Sliced his forearm with a knife while carving an apple? Good thing he wasn't cracking nuts with a nutcracker....

Not buying the story.

well he said he rolled over the knife in bed.  I doubt it is what happened, but it is plausible.  If a person can burn themselves trying to iron a shirt while they are wearing it, then yes, I believe a knife in the bed could happen, lol

  Maybe Irving Fryar helped him come up with it...

I'm not buying the story either. To me, it seems like the Bulls PR staff (or Rose's agent) learned from the Monta Ellis PR disaster and came up with a better presentation and delivery for Rose's so-called accident. Of course, this angle won't get pushed by the media because it doesn't look like it's going to cost Rose much, if any, time off the court. That or I'm overly cynical and Rose really did just accidentally cut himself with a knife that he left on his bed...I leave knives on my bed all the time.
