The former league MVP has come a long way. Just two years ago, many thought Derrick Rose’s career was over.
A shining career stalled by a series of injuries, there were clips of Rose in high school gyms practicing, trying to get it all back. Instead of being inspired, NBA fans laughed and joked.
Fast forward two years, and Rose is playing like an All-Star again. And Rose hasn’t been this good since his MVP season in 2011.
He was 22 then. He’s now 31 years old.
Quite literally, Rose is doing things he has not done in nearly a decade.
