Tim Hardaway described his GOAT of Chicago on the Come Talk 2 Me Podcast and <a href="https://youtu.be/P1qiuu4eK3Q?t=875" rel="noopener">why his choice</a> is former Detroit Pistons guard Isiah Thomas.<br><br>“They say Derrick Rose now, they say Dwyane (Wade), even though Dwyane isn’t from Chicago, he’s from the outskirts of Chicago but I think you have to pick Isiah Thomas because of how everybody was following him,” Hardaway said. “There wasn’t any AAU but he was being followed like he was God in Chicago. <br><br>“Even though Mark Aguirre was doing all this stuff, Isiah Thomas was the man. He was the GOAT, he was the guy that everybody looked up to and wanted to see play. He was a monster out there on the court man.”<br><br>Thomas is one of the most underappreciated players in NBA history. A two-time champion, 1989-90 Finals MVP, five-time All-NBA, and a Hall-of-Famer <a href="https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/t/thomais01.html" rel="noopener">round up an amazing career</a>. He led one of the most notorious teams in the NBA, the Bad Boy Pistons. Although they were known for good or for bad reasons, they dominated. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/12-most-hated-nba-players-all-time-ranked">Thomas is one most hated players in the league</a>, despite their success. However, the hate didn’t distract Hardaway from seeing how masterful Thomas was at his craft. </p><h2><b>Tim Hardaway reveals the moment he knew Isiah Thomas was the GOAT of Chicago.</b></h2><p>In the podcast, Hardaway recalled his grammar school coach took him out of school to the amphitheater in Chicago. He took him to St. Joe’s High School in Westchester, Illinois, where Thomas was playing. Hardaway was told to watch No. 11, who was Thomas. He was told that’s how basketball is played. <br><br>“That’s when I started following Isiah from that point on I’d been following him his whole career,” Hardaway said. “I watched him play at Indiana almost every game, couldn’t watch always while he was in Detroit but followed him with the Pistons. That was my idol, my basketball idol.”<br><br>Hardaway came into the league as the Pistons won back-to-back titles. As Thomas left the league and Hardaway entered, he made his mark in the NBA. He debuted the “killer crossover” which garnered traction to his skill as a ball-handler. Hardaway was a five-time all-star and All-NBA selection. His scoring and unselfish play catapulted him into the elite point guard conversation.</p><p>While he never won a championship, Hardaway found inspiration from the Pistons legend throughout his career. Thomas set the blueprint for Chicago guards to make an impact in the NBA.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

As people debate about <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/why-derrick-rose-absolutely-hall-of-famer">Rose being a Hall of Fame inductee</a>, former player Kevin Garnett takes it a step further and believes he should get a statue outside of the United Center in Chicago.</p><p>This statement from Garnett on Rose comes after the unveiling of <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/heat-news-dwyane-wade-reveals-true-feelings-on-beautiful-statue">Dwyane Wade’s statue outside of the Kaseya Center</a> which celebrated the career of the guard and what he has done with the Miami Heat. Garnett feels Rose <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8Gir2apCqE&amp;t=372s" rel="noopener">should get the same treatment</a> from the Bulls organization as said on his show “KG Certified.”</p><p>“Let’s just say this kid grows up in a city that an NBA city is in,” Garnett said. “He grows up in that NBA city. So he grows up and that’s his team. He grows up the best player on those teams, he goes to high school, he becomes that dude in high school. Goes off to college, guess where he goes to, the city he grew up in, he gets drafted by them. That’s like a dream right. Then he becomes MVP of the league while he’s with that team. I hope everybody understands what I’m trying to say. A D-Rose statue in Chicago, it doesn’t have to be on Mike’s side, Mike needs to have his own s—t. To grow up in Chicago and to dominate Chicago basketball with the Bulls DNA.”</p><h2><b>Kevin Garnett doubles down on Bulls giving Derrick Rose a statue</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Derrick-Rose-and-Kevin-Garnett-on-Nov.-30-2014.jpg"><figcaption>Brad Penner-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>There is no doubt that <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jimmy-butler-breaks-silence-on-derrick-roses-legacy">Rose’s legacy is cemented in Chicago</a> since that is where he is from, dominated in high school, and ultimately made his mark with the Bulls. Plus, he is the youngest player in NBA history to win MVP and only joins Michael Jordan as the two Bulls to win the award.</p><p>“That is magical and we’ve never seen that,” Garnett said. “Then you win MVP, you’re the people’s champ bro that is the ultimate fantasy for every kid who is playing in the crate, who is playing in the alley, who is out there on the black top.”</p><p>As <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/best-derrick-rose-bulls-moments">Rose has a lot of Bulls moments</a>, he would join Jordan also with having a basketball statue in Chicago though some people might not agree with Garnett since he hasn’t won a championship. Still, Garnett no doubts loves Rose which was evident <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/nba-legends-basketball-news-you-the-st-kevin-garnett-sends-emotional-tribute-to-retiring-derrick-rose-despite-fierce-rivalry/" rel="noopener">in the story he made on Instagram</a> when the player retired according to Essentially Sports.</p><p>He would also speak on the series between the Bulls and the Boston Celtics including Garnett and Paul Pierce that were fierce and intense.</p><p>“Wanna shout out D-Rose man, great career brother,” Garnett wrote. “It was honor to share the floor with you bro, you one of the greatest to do it man. Just want to say big up on a 16-year career man, You the sh*t.” Kevin Garnett also captioned his IG story, “@Drose Salute General 🫡💯.”</p><p>“Classic Sh*t bro…He [Rose] was a problem from day one man,” Garnett said. “He was built for it…[The series] was a dogfight. D-Rose actually thought, ‘Man, I could beat these guys by myself.'”</p><p>At any rate, the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bulls-vs-nets-prediction-odds-pick-11-1-2024">Bulls next face the Brooklyn Nets</a> as they start the season 3-2.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

On FanDuel’s “Run It Back,” Rose’s recent remarks linking Jordan’s success to the Chicago Bulls, rather than his individual greatness, were discussed. The panel, including Lou Williams, Chandler Parsons, and Michelle Beadle, had <a href="https://x.com/ClutchPoints/status/1846559870260310061" rel="noopener">strong reactions</a> to Rose’s take.</p><p>Lou Williams was quick to disagree, arguing that Jordan’s greatness transcended the team that drafted him.</p><p>“I feel that MJ was gonna be MJ whether he was a Portland Trailblazer or a Cleveland Cavalier,” Williams said, dismissing the idea that Jordan’s success was dependent on being with the Bulls.</p><p>Chandler Parsons shared a similar sentiment.</p><p>“Chicago is just a traditional franchise, but I’m with Lou,” Parsons said. He emphasized that Jordan’s greatness wasn’t tied to the team, but to his talent.</p><p>“MJ is MJ and LeBron is LeBron,” Parsons added. “Michael Jordan is going to be one of the greatest no matter who drafted him.”</p><h2><b>Michael Jordan transformed Bulls’ dynasty, while LeBron James found success everywhere</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Derrick-Roses-controversial-Michael-Jordan-take-draws-pushback-2.jpg"></figure><p>Before Jordan joined the Bulls in 1984, Chicago had struggled to find consistent success. In the four seasons prior to his arrival, the Bulls had an average win percentage of just 41.6%, never finishing higher than 5th in the Central Division. Jordan’s presence immediately changed the team’s fortunes, and by the early 1990s, he led the Bulls to six NBA championships, cementing his legacy as one of the greatest ever.</p><p>Williams compared <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba-news-michael-jordan-lebron-james-goat-debate-receives-questionable-muggsy-bogues-take">Jordan’s trajectory to LeBron James</a>, another frequently debated NBA great.</p><p>“LeBron should be a case study. LeBron James was LeBron in Cleveland, in Miami, he’s LeBron James in a LA Lakers uniform,” Williams said. “Those types of guys are going to be who they are.”</p><p>LeBron James, much like Jordan, found success wherever he played. After being drafted by the Cleveland Cavaliers, James led them to their first-ever NBA Finals in 2007. He later won two championships with the Miami Heat in 2012 and 2013, returned to Cleveland to secure another title in 2016, and added a fourth ring with the Los Angeles Lakers in 2020.</p><p>Michelle Beadle, also part of the conversation, questioned Rose’s perspective more directly.</p><p>“If MJ got drafted by the Spurs, let’s just say, he wouldn’t have been Michael Jordan?” she asked.</p><p>Parsons quickly responded, “I think he would’ve been. You could argue that he could’ve been greater, which is crazy to say, but he’s Michael Jordan. I think wherever he was, he was going to be great.”</p><p>Jordan’s success undeniably elevated the Bulls from mediocrity, but as Williams and Parsons argued, his talent would have made him a legend no matter which team he played for.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

As many <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba-news-dwyane-wade-sends-message-derrick-rose-amid-retirement">people in the basketball world would commemorate Rose’s career,</a> he would speak on the “Club 520 Podcast” about the retirement and how he used Carmelo Anthony and his son, Kiyan, to further explain his decision to his own son PJ.</p><p>Rose would <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQRwX7iTr5M&amp;t=412s" rel="noopener">struggle with a perfect time to tell</a> about the decision to retire when it became clear as his son brings up Kiyan Anthony who is ESPN’s <a href="https://www.espn.com/college-sports/basketball/recruiting/player/_/id/252660/kiyan-anthony" rel="noopener">No. 1 recruit from New York.</a> The son of Anthony reportedly has offers to attend and play basketball for Syracuse, Rutgers, Auburn, FSU, Ohio State and USC.</p><p>“Before I even talked to everybody, we were in the room it was me and him just talking,” Rose said. “Before that I was thinking when am I going to have this conversation with him. So we’re talking and he brings up Kiyan’s name, and we were just in the room talking about Melo. So I’m like alright it’s time.”</p><h2><b>Derrick Rose on the feelings of his son when told about his retirement </b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Derrick-Rose-on-Feb.-10-2024.jpg"><figcaption>Jim Dedmon-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Rose’s son at the moment is 11 years old and actually <a href="https://www.commercialappeal.com/story/sports/nba/grizzlies/2024/04/22/derrick-rose-ja-morant-son-pj-aau-twelve-time-nike-basketball-memphis-grizzlies/73307032007/" rel="noopener">plays for Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant’s AAU team</a> and is trying to follow in the steps of his father. The point that Rose made later in the podcast is that he would work with his son in retirement the same way that Anthony did for his son.</p><p>“I’m like bro how do you think he got better, he was like he’s working out with a trainer,” Rose said. “I was like who else do you think is in the gym? He was like his dad. I’m like his dad huh? His dad’s present, do you think Melo doesn’t have nothing to do with that? He was like yeah, but at first he was of course devastated and hurt but after I kept talking to him he was excited because he sees like now I get this individual time with my dad and my son he knows exactly where he’s at right now. So for me to tell him that and him to be sad at first but then be excited. Since that day it’s been nothing but love.”</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/why-derrick-rose-absolutely-hall-of-famer">As Rose would</a> go on to explain, his son was originally upset since he would retire from a long NBA career, but in return, would get more time to be with his father in and outside of basketball. There is no doubt that the time spent between the two will be great for their own relationship and the aspirations PJ Rose has as a basketball player when he grows up.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Mayo. Rose was a guest on The Volume’s <i>Club 520 </i>podcast and spoke about how O.J. Mayo inspired him to be great.</p><figure class="op-interactive"></figure><p>“When I saw him for the first time he changed my whole perspective of the game. He made me feel like I wasn’t working hard enough. And my whole chase for the s—t, was like chasing him. So you put that battery in my back for sure.”</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bulls-news-derrick-rose-eye-opening-michael-jordan-only-chicago-take">Mayo was a dominant high school player</a>, playing for Rose Hill Christian High School in Ashland, Kentucky as a grade school player, averaging 23.1 points while he was in 7th grade and 27 points when he was in 8th grade. Mayo’s legend began to grow when he moved to Ohio and transferred to North College Hill High School in North College Hill, Ohio. There, he was named Mr.Ohio Basketball for two consecutive seasons in 2005 and 2006.</p><p>Mayo was also a huge star on the AAU circuit, as Rose says on the podcast it motivated him to be great so he can match the greatness that Mayo was displaying.</p><p>“We chased him bro, we used to go to tournaments looking for him. Like really chased OJ, that could be a whole chapter in my s—t, chasing him, going to tournaments, staying at the game. We wanted that match up especially since we played him in 7th or 8th and he was on a whole another level and I never forgot that. That was my baseline right there. I went back to Chi and I stayed in the gym.”</p><p>THe hard work and unmatched talent paid off for both Rose and Mayo, as they had successful college careers at Memphis and USC respectively. The duo were linked to each other because of their high level of play as it was often debated if either one of them were the best player in their class. Ultimately, Rose was selected first overall by the Chicago Bulls in the 2008 NBA Draft and Mayo was selected 3rd overall by the Timberwolves, ultimately being traded to the Grizzlies.</p><p>Both guards were heavy contenders for the 2008-2009 NBA Rookie of the Year crown. While Mayo had a phenomenal rookie season, averaging 18.5 points per game and playing all 82 games that season, Rose ultimately took home the crown with his exceptional play that helped the Bulls clinch a playoff birth. Rose averaged 16.8 points per game and 6.3 assists.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba-news-derrick-rose-officially-retires-after-16-seasons">Rose officially retired from basketball</a> in late September following his departure from the Memphis Grizzlies. He shared an inspirational message along with the news of his retirement.</p><p>“The next chapter is about chasing my dreams and sharing my growth. I believe true success comes from becoming who you were created to be, and I want to show the world who I am beyond basketball. Whether good or bad, everyone has a ‘What if’ story in their life. Even if I could, I wouldn’t change anything in mine, because it’s what helped me find real joy.”</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

MJ wouldn’t be MJ if he played anywhere else but Chicago for his pro career,” Rose said. “He would’ve been a great player anywhere else, but in Chicago, he became the black cat; he became MJ in Chicago.</p><p>“Just off the strength of the culture that’s in Chicago, and there’s culture everywhere. The basketball culture is just strong. The expectations of, like, alright, what are you going to do?”</p><p>Rose believes that the extra pressure on Chicago’s’ basketball city and its fans pushed Jordan toward NBA greatness.</p><p>“I guarantee you he had people in his corner like you just went on vacation. They ain’t going to let you win three more,” Rose added. “I bet you can’t. That’s what n***** in Chi-Town were telling him. You already won one. I bet you can’t win another.”</p><h2><b>Michael Jordan’s’ legacy with the Bulls</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Bulls-guard-Michael-Jordan-next-to-Bulls-head-coach-Phil-Jackson.jpg"><figcaption>Robert Hanashiro-USA TODAY</figcaption></figure><p>Michael Jordan won six NBA championships throughout his career with the Chicago Bulls, completing two three-peats as part of the Bulls dynastic run in the 1990s. But for six seasons, after the Bulls drafted him with the third overall pick in the 1984 NBA Draft, Jordan couldn’t’ get past first Larry Bird and the Boston Celtics, then Isiah Thomas and the Detroit Pistons.</p><p>Thomas, the Hall of Fame point guard born and raised in Chicago, was a driving force for Jordan. The Bulls and the Pistons had one of the biggest rivalries in the Eastern Conference. For Rose, this motivated Jordan to surpass his rivals and led to MJ’s never-ending focus on becoming one of the greatest players the league has ever seen.</p><p>Derrick Rose and Michael Jordan are the only Bulls players to have won the league’s Most Valuable Player award.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Gordon spoke about how he and Rose were supposed to team up.</p><p>“Me and D-Rose, we were supposed to go to the same college,” Gordon said. “It was either Illinois, maybe IU, maybe Memphis and we heard a lot of things in Illinois, what was going on there. But my heart was always in Indiana. I always wanted to play at IU. It all worked out in the end. I went to IU, he went to Memphis but I thought we were both going to go to IU at one point.”</p><p>Gordon was more than impressive for Indiana basketball during his time there. He averaged <a href="https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/players/eric-gordon-1.html" rel="noopener">20.9 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.4 assists</a> and shot 33.7% from three. Gordon also garnered the Big-10 Rookie of the Year and was a member of the 2007-08 All-Big-10 Team. He eventually went seventh overall to the Los Angeles Clippers. As <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/76ers-news-eric-gordon-joining-philly-paul-george-signing-looms">Gordon continues his career</a> with the Philadelphia 76ers, his words still reminisce with basketball fans.</p><h2><b>What would Indiana basketball have been with Derrick Rose, Eric Gordon, and Jeff Teague?</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Eric-Gordon-and-Jeff-Teague-almost-teamed-up-with-Derrick-Rose-at-Indiana-University.jpg"><figcaption>© Brad Rempel-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>On the flip side, Rose dominated during his time with the Tigers. He averaged <a href="https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/players/derrick-rose-1.html" rel="noopener">14.9 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 4.7 assists</a>. Although his numbers aren’t impressive like Gordon’s, he took Memphis to the National Championship game. Rose unfortunately lost to the Kansas Jayhawks but a freshman taking a team to the final game is beyond conference.</p><p>Teague immediately followed Gordon’s response and shared what Indiana basketball head coach Kelvin Sampson had in mind.</p><p>“They tried to put us in a three-guard lineup,” Teague said. “I remember Coach (Kelvin) Sampson called me and he was like I’m getting you, I’m getting Derrick Rose, I’m getting Eric Gordon. I said why the f**k you think I’m going there. You can hang up this call. Yeah alright, Wake Forest here I come. I was like no way. He called me and I was like Eric’s going to Illinois, he was like not on my f**ing watch, he literally said that.”</p><p>This is a phenomenal example of what could have been. As teams go smaller, a three-guard look wouldn’t cause any concern. Also, Teague, Rose, and Gordon’s skill sets complement each other nicely. Even with Indiana losing in the Round of 64, adding Rose and Teague could have pushed the Hoosiers to possibly the National Championship game. Regardless, that trio could have been not only exciting but historic in the new age of college basketball.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Rose is closely affiliated with the city, after playing for the Chicago Bulls for several seasons.</p><p>The Soldier Field crowd erupted in applause when the video board showed Rose at the game wearing a Bears jersey. Chicago is home to Rose, as the former guard played high school basketball at Simeon Career Academy in the city. Rose was born in the Windy City in 1988.</p><p>Rose just <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba-news-derrick-rose-officially-retires-after-16-seasons">announced his retirement</a> recently from the game of basketball. He played for the Bulls from 2008-2016, helping the team reach the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time since Michael Jordan played there. The guard also played for several other franchises including the New York Knicks, Cleveland Cavaliers and Memphis Grizzlies. The Bulls are expected to honor Rose at a retirement ceremony this coming season.</p><p>The Bears are playing the Carolina Panthers Sunday and leading the game at time of writing.</p><h2>The Bears are looking for success once again</h2><p>Chicago is led this season by rookie quarterback Caleb Williams, who <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bears-news-josh-allen-advice-for-caleb-williams-nfl-career">was chosen no. 1 overall</a> in the 2024 NFL Draft. Ironically, Rose was also chosen first in the 2008 NBA Draft.</p><p>Williams is <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bears-news-caleb-williams-gets-painfully-honest-throwing-52-times-vs-colts">having some struggles</a> in his rookie season, which often happens to young quarterbacks. Chicago’s rookie play caller has 787 passing yards this season, to go with three touchdowns and four interceptions. Williams has two touchdown throws on Sunday against Carolina, posting a solid overall performance so far.</p><p>The Bears haven’t been to the Super Bowl since the 2006 season, when the team lost to the Indianapolis Colts. Chicago’s lone Super Bowl season came in 1985 with the famed coach Mike Ditka. The franchise was a power before the famed 1970 NFL-AFL merger, with eight titles coming from the 1920s through the 1960s.</p><p>Bears fans are certainly happy for Rose, but would be happier with some wins for their rookie quarterback. Chicago is 2-2 on the season.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Rose is remembered fondly for his incredible highs with the Bulls.

While there is no word about an official jersey retirement quite yet, Rose will be <a href="https://x.com/BrettSiegelNBA/status/1841175665921704268" rel="noopener">honored</a> by the Bulls and the city of Chicago on January 4, when the New York Knicks are scheduled to play in the United Center, according to The Athletic’s Shams Charania.</p><p>While appearing on the Pat McAfee Show on Tuesday, Charania <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6t_T6SorZQ" rel="noopener">revealed</a> that the Bulls will honor Rose on this date and that the weekend will be dedicated to Rose, who played for both franchises over the course of his 15-year NBA career.</p><p>It is also worth mentioning that Rose and Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau spent five seasons together in Chicago, as well as three seasons together in New York. Thibodeau will likely take a moment prior to the game, along with several other notable people who will likely be in attendance on Jan. 4, to reflect on Rose’s career.</p><p>In a total of 406 games over the course of seven seasons with the Bulls, Rose averaged 19.7 points and 6.2 assists per game while shooting 44.8 percent from the floor. Although he was not like most modern-day guards that oftentimes spend their time shooting perimeter shots, Rose stole the spotlight with his craftiness and athletic abilities to attack the rim and paint off the dribble.</p><p>During the 2010-11 season, Rose led the Bulls to a 62-20 record with Thibodeau as the head coach. Rose played in all but one game during this season, averaging 25.0 points, 7.7 assists, and 4.1 rebounds per game. The Bulls star finished the year ranking fourth in total points throughout the NBA and led Chicago to the best record in the entire league. As a result, Rose won the 2010-11 NBA MVP award, receiving 113 of the 121 total first-place votes.</p><p>Over the course of his 15 years in the NBA, Rose was always a vocal leader for his teams, and he evolved into a key sixth man due to ongoing knee injury battles.</p><p>The Bulls and Knicks were the two organizations that Rose spent the most time with over his career, and his long-time head coach currently coaches New York. It made perfect sense for the Bulls to pick the weekend of Jan. 4 to honor Rose and give him the sendoff that he deserves.</p><p>Other than Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/best-derrick-rose-bulls-moments">Rose has been one of the most beloved players</a> in the history of the Chicago Bulls. He ranks ninth all-time in Bulls history in made shots and fifth in assists. Rose also ranks third in assists per game in Bulls history.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

From becoming the youngest player in NBA history to win the MVP award and dueling with LeBron James and the vaunted Heatles squads of the early 2010s to suffering multiple serious knee injuries that sapped Rose of his trademark explosiveness, he has had a career to remember.</p><p>Through all the ups and downs, Rose has earned his rightful place in the NBA Hall of Fame.</p><h2><b>Derrick Rose had the greatest peak of any player in basketball history</b></h2><p>Derrick Rose had the greatest peak of any player in basketball history. This includes Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant and even LeBron James. All of those great names, and yet D-Rose had a higher peak than any of them.</p><p>Yes, his peak might have been very brief. Indeed it was, and that is extremely unfortunate. However, for a fleeting moment in the early 2010s, Rose impacted an entire generation of basketball fans, redefined the definition of athleticism, and helped set the stage for the next decade of the NBA.</p><p>When D-Rose was coming out of college, we all thought that we knew what athleticism meant, and what an elite athlete looked like. The truth is that we didn’t. Rose represented something that had never been seen before. The gracefulness with which he played, and the violent, thunderous power that he could bring to bear on helpless opponents is something that might never be re-created. Rose had an unmatched combination of speed, agility, ballhandling, and power.</p><p>It’s just a shame that we only got to enjoy his dominance for such a short period of time.</p><h2><b>D-Rose redefined what it meant to be an NBA point guard</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Derrick-Rose-1.jpg"><figcaption>Jim Dedmon-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Prior to Rose’s career, NBA point guards were primarily known for their playmaking. Sure, you had guards such as Allen Iverson, but even those guys were known more for their ballhandling rather than their explosiveness. The thing about Rose is he wasn’t just athletic, he was explosive.</p><p>It’s as if Michael Jordan returned as a 6-foot-3 point guard and maintained all of his explosiveness and dynamic jumping ability. The comparison rings true not just because they both played for the Chicago Bulls. Rose is one of the few athletes who could honestly stake a claim to being as athletic as Air Jordan himself.</p><p>The way that fans today fondly reminisce on Jordan‘s career and remember him for his explosiveness that will stand the test of time, we might one day look back on Rose with the same fondness and realize that we will never see anyone quite like him again.</p><p>The Chicago native’s elite combination of speed, explosiveness, and high-flying ability is something that might never be matched, and the only way to relive it will be watching old footage from Rose at its peak. That right there is a legacy and an argument for Derrick Rose to be in the Hall of Fame.</p><h2><b>Rose reinvented himself multiple times throughout his career</b></h2><p>After <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/warriors-news-chris-paul-derrick-rose-overcoming-serious-injuries">his brutal string of injuries started</a>, Rose was relentless in getting back to the NBA and improving his skills. His career wouldn’t stop by injury. He made it his mission to redefine himself as a player and emerge from the ashes of the forgotten.</p><p>During his brief but exhilarating prime, Rose was never a good three-point shooter. Part of that was because of the era that he played in and what the league emphasized at that time.</p><p>By the mid to late 2010s, that all changed as Steph Curry had emerged. Rose quickly went to work, rebuilding his game to fit the modern NBA and emerged from rehab as a dynamic outside shooter. The Englewood native reworked his form and rebuilt his shot from scratch, becoming somebody who defenses had to legitimately feel threatened by when he was outside of the arc.</p><p>Thanks to his impressive driving ability, defenses would prefer that he shoot rather than drive. However, prior to the injury, defenses would essentially leave him alone on the perimeter. They couldn’t do that anymore, unless they risked getting burned.</p><p>Prior to 2018, Rose was consistently a sub-30% three-point shooter. After he rebuilt his shot, he wasn’t he was never below 30% again. While that’s not a particularly high bar, he hit the mid-30s frequently and even sprinkled in a couple of seasons where he shot above 40% from deep.</p><p>In rebuilding his shot, Rose provided an important lesson to fans, and admirers all over the world: no matter how good you might be at something, you should always strive to find ways to improve. He lived by this motto, and that’s what allowed him to thrive in the NBA despite injuries sapping away so much of the pure physical talent that made him a superstar in the first place.</p><h2><b>D-Rose transcended the game of basketball</b></h2><p>Rose did something for the game that not every great player can claim to do. He wasn’t just a player and he wasn’t even just a superstar. Rose was an ambassador for the sport. The same way that Michael Jordan inspired a generation of fans, the same way that Allen Iverson brought new fans with his crossover, the way LeBron James and his thunderous slams inspired kids to pick up the basketball, Rose and his explosiveness did the same.</p><p>50 years from now, grandparents will be telling their grandkids about how inspiring it was to watch Rose dominate defenses during his career with his explosiveness and blinding speed.</p><h2><b>The bottom line</b></h2><p>Rose might be one of the great “what-if” <a href="https://sports.yahoo.com/derrick-roses-career-is-full-of-what-ifs-but-the-fact-it-lasted-this-long-is-the-real-wonder-000906381.html" rel="noopener">stories in all of sports</a>, but he earned his place in the Hall of Fame due to the incredible heights he reached, how he transformed the meaning of words like athleticism and explosiveness, and the fond memories and highlight reels he left us with. It’s time for D-Rose to enjoy retirement and wait for the call to be immortalized in the Hall of Fame.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Rose has earned no shortage of respect throughout his time in the NBA, something showcased by Doncic’s post.</p><p>The 35-year-old enjoyed an impressive NBA career. His superstar peak was unfortunately cut short due to constant injury concerns. There was a time when Rose was among the best players in the entire league. He won the NBA MVP Award during the 2010-11 season, which also happens to the last time the Mavs won a championship.</p><p>However, Doncic did not make his NBA debut until 2018. Luka immediately won the NBA Rookie of the Year Award in 2018-19 and has emerged as a superstar over the years.</p><p>Luka Doncic clearly has respect for Derrick Rose. By the time Doncic entered the NBA, however, Rose was not the same superstar that he once was. Still, Rose was able to battle through his injuries and play in the NBA from 2008-2024.</p><h2><b>Luka Doncic vs. Derrick Rose in NBA</b></h2><p>Again, Doncic wasn’t in the NBA when Rose won his MVP. When Luka did play against Rose, the Mavs star led Dallas to eight wins in nine regular season games.</p><p>Their first game against one another was in October of 2018 while Rose was with the Minnesota Timberwolves. Dallas earned a victory in that contest by a final score of 140-136. Doncic and Rose’s final matchup against one another occurred in December of 2023, as the Mavericks defeated the Memphis Grizzlies 120-113.</p><p>Rose’s only regular season victory over Doncic came during his time with the New York Knicks in April of 2021. New York won the game 117-109.</p><p>Derrick Rose will be remembered for his time with the Bulls. Although injuries did not allow Rose to truly fulfill his potential throughout his career, his 2010-11 campaign was an elite season to say the least.</p><p>Meanwhile, Luka Doncic is currently building his own legacy in the NBA. Doncic has yet to win an MVP, but that could change soon. At 25 years old, the sky’s the limit for the Mavericks guard.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Rose’s best days were tragically cut short by a torn ACL in 2012, and he was never the same player since. Regardless, Rose is leaving the game as the youngest MVP in NBA history, winning the award in 2011 with the Chicago Bulls as a 22-year-old, and he remains a fan favorite to this day for staying the course despite being ravaged by injuries.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/best-derrick-rose-bulls-moments">Rose is a beloved presence</a> wherever he goes, with fans of the Bulls, New York Knicks, Cleveland Cavaliers, Minnesota Timberwolves, Detroit Pistons, and Memphis Grizzlies all having plenty of good things to say about the retired point guard — regardless of how long his stint was with those teams. Thus, it’s no surprise that some of the former teammates he went to war with the longest, such as Joakim Noah, was emotionally moved by the veteran point guard’s retirement announcement.</p><p>Posting on his official Instagram account, Noah <a href="https://x.com/ClutchPoints/status/1839488334600483033" rel="noopener">expressed just how much</a> Derrick Rose means to him, especially during their playing days together with the Bulls, and how he embodies hope.</p><p>“Hope is a powerful emotion. You always represented hope- in human form,” Noah wrote. “It was an honor, a privilege, and a real pleasure sharing the court with you. The memories will never be forgotten. Stories for days!!!”</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">"Basketball or no basketball – WE ARE BROTHERS FOR LIFE!"</p><p>Former Bulls/Knicks teammate Joakim Noah reacts to Derrick Rose's retirement from basketball 🤝</p><p>(via <a href="https://twitter.com/JoakimNoah?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@JoakimNoah</a>/ IG) <a href="https://t.co/qt7HXTDn18">pic.twitter.com/qt7HXTDn18</a></p><p>— ClutchPoints (@ClutchPoints) <a href="https://twitter.com/ClutchPoints/status/1839488334600483033?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 27, 2024</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>Joakim Noah continued by <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DAZvIxeupSx/?hl=en&amp;img_index=1" rel="noopener">conveying how thankful he is</a> to spend the best days of his career alongside Derrick Rose and how, despite falling short of their ultimate goal, the brotherhood they have built is one that will last for a lifetime.</p><p>“Our relationship grew even more when we faced adversity.

Thank you for the memories,” Noah added. “Basketball or no basketball – WE ARE BROTHERS FOR LIFE!”</p><p>It’s certainly an emotional day for Joakim Noah and the Bulls fanbase to witness Derrick Rose’s professional basketball journey officially come to an end. Rose is a warrior who fought to extend his career for as long as he could, but all good things come to an end.</p><h2>Derrick Rose and Joakim Noah transform the Bulls franchise</h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Derrick-Rose.jpg"></figure><p>The start of the 21st century was not very kind to the Bulls franchise. Looking to rebuild following the end of their dominant 1990s, the Bulls struggled to become anything more than first-round fodder to begin the century. But then the lottery gods smiled upon them in 2007 and 2008, granting them the opportunity to draft Joakim Noah and Derrick Rose — with the latter being taken with the first overall pick even though Chicago only had a 1.8 percent chance to win the lottery.</p><p>Rose was an immediate sensation, and it became clear with the way he attacked the rim and made plays that the Bulls were going to rise to the top sooner than later. Noah then became the defensive anchor for the team, with Luol Deng emerging as one of the best two-way players in the league on the wing. During the 2010-11 season, the Bulls finished with the best record in the NBA, looking like a legitimate title contender in the process.</p><p>The Miami Heat then stopped them in their tracks, but the Bulls, evidently, was there to stay. They had the best record in the NBA again in the following season, but then Rose’s ACL tear dashed their championship hopes… for good.

The former Chicago Bulls star announced the end of his professional playing career. Several stars, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba-news-dwyane-wade-sends-message-derrick-rose-amid-retirement">including Dwyane Wade, provided heartfelt messages</a> to the point guard after news of his decision broke. Former Bulls coach and 2024 New York Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau also gave Rose another touching message.</p><h2><b>The Knicks coach gives Rose the utmost respect.</b></h2><p>Thibodeau’s <a href="https://x.com/IanBegley/status/1839414156778234281" rel="noopener">elaborate statement was released</a> on X (formerly) Twitter via Ian Begley of SNY:</p><p>“Congratulations to Derrick on a Hall of Fame career. Not only was he a great player, which I saw in the eyes of his opponents, he’s an even better person, teammate, husband, and father,” Thibodeau wrote.</p><p>“The true measure of a man is how well he handles adversity – nobody did it better. Through it all – from the pressure of playing in his home city to being the youngest MVP in NBA history through injuries in three consecutive seasons – he stood tall, never relented, and always came back.</p><p>“It was inspiring to watch him grow and push forward no matter what. He is and always will be a very special person. I will cherish our many fond memories together and look forward to watching his next chapter. I know it will be great, and I wish him the very best in his retirement,” Tom Thibodeau wrote.</p><p>Derrick Rose achieved several impressive feats during his NBA career, many of which came during his time with the Bulls. He was the 2008-09 Rookie of the Year, won the league MVP award in 2010-11, made the All-NBA First Team (2010-11), and was a three-time All-Star (2009-10, 2010-11, 2011-12).</p><p>As Thibodeau mentioned, Rose battled numerous injuries. Yet, he regained his health and became a stout contributor for five teams outside of the Bulls, including the Knicks, Cleveland Cavaliers, Minnesota Timberwolves, Detroit Pistons, and the Memphis Grizzlies.</p><p>In his retirement statement, Derrick Rose said his next chapter is chasing his dreams and sharing his growth. It will be exciting to see what is in store for him in future endeavors.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
