The New York Knicks training camp just got under way a few days ago and new signing Derrick Rose is already claiming corpses in practice.
While the holiday season is still three months away, Rose gifted his backup Brandon Jennings a pair of skates with this filthy behind-the-back crossover that left him reaching for wind.

Rose ended the play masterfully by quick-faking a pass to the corner and finishing with a teardrop in the paint.
Jennings was caught reaching yet again in the next play, as Rose blurred by him on his way to another teardrop layup in traffic.
Jennings was stripped in the very next possession of the ball, then Rose delivered a crisp bounce pass to the trailer for an easy lay-in.
These are encouraging signs for a team that very much relies on Rose's health and ability to contend for a playoff spot in an Eastern Conference that has gotten sterner this summer.
