The main reason is that he not only is an elite catch and shoot player from anywhere on the floor , he can get his shot off on the dribble with his quick handles and release. The numbers he’s posted is off the charts not only just at the three point line but from beyond the line (i’m talking 28+ ft) he has a better percentage than players shooting 22ft.

The clock was down to three seconds and the Bulls had the ball on the left sideline. The scoreboard read 96-96 as Derrick Rose caught the ball at the top of the key. Derrick released the ball with a flick of his wrist and sent it towards the hoop. The ball rotated backboard was illuminated by a bright cherry colored light as the time expired on the clock. The basketball rotated through the air in a paced that seemed to be slow motion. The ball hit the glass and fell into the net softly. Derrick’s teammates rushed the court to celebrate with an excited look on their face, but Derrick had a look on his face that didn’t show…
