According to Derrick Rose, the 2017-2017 Cleveland Cavaliers are the “best team that [he’s] ever played on”. Not that that should come as a surprise, as the Cavs have been to the NBA Finals each of the last three seasons and employ not only the world’s best player, but house a collection of talent unmatched by any team outside of the Bay Area. However, it does inspire confidence that Rose can have one of the best years of his career in The Land.
Rose dropped thirteen pounds this offseason, going from 210 pounds to 197 pounds after a rigorous offseason regimen that included doing two-a-days three or four times a week.
