If the coolest guy in American History can be afraid of them, why can't a freshman guard. Yes the Fonz did not like needles. The guy could hit the top a juke box and music would start playing. He'd snap his fingers and two, three women were at his side. Ehhhhhh. 

Tigers' guard Derrick Rose is just as cool. He shoots a basketball and it goes in the bucket. He makes a pass through traffic yet he finds his man. He takes over at the end of games, he doesn't get rattled, his expression never changes. He probably doesn't sweat in the Memphis summer heat. 

But like the Fonz, Rose can't stand needles. When Rose received an inadvertant elbow during the second half of the Tigers' Sweet Sixteen game against Michigan State, a cut above his right eye opened.

When told the cut could require stitches, Rose protested so much that he cried. "I'm terrifed of needles" he admitted.

He may be super, but he's still a freshman.
