Bulls point guard Derrick Rose is among 20 NBA players who will donate $1,000 for every point they score to a relief fund benefiting recovery from the March 11 earthquake and tsunami that ravaged Japan.

Along with fellow All-Stars Al Horford of the Atlanta Hawks, Russell Westbrook of the Oklahoma City Thunder, Pau Gasol of the Lakers and other players from Rose's agency, Wasserman Media Group, the MVP candidate will make donations based on games held from Friday through Sunday. Rose's donation will be based on his scoring in Friday night's Bulls home game against the Grizzlies.

The effort is being led by medical relief organization Direct Relief International, which has formed the Japan Relief and Recovery Fund with the Japanese American Citizens League.

Rose is averaging 24.9 points per game this season

Remember the last time this happened? The Suns do. I hope he has similar performance. He absolutely annihilated the suns.

Smoooooth Rose.

Hey Stan, why isn't Dwight doing this? Obviously this is just Rose trying to buy more MVP votes.

It always feels like when a player i root for does something like this, they dont have a great night. But still, i never doubt D-Rose.

You know what would really piss stan van off? If Rose only scored 15 points, and after the game apologized for not scoring more for Japan, and up it to $3,000/point.









idk why I'm on such a "screw stan van" kick today.

Rose didn't have a great night tonight...still jacking up too many friggin' 3's...but I don't think Japan will get upset about getting $26,000 from the NBA's MVP.
