Former NBA MVP Derrick Rose recently showed off his rather humorous side during a rapid-fire interview with popular social media creator Anotherjalenn, as he delivered a set of hilarious answers that quickly had fans going nuts on social media.
Anotherjalenn, who has built a following on TikTok and Instagram through public interviews and challenge videos, had Rose take part in a series of culturally themed questions, and the former Chicago Bulls star answered each one of them without hesitation.
Question: “You ain’t got shit to eat in the crib. Name your struggle meal.”
Derrick Rose: “Ketchup sandwich.”
Question: “Ooh, that’s definitely in the trenches. How do Black girls scratch their head?”
Derrick Rose: “They pat their head.”
Question: “If you at the cookout, what kind of activity do you play?”
Derrick Rose: “Spades.”
Question: “You good at it?”
Derrick Rose: “I’m decent.”
Question: “What’s a universal curfew when you were younger?”
Derrick Rose: “Street lights.”
Question: “Ay, he going crazy right now. If Young Metro don’t trust you, what might he do to you?”
Derrick Rose: “I ain’t gonna say that, but you know… you know that, dawg.”

While Rose has always had a quiet and reserved personality throughout his basketball career, interviews like these give fans a chance to see a different side of the former NBA superstar. Known more for letting his play do the talking during his MVP days with the Chicago Bulls, Rose has quietly become more comfortable with his personality in retirement through podcast interviews and social media appearances.
For Rose, these were no basketball questions or discussions about championships or injuries. Instead, fans got to see one of the game’s most loved players joking about struggle meals, card games, childhood curfews, and rap lyrics.
It is a rather refreshing thought that even former MVPs enjoy laughing about the same jokes as everyone else.
And judging by the reaction online, Derrick Rose’s ketchup sandwich answer may end up becoming one of the most memorable moments from the entire interview.
