Better than that. He had a chance to be as good as LeBron or Curry. Find me someone who displays the same mix of athleticism and skill finishing around the rim. The only other dude that comes to mind is MJ. Layup-package of Kyrie, athleticism of Westbrook.
No, he wouldn't have been. He was a greedy player. Stop romanticizing him. Great point guards like John Stockton, Tony Parker, Steve Nash, Jason Kidd, etc have an even balance of points and assists. Derrick Rose wasn't even bright enough to get an SAT score that would qualify him to play division I basketball. He's probably the most overrated athlete of his generation, along with Sean Taylor.
@@RobbieStacks90ur a true causal. If u have seen mvp drose he was the complete opposite of selfish, In fact he was top 8 in assists at one point and if u have watched full sports games for Chicago bills back then around 2010-2012 drose legit was a really good playmaker he used to pass alot. And what does SAT score have to do with his iq and playmaking???!
The crazy & sad thing about his monster 2011 MVP season was, that this was never even his prime yet. We never got the chance to actually see his true prime because of his injuries. Still, too fast, too good, too strong. The youngest MVP in NBA history. Enjoy retirement, Derrrick! Thank you!
Let's not forget that Derrick Rose cheated on his SAT (and thus should have been expelled from the University of Memphis), missed free throws that would have won him a national championship, disappeared on his employer for about a week and didn't tell his bosses where he was (breach of contract and impropriety). Why is anybody celebrating this guy? Awful role model
@@RobbieStacks90how have you dedicated yourself to sitting here slandering another person 😭 just another cancel culturist who would rather focus on the negative things he has grown and learned from years ago instead of appreciating all that he did impact positively Respectfully grow as a person
Derrick Rose is a once in a lifetime talent. He had it all. Even with the ups and downs, he ALWAYS had the respect of his fans and peers. Enjoy retirement, DRose ❤️🌹
I’m emotional man… Derrick Rose is one the reasons I love basketball. I grew up watching him become a legend. His story inspires me to always persevere when life throws obstacles at you. One of the coldest to ever lace them up… Thank you D Rose. Enjoy retirement goat 🌹
This guy moved faster than everyone else on the floor nightly. One of the most exciting layup packages ever, if not the most. Still have yet to see a player marry power, finesse and body control technique in the air as well as this guy.
DRose, you’re my MJ man. Thank you for everything, I just wish I could go back in time so I can say try landing on both of your feet every time you attack the basket. Seeing most of your jumps landing on 1 feet breaks my heart.
His "prime" was pedestrian compared to a down year for Luka. Don't forget that Derrick Rose lost to an 8 seed in the playoffs. He was never big time. Lost every big game he ever played in in college and the pros
Man, I miss those days. Rose was a magical player to watch, forget highlight reel, every moment was a possible moment for the magic to show. Bulls fans will forever wish the city had won a championship with you, your legacy will always be remembered. Congrats on the retirement, Sir!
Prime Westbrook-like strength/athleticism, Prime Bron-like bounce/hangtime, Prime Kyrie-like handle/layup package (with more speed, air, and hang time), Prime Wall-like speed, Prime Kobe-like shot difficulty (and makes it) and he was ONLY 22. Youngest MVP for a REASON.
Before I became a Steph Curry fan, I was once a Drose fan when I was still a kid, and because of Drose is what introduced me to basketball and what made me love such sport.
Man it feels like yesterday being a high schooler in Chicago watching this man light up the league. An absolute legend on and off the court. Thank you D Rose 🙏
Nephews don't understand the greatness of D ROSE. One of the greatest finishing around the rim we will ever see. Was a privilege to watch this season, truly one-of-a-kind
Thank you Rose for all the memories and amazing moments, you’re an inspiration to many who’ve suffered injuries or setbacks in their sport. You deserve a spot in the hall of fame. it’s hard to tell what you would’ve become if there wasn’t the injury, it would’ve been something else. Enjoy retirement.
At 4:23 when derrick did that tomahawk dunk with steph curry looking up at him . Rose was letting him know and the league on notice and who was coming. This was back when drose was owning every point guard matchup and taking over the league. Injuries robbed rose of his peak . Steph has championships now but rose got unlucky with the injuries. There was a time though when rose was the best point guard in the league. I still believe he could have been the best point guard ever today if it wasn’t for injuries. That highlight of rose dunking while Steph is looking up at him man how i wish there was a good picture taken of that. Rose was different and amazing to watch
He was literally hood basketball. He got in the NBA the old-school way. The MVP year literally destroyed his career. Playing at the intensity every single game got to his knees. He came out of the draft with afterburners on ready to go, no looking back, full throttle. It’s crazy to think that all all the greats took time to get to their prime, D Rose had no build up to his prime, he came in the league in his prime. Every basketball player has structure in their game, street ball has no structure and D Rose brought it to the NBA. Those are a couple of reasons that made his career that special.
Awesome comment bro this should be pinned and have 200+ likes. I agree with everything you said he gave street ball structure in the NBA. He was already in his prime 💪🏾
2:05 left hand In and out top 3pt line. Dribble drive at the free throw line. Swing step footwork . Left hand lay. 2:43 right to left Hesi go left wing. Left hand dribble drive. Pro hop avoid help middle. Right hand opposite side. 8:50 left to right cross top 3pt line (use screen). Dribble drive free throw line. Right to left cross help. Lay
Glad I finally got to see him in what would be his final season. He was on the bench for MG vs GSW. Didn't play. Such a shame the way his career was curtailed by injury. He really had that drive and desire. Cut from the same cloth as MJ and KB. Lost all confidence in his knees and his game was as explosive as any I've ever seen, so it became inevitable. Crazy to think that I held hope even as late as with MT that he'd get back to his best (had that one 50 pt game)...
My senior year of high school remember this shit like it was yesterday D Rose was a monster that year no one wanted to guard him and he deserved the MVP that year 💯💯🔥🔥
One of the most aggressive Point Guard the league has ever seen, prime D Rose charging at the rim in full speed while still having insane handles and agility was a beauty to watch and he's one of the reasons why I got into basketball in middle school. It's a shame that career altering injuries are part of being a pro athlete and I've seen it happen and impact some of my favourite agile players (Rondo, Rose and Wall) but he still had a great 15 season career that not many can have at this level. Youngest MVP Rose's legacy will live on forever and Bulls fans will not forget him for uplifting the franchise and bringing to the limelight once more
D Rose was the best Pt Guard ever to play basketball. No one was in his atmosphere. Big men didn't want any of that smoke. No one wanted it. He was taking names especially before he got hurt. Kobe was running from him. Wade didn't want it. John wall, kyle lowery, Kyrie, dressbrick , durant, curry, howard, I mean no one. They were all toast.
I know it's hard to see him go.. but we're always here to remember how great he was. I even told my friends (rookies in college basketball) that they'll just be trash when they face a prime D Rose
He got me into basketball 😢
That's unfortunate. If only you could have learned from a fundamentally sound PG like John Stockton. Derrick Rose was all hype, no substance.
@@RobbieStacks90 bro what 💀
@@RobbieStacks90 holy yap, how disrespectful can someone be
@@LukaIsTuff77help
Lowkey fax drose was that dude
If it wasn't for injuries i think D. Rose retires as a Top 5 point guard to ever play the game!
Better than that. He had a chance to be as good as LeBron or Curry. Find me someone who displays the same mix of athleticism and skill finishing around the rim. The only other dude that comes to

How ironic, the 6 or 7 team lost to 1 allstar team in the same season...
I love D. Rose, he played a huge role in my childhood. He was an idol to me growing up and will continue to be one. Hate that he’s retiring
He has a huge D
just a kid from Chicago. Thank you drose for everything, bro was so fun to watch one of the best things that happened in my childhood.

Prime D-Rose was a walking video game. So exciting to watch.
Yes it was specifically 2k11 🌹❤️
Paved the way for all these athletic guards in the league today
True 👏
What the 90s lacked
The will never be another Derrick rose, my all time favorite nba player.. on to brighter things🌹🌹🌹
I really miss the old D rose I use to play with him everyday on 2k13 he was OD in that memories man 😢💯🔥
Hes definitely in my top 10 favorite NBA players🔥🔥🔥🔥

Best player ever to win mvp at age 22!
Legendary. This version of D-Rose is the best point guard I’ve ever seen on God
Facts.
yup without a doubt
Definitely one of the best point guard that we had a chance to witness D 🌹
Versatile, powerful, explosive, speed, love how he didn't sell out to the 3pt shot. When he dunks, it looks so cool.
He will ALWAYS be my #1 baller.
Man was a god to me I watched this man every single game 😢
Drose is my favorite basketball player of all time I wished he would’ve gotten a farewell tour but I hope he enjoys retirement
Prime Westbrook-like strength/athleticism, Prime Bron-like bounce/hangtime, Prime Kyrie-like handle/layup package (with more speed, air, and hang time), Prime Wall-like speed, Prime Kobe-like shot difficulty (and makes it) and he was ONLY 22. Youngest MVP for a REASON.
Lmao stop
d rose is his own my guy 😂don’t compare and don’t say kyrie finishing cuz d rose is the best finisher point guard of all time 😂
@@PovZay I see what you saying and I think you right, but I'm just saying he got all of that with easy to understand references

This man inspired me to get better after his injury favorite pg of all time
Facts he also inspired me after I tore my ACL & MCL 🌹
Bro dis feels surreal I hope the best for this man this is only the beginning 💯
Man it feels like yesterday being a high schooler in Chicago watching this man light up the league.
An absolute legend on and off the court.
Thank you D Rose 🙏
From South Africa and a fan of basketball. Thanks for the great moments you gave.
Enjoy retirement.
D rose, amazing player, Hall of fame my bro !!!!!

Thank you for everything and your game and story will live on DRose
His quickness was unreal
Literally the player that got me into basketball. I'm bouta cry man

It’s not even close bro by the time he picks the ball up he’s already laying it in
Forever our MVP
Too fast, too strong, & too good! I wanna go HIGHER!! Thank you Derrick for putting Chicago basketball back on the map. We will miss you! 😔

Point guards today would have no chance against prime D-Rose
did not even hit prime
Too big, too strong, too fast, too good.
Look at the video pgs back then didn’t either he cooked curry John wall he cooked everyone nobody could guard him
And guess what? Rose played good D too.. they don't know bro
Thank You Derrick Rose I Wish You The Best In Your Future Enjoy Your Retirement
We will miss you🌹
