Derrick Rose: 'I Don't Care' About Pregame Dancing At All-Star Game

When the Eastern Conference unveiled its starters for the NBA All-Star Game last  night in Orlando, four of the five men were more than happy to strut their stuff and dance onto the floor during pregame introductions. The fifth was Derrick Rose, who's said he's not a fan of the pregame dancing.

"I can dance," Rose told Nick Friedell of ESPN Chicago. "But there's a time and place for that, and I don't think it was right, then and there."

Rose was mocked for his decision not to dance -- while LeBron James, Dwight Howard, Dwyane Wade and Carmelo Anthony were into it, Rose stood quietly off to the side, away from his All-Star teammates. To Rose, to dance or not to dance was a non-issue.
