I'm surprised no one posted this yet on this thread. About Derrick Rose is Retiring. The youngest NBA MVP. If Derrick Rose hadn't been injured, his playing style might have been like Russell Westbrook. And for sure he can carry a team for NBA Championship. It is sad that Derrick Rose has not won any championships in his career. Remember the super team in Cleveland that didn't work. Wade, D. Rose, Love, IT and James 2017-18 NBA season.
That kind of expected after he got waived by Memphis. He could have retired much earlier, but his got a huge heart in trying to be resilient after all the years the injury has made him. Now, it's safe to say that he's done. I mean it does look like he had like a short career after being named as the youngest MVP, but I guess he have already accepted his fate.
With a lot of talent in the free agency, I doubt that he can get another veteran deal with any team next season.
That news showed up on my device today too, glad someone shared it, even if it slipped in my mind. It’s good for D Rose that he made his decision to retire; we definitely won’t forget him as the youngest MVP in NBA history, and that achievement alone cements his place in the books. He was explosive back then, but we never really know what the future holds for any player; injuries can end careers, and that’s what happened to him, just slowly over time.
But on the bright side, he earned $166,120,847 throughout his basketball career, not bad at all!
