John Wall mocks Derrick Rose celebration (Video)
By Dave Fuqua
John Wall mocks Derrick Rose as Washington Wizards rout the Chicago Bulls Friday night.
Derrick Rose, a few weeks ago after coming back and having an incredible game, had a celebratory skip off the court during a timeout, as you may remember. Things were seemingly going pretty well for the former league MVP, who has been recovering from nearly two missed seasons in a row.
Since that time, Rose has fallen into a pretty major slump and is shooting 34.3% over his last 10 games; pretty bad numbers for a guy with a 45.5 career FG%.

Overall, the Bulls have had enough going on outside of Derrick Rose and have went 7-3 over those last 10 games, but last night the star squared off with one of the better up-and-coming point guards in the league, John Wall.
To add insult to injury, so to speak, as if this slump was not bad enough for Rose, John Wall seemingly mocked his celebratory skip off the court. Wall and his Wizards also embarrassed the Bulls on the scoreboard last night as well, by a score of 102-86.
But then again, who knows, maybe Wall was just skipping because he was happy that the Wizards took a half-game lead over the Bulls last night. For the personal battle, John Wall finished with 16 points, 12 assists and four rebounds, while Rose finished with 19 points, two assists and four rebounds.
In case you were wondering, and I know you are, the series is tied at one win apiece for each team, with the next contest scheduled for Wednesday, January 14 at 8 p.m. ET in Chicago.
