft choice of the Chicago Bulls and the NBA, will step into a Kane County court to face charges of driving more than 100 m.p.h. on the Reagan Tollway, his attorney said Tuesday. Rose, 19, who lives in Chicago's West Englewood community, was driving a 2008 Land Rover on April 29 when he was stopped at 2:58 a.m. about a mile west of Illinois Highway 47 for allegedly going 106 m.p.h. in a 65-m.p.h. zone, according to Kane County court records. He is scheduled to appear in court July 11.

Let's see here! 19 (still in college), driving a 2008 land Rover, out at 2:58 AM, speeding at 106 mph!

Yet another illustrious NBA career blossoming!

July 2, 2008  08:02 AM ET

Oooops. It's just beginning. If Rose does not learn his lesson now then it will be a very short career. Wake up before it gets worse.

jay williams part 2. give this man a motorcycle and see what he can do

July 2, 2008  08:53 AM ET

Nothing legal happens outside at 2:58 in the morning.

July 2, 2008  08:58 AM ET

Well at least we know he had a land rover before he got into the NBA... HMMM???

On the other hand, a 19 yr old kid that broke 100 in a car, oh he must be the first one to ever do that... Terrible person, Chicago should ask for a Draft re-do... Give it a rest people, who cares...

Im sure the 4 of you already bashing him have never done that...

July 2, 2008  09:11 AM ET

He plays for the Bulls, he needs to get a motorcycle.

July 2, 2008  09:15 AM ET

Again if this isn't a bad sign for chicago, its about to get worse. he's 19 and back in the city he is from. Not good. This was way after the NCAA tourney huh? No surprises here

July 2, 2008  09:21 AM ET

Who cares? We all like to drive fast. 120mph is slow to me.

July 2, 2008  09:26 AM ET

The next Jay Williams! I hope the Bulls get atleast one season out of this guy. Driving Land Rovers over 100mph, that's some crazy ****.

July 2, 2008  09:39 AM ET

He will fit in with the Bulls. Maybe Noah can be his mentor. Hahahaha

and Beasley was the one with the ISSUES
Bulls are turning into a young group of spoilt brats that need to put in line quick smart

July 2, 2008  09:56 AM ET

here is how this plays out.
my kid is 19 and just got popped for 105 in a 70
on the 101 near SLO
$890 + a 15 day license suspension
and then your insurance goes up
he can deal with it
and it is a non story
not like Carmello's DUI

July 2, 2008  10:21 AM ET

Well...we know this about Rose, he is a better driver than Lance Briggs (he totalled a Ferrari or was it a Lamborghini?).

July 2, 2008  10:30 AM ET

its a god damn speeding ticket...

when you guys were 19 years old with a brand new LAND ROVER....what would YOU do?.....you'd cruise that thing like no other!!!!

July 2, 2008  10:43 AM ET

You see, traffic is horrible in the Chi and when the roads are open, everyone drives 100mph and not just Rose!!!

 
July 2, 2008  10:47 AM ET

talk about over reaction...

my question is tho.. 106 seriously? in a land rover? that thing is not meant to go that fast..

it had to be a range rover....

and why is this even an issue? cus its 100+? if he was doing 70 in a 35 would it be an issue? probably not. triple digits whoaaaaaa now thats a whole diff ball game. Psh get over it.
