Derrick Rose is a once-in-a-generation athlete.
No one mirrors his combination of talent, attitude, team dedication and hometown loyalty, especially at such a young age.
Derrick has already experienced more success than most players and he's done it in a way that continues to resonate with more and more fans around the world.
After a storied high school career in Chicago, and a stellar college season at the University of Memphis, Derrick was selected as the No. 1 pick of the 2008 NBA Draft by the Chicago Bulls.
Success came immediately on-court, as he won Rookie of the Year honors, led the Bulls to the NBA Playoffs and quickly became one of the most exciting point guards in the league.
In his third season, he notched career highs in points (25), assists (7.7) and rebounds (3.1) and became the youngest-ever NBA Most Valuable Player. A three-time NBA All-Star known for his quick, strong and aerobatic drives to the basket, Derrick is among the elite players in the league.
