Hard to accept the fact he will never truly have that explosion that made him great tho, bouncing over Paul Gasol and getting a beautiful floaty💦he did that allll the time & made it look easy, not as easy as it looks that’s why everyone stays out the paint and shoots 3s these days lol, last of his kind🙏🏽

Wasn't huge in to basketball but living near Chicago all sports talked turned into Derrick Rose talk at this time in Illinois.

Back when bball was interesting with multiple plays, strategies and styles of play to beat the high level of defense that was allowed. Now it's just running and shooting threes or blowbys to the rim without contests cause no one can touch anybody. I'd love for games like these to return. Euroleague still plays this type of ball and games are super interesting, but obviously players are on another level in the NBA.

his mid air speed and ball handling and just how quickly he can think about what needs to be done and change his form in the matter of seconds is insane. hell never lose his basketball iq and im happy we still get to see his basketball iq even if its mainly in how he passes or tricks defenders rather than primarily being used to cut to the rim.
