THE Derrick Rose he made the big and difficult decision that any athlete has to make in his life, to hang up his jersey once and for all and retire from active action!
The 35-year-old American guard, who two days ago was released by the Memphis Grizzlies after his own decision, he announced through social media the end of his great career on his floors NBA.
THE youngest MVP of the top league on the planet was one of the largest “what if” of modern NBA historyas, no one can know what his… ceiling would have been had he not suffered a torn ACL in the 2012 playoffs.
The No.1 of the NBA 2008 draft pick, played 15 years in the NBA, with “D-Rose” finishing his career with 17.4 points, 5.2 assists and 3.2 rebounds averaged in just 723 regular season games.
Except for their jersey Chicago Bulls, with which he made history, the multi-experienced ace still wore those of Knicks, Cavaliers, Timberwolves, Pistons and Grizzlies.
In 2009 he was named rookie of the year, while he was selected three times (2010-12) as an All Star. In 2011, the year he won the MVP award, he recorded 25 points, 4.1 rebounds and 7.7 assists, being the youngest player to receive the said award, aged just 22 years and 7 months!
Just a kid from Chicago.
