The GOAT debate in the NBA is primarily between LeBron James and Michael Jordan, so because of Rose’s ties to the Windy City, one would imagine that his GOAT is Jordan, who <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/chicago-bulls/the-10-greatest-players-in-bulls-history-ranked">won six NBA championships with the Bulls</a>. Well, Jordan used to be Rose’s GOAT, but <a href="https://hoopshype.com/rumor/derrick-rose-my-goat-now-is-isiah-thomas/" rel="noopener">not anymore</a>. Now, it’s Isiah Thomas.</p><p>Michael Jordan and Isiah Thomas were big rivals back in the day, and Derrick Rose has Thomas as his GOAT because of his success against Jordan and other elite players in that era. The fact that he is also from the Windy City doesn’t hurt either.</p><p>“My GOAT now is Isiah Thomas because he’s from Chicago,” Rose said, according to an article from Hoops Hype. “The only guy who beat Magic [Johnson], Mike [Jordan], and [Larry] Bird all in their prime at 6-3. Chicago’s way of doing s**t.”</p><p>Jordan used to be Rose’s GOAT, but something changed. It doesn’t sound like it has anything to do with Jordan’s skill, but moreso the fact that Rose doesn’t see a lot of himself in MJ. They are two very different players, and that has played a role in Rose’s pick for his greatest player of all time.</p><p>“I used to say MJ, but it wasn’t MJ,” Rose continued. “I said it because I was intrigued by his story and how he won. But I’m not a two-guard. I don’t score like him at all. So it was just me just admiring his story.”</p><p>Isiah Thomas isn’t a player that comes up very often when discussing the greatest player of all time. He is certainly one of the better players to ever play the game, but he doesn’t earn the GOAT claim often. However, fellow Chicagoan Derrick Rose loves the way that Thomas approached the game, and he thinks that he is the best to ever do it.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

On Monday night, Giddey played a starring role yet again in a 135-128 win for the Bulls over the Indiana Pacers, dropping 29 points, 10 rebounds, and four assists. But he wasn’t alone in leading the Bulls to victory, as Coby White matched him with 29 points of his own — his sixth consecutive game with 20 points or more.</p><p>In the process of filling up the scoring column, White crossed the 6,000-point mark for his career — a major feat considering how young he is. In fact, he became just the sixth player in Bulls franchise history to do so at 25 years old or younger, <a href="https://x.com/chicagobulls/status/1899280527846260834" rel="noopener">joining all-time greats of the franchise</a> such as Michael Jordan and Derrick Rose. The other members of the exclusive club are Luol Deng, Reggie Theus, and Ben Gordon — with the first two being very important players for the Bulls for quite a long period of time.</p><p>White has done nothing but improve ever since assuming a larger role for the Bulls last season. With the Bulls building a young team, the 25-year-old guard is expected to play a huge role for the team for the foreseeable future, and under such a team-friendly contract as well.</p><p>With <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/chicago-bulls/bulls-news-josh-giddey-exits-pacers-game-apparent-lower-body-injury">Giddey blossoming into an incredible all-around force</a>, White is freer to assume a score-first role for the Bulls — a role that looks like it will suit him very well. And expect White to continue climbing the all-time Bulls scoring leaderboards, as he already ranks 18th on that ladder after his 29-point night against the Pacers.</p><h2><b>Coby White, Josh Giddey emerge as key pieces in Bulls’ rebuild</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Coby-White-reacting-after-making-a-three-pointer-during-the-Bulls-win-over-the-Hawks-in-the-play-in-tournament.jpg"><figcaption>David Banks-USA TODAY Sports</figcaption></figure><p>The Bulls may still be winning far too many games for their fanbase’s liking, but the performances of their young players such as Josh Giddey and Coby White as of late have been so promising that fans wouldn’t mind seeing them continue to play at their best.</p><p>Every winning team needs someone like White around to create offense for the team and wreak havoc from beyond the arc, and he’s only making around $12 million for this season and the next.

Rose is a point guard that most recently played for the Memphis Grizzlies. In September 2024, he announced his retirement from pro basketball after 15 injury-plagued seasons.</p><p>He is a former MVP and Rookie of the Year with the Chicago Bulls and a three-time All-Star that finished his career with averages of 17.4 points, 5.2 assists and 3.2 rebounds per game. Recently, the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bulls-news-chicago-to-honor-derrick-rose-with-jersey-retirement">Bulls announced they will be retiring Rose’s No. 1</a>. Here is a look at Derrick Rose’s net worth in 2025.</p><h2><b>What is Derrick Rose’s net worth in 2025?: $90 million (estimate)</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/derrick-roses-net-worth-in-2024_2.webp"></figure><p>Despite injuries and some issues off the court, Derrick Rose’s net worth in 2025 <a href="https://www.celebritynetworth.com/richest-athletes/nba/derrick-rose-net-worth/" rel="noopener">is $90 million</a>. This is according to numerous outlets, such as Celebrity Net Worth.</p><p>Rose’s career changed forever when he tore his ACL at the start of the 2012 playoffs. The NBA landscape could have changed course with a healthy Rose wreaking havoc across the league through the 2010s.</p><p>But now the former No. 1 overall pick has reinvented himself and is still a very productive player.</p><p>Nonetheless, Rose remains one of the greatest “what-ifs” in the history of the NBA, so would his net worth had he not suffered four knee injuries since winning his MVP Award. Rose has already amassed $166.1 million in NBA money, per <a href="https://www.spotrac.com/nba/detroit-pistons/derrick-rose-6095/cash-earnings/">Spotrac</a>. Luckily, he secured his money before injuring his ACL in 2012.</p><h2><b>Derrick Rose’s professional career</b></h2><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">On this date in 2011…Derrick Rose was named the league MVP at the age of 22 years old. He is the youngest player in history to receive the award after collecting 113 out of 120 possible first-place votes. <a href="https://t.co/MOx5Fz8jVx">pic.twitter.com/MOx5Fz8jVx</a></p><p>— ESPN Stats &amp; Info (@ESPNStatsInfo) <a href="https://twitter.com/ESPNStatsInfo/status/1256946616759734279?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 3, 2020</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>In December 2011, the Bulls inked Rose to a massive five-year, $94.8 million extension. The deal kicked in during the 2012-13 season.</p><p>Unfortunately for Chicago, the superstar guard missed the entire 2012-13 season recovering from his ACL tear and only played in 10 games in 2013-14 after tearing his meniscus.</p><p>While the Bulls continued to pay him his hefty deal, Rose spent the next few seasons dealing with various knee injuries. Before the 2016-17 season, the Bulls traded Rose to the New York Knicks.</p><p>Rose became a free agent in the summer of 2017. Unfortunately, he didn’t garner much attention on the market.</p><p>Desperate to find a home, Rose signed a minimum deal with the Cleveland Cavaliers to play with LeBron James. His stint in Cleveland was disastrous, finding himself without a job midway through the 2017-18 season. The Utah Jazz waived Rose after the Cavaliers sent him to Salt Lake City in a three-team deal.</p><h2><b>Derrick Rose’s career rejuvenation</b></h2><p>Fortunately, Rose found a second chance with the Minnesota Timberwolves after he was endorsed by former coach Tom Thibodeau. He brought Rose in late into the 2017-18 season.</p><p>Rose’s performance in the 2018 playoffs rejuvenated his NBA career. This came not long after <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/derrick-roses-wife-alaina-anderson" rel="noopener">Rose married Alaina Anderson</a>.</p><p>Minnesota brought Rose back for the 2018-19 season with a $2.4 million contract. The former MVP put up a productive campaign, averaging <a href="https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/r/rosede01.html">18.0 points</a> through 51 games, highlighted by an emotional 50-point night on Halloween against the Utah Jazz.</p><p>Following his successful season in Minnesota, Rose signed a two-year, $15 million deal with the Pistons in the summer of 2019. Rose turned a successful run with the Pistons into a three-year, $43.6 million deal with the New York Knicks.</p><p>He performed admirably for the Knicks and was supposed to be Ja Morant’s mentor in Memphis after <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/grizzlies-news-derrick-rose-set-to-join-memphis-ja-morant-on-multi-year-deal" rel="noopener">signing a two-year, $6.5 million contract</a>. However, after Morant returned from a suspension, he suffered a season-ending injury.</p><p>The contract for Rose marked his return to the city where he starred for one season at the University of Memphis before the Bulls selected him first overall in the 2008 NBA Draft. Unfortunately, Rose played only 24 games in his final NBA season due to injuries.</p><p>While Rose has made a substantial amount of money throughout his career, he probably would have earned a second hefty payday without the ACL tear in 2012. In another world, Derrick Rose’s net worth in 2024 could have been much higher without the injury.</p><h2><b>Derrick Rose’s endorsement deals</b></h2><p>Nonetheless, Rose secured his bag before his career-changing injury. He signed on with Adidas to start his career, earning $1 annually. Then, in February of 2012, just a couple of months before tearing his ACL, the 2010-11 MVP signed a massive 13-year, $185 million deal with Adidas.</p><p>The German apparel company continues to pay Rose millions despite his career not turning out how he had hoped when they brought him on. Rose certainly took advantage of his situation, as the deal also includes several perks, such as a private jet, paying his brother Reggie $250,000 <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/sports/nba/players/derrick-rose/a8110999/bio" rel="noopener">as a consultant and donating</a> $150,000 to an AAU team of Rose’s choice.</p><p>Aside from adidas, Derrick Rose also became an endorser of Wilson Sporting Goods, Skullcandy, and Powerade and was one of the cover athletes of NBA 2K13. Nonetheless, were you at all stunned by Derrick Rose’s net worth in 2025?</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Speaking on the Out the Mud Podcast, hosted by former NBA players Zach Randolph and Tony Allen, Rose shared vivid and emotional details of the injury and its aftermath, offering fans a rare glimpse into his struggles.</p><p>Rose described the moment of impact during the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/derrick-rose-a-tragic-injury-history-toppled-a-promising-career">Bulls’ first-round matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers</a>, recalling the instant recognition that something was severely wrong.</p><p>“Of course the pop. I knew that I tore my sh*t right away,” Rose said. “Nerves started shaking your leg and you can’t control the nerves – like oh sh*t, like something really happened. Tried to walk, couldn’t walk.”</p><h2><b>Derrick Rose’s devastating ACL injuries derails Bulls’ championship hopes &amp; sparks emotional recovery journey</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Derrick-Rose-1-drives-to-the-basket-against-the-Detroit-Pistons.jpg"><figcaption>© Tim Fuller-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The injury, which occurred late in Game 1 with the Bulls holding a comfortable lead, sent shockwaves through the basketball world. Derrick Rose, the youngest MVP in NBA history at just 22 years old, had led Chicago to a league-best 62-20 record during the 2010-11 season and was widely seen as the key to their championship aspirations.</p><p>The emotional toll of the injury quickly set in for Rose. He recounted the solitary moment when he was alone during the MRI process, and the devastating news that followed.</p><p>“I started to cry because that was the first time I was by myself,” Rose said. “It hit me – Damn, what happened if this motherf**ker is tore… it’s over. Get out of the machine, they tell me that it’s tore – I f**king break down crying.

Rose detailed the painstaking rehabilitation journey, from learning how to walk again to enduring the persistent pain that followed him throughout his career.</p><p>“You gotta get through the scar tissue first. F**k the scar tissue – what about when you gotta get on the bike prior to you start walking and you try to get fully around,” he said. “You feel like you’re by yourself – like the entire time, feeling like you’re the only one.”</p><h2><b>Rose’s resilience through pain cements his enduring NBA legacy </b></h2><p>Derrick Rose explained the psychological challenges that came with realizing he would never fully return to his pre-injury form. Despite the setbacks, he continued to push through the pain for the remainder of his 15-year career.</p><p>“I’m never going to be the same. Like, I’m never going to be the same. I swear… can I play through this pain because every day it’s not going to be like pain-free when you’re dealing with an injury. After my ACL injury all the way into my 15th year, I played through some type of pain – for all those years to get to where I was at.”</p><p>Rose’s story is a stark reminder of the challenges athletes face behind the scenes. For a player who once carried the hopes of an entire city as the face of the Chicago Bulls, his resilience and determination to overcome adversity remain a testament to his legacy.</p><p>The injury not only altered the trajectory of Rose’s career but also left an indelible mark on the basketball world. Despite the heartbreak, Rose’s achievements — including three All-Star selections, the 2009 Rookie of the Year award, and his historic MVP season — continue to cement his place as one of the most influential players of his generation.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
