He did hit a game-winning bank-shot triple against the Cleveland Cavaliers in the 2015 NBA playoffs and celebrated with a nonchalant look on his face. And in the press conference following that game, he had his son P.J., who was only 2 years of age at the time, trying to emulate his look — leading to an adorable moment.</p><p>This recognition is well-deserved for Rose, a hometown kid who’ll forever be beloved in Chicago.</p><h2><b>Derrick Rose, certified Bulls legend</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Rose-Bulls-ii.jpg"><figcaption>Kamil Krzaczynski-USA TODAY Sports</figcaption></figure><p>Rose may not be the multiple-time MVP he could have been due to his unfortunate brush with the pesky injury bug, but he’ll forever be adored among the Bulls faithful — something he can hang his hat on for the rest of his life.</p><p>It will be on January 24 when the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/chicago-bulls/bulls-news-derrick-roses-jersey-retirement-date-set">Bulls will raise Rose’s jersey</a> to the United Center rafters, forever immortalizing the contributions of the 2008 first overall pick and reminding him that his time with the franchise is forever cherished, even if he wasn’t able to maximize his potential due to injuries.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

In fact, the two floor generals appear to be branching out into new interests — with the two dipping their toes in the sport of chess while in Las Vegas amid the 2025 NBA Summer League in Sin City.</p><p>Two of the greatest chess grandmasters of all-time, Magnus Carlsen and Hikaru Nakamura, <a href="https://x.com/CourtsideBuzzX/status/1944611964166328416" rel="noopener">hosted a chess competition</a> named “Chesstival” — with Rose and Rondo being two of the highest-profile participants in the said event. The format used for the competition is “freestyle chess”, where the back rank pieces are randomly arranged. There are two rules that must be followed, however. The king must start in between the two rooks, while the two bishops must start on opposite-colored squares. Other than that, the positioning of the pieces is randomized.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Former NBA stars Derrick Rose and Rajon Rondo are competing in the “Chesstival” tournament in Las Vegas with grandmasters Magnus Carlsen and Hikaru Nakamura <a href="https://twitter.com/chesscom?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@chesscom</a> <a href="https://t.co/742E7oLtYb">pic.twitter.com/742E7oLtYb</a></p><p>— Ben Golliver (@BenGolliver) <a href="https://twitter.com/BenGolliver/status/1944519508221452717?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 13, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>There is not much surprise that Rondo, who is most famous for his stints with the Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers, was a participant in this event. Rondo admitted on an episode of Jeff Teague’s Club 520 Podcast that he <a href="https://www.youtube.com/shorts/8t66wtHIV7Y" rel="noopener">used to play chess</a> prior to ballgames later on in his career.</p><figure class="op-interactive"></figure><p>Rondo is also one of the smartest NBA players of all-time, calling out plays before they happen and manipulating defenses to create openings even his teammates sometimes aren’t aware of.</p><p>Meanwhile, Rose lowkey has been playing chess for a long time, although he’s only been more vocal about this interest of his since he decided to retire in 2024. The former MVP with the Chicago Bulls has long been planning to <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R6zljL32T9o" rel="noopener">join or even host a chess tournament</a>, and now, he has gotten his wish.</p><figure class="op-interactive"></figure><h2><b>Derrick Rose and Rajon Rondo enjoy life after basketball</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Derrick-Rose.jpg"><figcaption>© David Banks-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Father Time may sap even the most legendary athletes of their speed and leaping ability, but as the old adage goes, with age comes wisdom. This appears to be the case for both Rose and Rondo, who are looking to stretch their strategic brains to the limits by continuing to expand their horizons in this post-retirement endeavor.</p><p>Both became savvy locker-room presences towards the end of their basketball careers, but now, they will put those brains of theirs to the test on the chessboard. Retirement doesn’t have to be all glitz and glamour; it can also be peaceful and quiet, as both Rose and Rondo are showing.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

In an interview with DJ Siddiqi of Poker Scout, Rose spoke candidly about his longtime coach, <a href="https://www.pokerscout.com/derrick-rose-exclusive-interview-luck-lonzo-ball-tom-thibodeau/" rel="noopener">expressing surprise</a> at the move and offering insight into their enduring relationship.</p><p>“I think everybody was surprised,” Rose said. “There’s no bad blood and he’s in great spirits out here on the East Coast, living life.”</p><p>Thibodeau was dismissed by the Knicks shortly after the team’s <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/new-york-knicks/new-york-knicks-most-blame-ecf-loss-pacers">Eastern Conference Finals loss to the Indiana Pacers</a>. The move ended his five-season tenure in New York, during which he compiled a 226–174 regular-season record and led the franchise to its deepest playoff run since 2000.</p><h2><b>Derrick Rose reflects on unique bond with Tom Thibodeau across Bulls, Timberwolves, and Knicks</b></h2><p>Rose, 36, has a long and well-documented history with Thibodeau. The two first worked together during Rose’s prime years with the Chicago Bulls, when Thibodeau coached the team from 2010 to 2015. Their paths crossed again with the Minnesota Timberwolves and later with the Knicks, making Thibodeau the only coach to have worked with Rose across three NBA franchises.</p><p>“When you’re around people like that, you don’t have any choice but to soak up the knowledge and to get better if you really want to be great,” Rose said. “I used to be in his office a lot, asking questions, looking at him, pushing myself, trying to please him.”</p><p>Their professional relationship was marked by both competitive drive and contrasting personalities. Rose described it as a “quagmire” and “funny,” but one that ultimately shaped his development as a player.</p><p>“We just had a funny relationship, where on the court, we both wanted to win, win every game, and we knew how passionate each other was about the game of basketball,” he added. “How much we both put into it, but we both have two totally different personalities, which a lot of people looked at as weird, but I loved our relationship. I love our relationship now.”</p><p>Thibodeau coached Rose through some of the highest and most challenging moments of his career, including Rose’s 2011 MVP season with the Bulls and his later comeback years. Their connection remains one of the more unique coach-player bonds in recent NBA history.</p><p>As the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/new-york-knicks/knicks-rumors-intriguing-mike-brown-scenario-intensifying">Knicks continue their search for Thibodeau’s replacement</a>, Rose’s comments stand out as a reminder of the impact the veteran coach has had on players across multiple teams and eras.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

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. He will be up for a huge raise soon, but considering how well he’s been playing, that will be well-deserved.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

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. My mom there, she’s trying to help me.”</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Derrick Rose opens up about his ACL injury for the first time.</p><p>“I get out the machine, they tell me that it’s torn.

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>

Just when you thought society was finally done shaming <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/dwyane-wade-cristiano-ronaldo-worst-sports-statues-all-time-ranked">the worst athlete “tribute” in the history of sport</a> (or art for that matter), the still-raw wound was reopened yet again during Derrick Rose’s recent interview with Shams Charania.</p><p>In an exclusive sit-down with the ESPN insider following his offseason retirement, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bulls-news-derrick-rose-honest-potential-jersey-retirement">Derrick Rose openly discussed</a> a number of subjects surrounding his career, including his thoughts on having the Chicago Bulls retire his No. 1 jersey.</p><figure class="op-interactive"></figure><p>Rose said he was all for the gesture, insisting “I would love that.”</p><p>“That would be my way of getting close to the top 75,” Rose added. “And I’m only saying that because it relates to the MVP thing, where it’s only a handful or a small group that got that trophy back there.”</p><p>Indeed, when Derrick Rose’s jersey is retired, he’ll be only <a href="https://blackprwire.com/press-releases/bprw-bulls-to-retire-derrick-rose-s-no-1-jersey#:~:text=(Black%20PR%20Wire)%20The%20Chicago,announced%20at%20a%20later%20date." rel="noopener">the fifth Chicago Bulls player to ever receive the honor</a> — alongside the impressive company of Jerry Sloan (No. 4), Bob Love (No. 10), Michael Jordan (No. 23), and Scottie Pippen (No. 33).</p><p>But when the prospect of an honorary statue was brought up with Rose, he struck a decidedly different tone.</p><p>“The statue. The way people have been creating the statues; no,” Rose insisted.</p><p>“I do not want no statue,” he continued. “No statue. Jerry, no statue. Please, Michael. No statue.”</p><p>Assuming Rose is referring to Bulls owner Jerry Reinsdorf and team president Michael Reinsdorf, that’s a pretty clear “no thank you” to the powers-that-be right at the top of the organization.</p><p>It’s also some pretty clear shade-throwing at the recent statue debacle with Dwyane Wade in Miami.</p><p>Ever since that infamous day in Miami, on October 27, 2024, when the Heat unveiled a bronze statue outside the Kaseya Center, purporting to be of D-Wade but in no way resembling the NBA legend — the memes have been flowing, the trolls have been hating, and <a href="https://sports.yahoo.com/dwyane-wade-laurence-fishburne-artist-210455311.html" rel="noopener">the Laurence Fishburne comparisons</a> have been coming fast and furious.</p><p>Wade, for his part, handled the situation graciously, defending the artists and stating, “It don’t need to look like me. It’s the artistic version of a moment that happened.”</p><p>That slowed down the backlash to a degree, and the hoopla seemed to finally be dying down… until the subject of statues reared its ugly head again during the Derrick Rose interview.</p><p>Because the Dwyane Wade debacle is now clearly the first image that comes to mind whenever someone brings up the prospect of an athlete getting a statue. It’s part of our collective consciousness now, and society will just have to adapt.</p><p>Maybe someday, somehow, we can test the waters of the topic again, but with his definitive response, Derrick Rose made painfully clear in his Shams Charania ESPN interview that when it comes to statues, it’s still just… too soon.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
