If You Never Saw What Derrick Rose Did, You Would Never Believe It

[@tonyferguson9904]

D rose is a hall of famer. You can’t tell the history of nba without him. The most athletic PG. Took the league by storm. ROTY, All Star and the youngest MVP. Second coming of the bulls. The Rival of the big 3 heat LeBron. Never giving up after falling from grace. Still grinding and still getting better. Derrick rose, the people’s champion.

[@Zsazsa8484]

When Derrick was playing for the Cavs I was working at a wine bar in a suburb about 15 minutes south of Cleveland. He and his assistant randomly came in on a very slow Monday and he was seriously one of the nicest and most generous people I’ve ever met. Super chill and humble. He dropped $500 on wine and then tipped me and my coworker $100 each.

[@collinjwalsh]

I’m a Bulls fan and I love this kid so much. Watched him in High school, college and of course the NBA. I wanted him to be great in Cleveland so bad. After everything he went through I hoped that this would be his new beginning in a new city that loves sports. He could’ve been a legend there. But those injuries, man, it’s painful to think about. Just glad he’s still playing and still a good player. I watched T Wolves games, Pistons games, and I watch Knicks games. And even though he was playing for 3 different Bulls rivals, I rooted for those teams to win every single game. Just a quiet humble kid that would’ve been one of the best players ever. My favorite thing about him on the court were his unbelievable layups and the absolute smooth grace and how he could contort his body. I’ve never seen anything like it ever. Graceful.

People knew Westbrook but he was just a good young player. Also played next to KD. Curry was actually pretty underrated for the first few years. Once Elise left curry took over.

Even people who didn't like the bulls had to time in to see this amazing young man do his thing. He embarrassed every big name that dared to step onto the floor against him and he made it look way too easy. Had he never been injured, there would have been multiple championship wins for Chicago.

3:51 This is a masterpiece. Let me explain why: Everyone's goin' crazy 'bout the block, but let's appreciate the genius in the way he approaches it. He first syncs steps with the opponent during his sprint (roughly while crossing the midline), which is much harder than it sounds, especially without losing pace. Then, watch (slow down if you'd like) how his 1-2 step and jump action matches with the shooter. Near perfect sync, except for his 1st step. I'd like to assume that the off-sync first step is intentional, and critical due to the height difference between him and the shooter, in order to get the 2nd step and jump perfectly on time. Once again, this is a masterpiece.

@@3_N_Z_0 How wasn’t that his prime do you know the definition of prime dude

[@AngieCarr]

Actually we never got to see him at his “Peak” not so much his prime. I mean that’s also debatable considering he had a lot more in the tank to sustain a couple more years were it not for injury but his peak was never reached. Remember he was improving his 3 point shooting, coupling that with his explosiveness would’ve been a sight to see with fans but a nightmare for opponents…

[@hangsanity]

To me, honestly, he was a hybrid of Westbrook and Lillard in today's game. A super athlete, controllable speed, clutch genes, killer midrange, can finish at the rim, and had a lesser 3pt shot(compared to Lillard). He didn’t need to dance around for 20 seconds at every possession to cross a body over. Yes, he never beat lebron in a playoff series but the amount of damage he did to the heatles, was legendary, comparable to the og spurs and dirk winning it all against them.

What impressed me about that season was not how good he was even though he played like a top 10 player there were better players in the league. The thing that amazed me was that he didn’t his lead a horrific offense of team to 60 wins but he did it as a 22 year old and won mvp. The sky was the limit for this kid…

[@adamturner8732]

Was a pleasure watching him every night in Chicago. Before his injury.. there was not a single soul that would say, "eh he's kinda overrated" he was unbelievable Nd his finishing around the rim was uncanny. When he won MVP LBJ had killer season and even LBJ said "Yes he's the MVP" at 21 22...

D.Rose is great, but overated as hell, watch Tony Parker highlights and you will see exactly the same level of quickness and lateral speed, and the guy is the 10th playoffs best scorer of all time, TP is underated as hell and D.Rose overated as hell.
