Derrick Rose
By: David Francis
Derrick Rose is a six foot three point guard out of the University of Memphis and plays for the Chicago Bulls in the National Basketball Association. Drafted in 2008 with the first overall pick after only one year in college, Rose quickly burst onto the scene as a star player in the NBA averaging twenty one points and seven assists thus earning him rookie of the year in 2008.
After winning rookie of the year Rose had all the confidence to do more in his professional career such as being a three time all star, all NBA first team three times and being the youngest MVP in NBA history. Also, outside of the NBA he won the FIBA gold medal with team USA in 2010.
In his MVP season, the Chicago bulls were the top ranked team in the NBA and were predicted to win the championship. But, in the first round, first game against the Philadelphia 76ers Rose went down with a knee injury which afterward was diagnosed as a torn ACL muscle which sat him down for a year, after he was able to run, he immediately got back to training and revamping his skills thus taking another five months off, with this season approaching its beginning on October 31st, the much anticipated return of Derrick Rose will finally be upon us. And to add more excitement they will be facing the two time reigning champions the Miami Heat. Many are doubting that Rose will be a returning force because of past star players careers being ruined by injuries such as Tracy McGrady and Grant Hill.
I chose this topic because Derrick Rose is my favorite basketball player and Chicago Bulls my favorite team, I cannot wait for him to return and get back to the same way he was when he left thus dethroning the Heat and finally bring a title back to the Bulls since the days of Michael Jordan.
