“IF I DIDN’T GET INJURED I WOULD’VE STILL BEEN IN THE CIRCUS!!!” D.ROSE UNPLUGS FROM THE MATRIX 

This man was quiet for a reason. He’s a thinker. I truly appreciate him even more!

I've never heard D Rose talk this much in his entire career and be this transparent. Kudos to Math Hoffa who's running laps around these other Hip Hop podcasts with great conversations and great guests.

Derrick Rose never gave up, never backed down, went through the struggle and pain and is still standing. That’s a Hall of Famer in my book

" If I didn't get hurt, I wouldn't have found myself. I would have still been apart of the circus" -Derrick Rose

When D Rose got injured it hurt my heart. This dude was definitely HOF. But this is a great interview cause he shows how much it’s bigger than ball. He created a tremendous legacy for his family. Good luck D. Rose, one of my favorites.

I will NEVER forget that all star game when they did the intros and Lebron and Wade and Dwight were all dancing and smiling and being goofy and they panned to DRose and he was stoned face, just standing there like “start the damn game already.” He was always built different.

Bro, this man deserves to be in the hall of fame off the strength of the talent, skill, and impact he had in such a short time before getting injured. This man was unstoppable even today you can still see flashes of his greatness. D. Rose thank you for what you have brought to the NBA. I appreciate you bro and so do many others.

“Only time kids critically think is when they going to cause harm” real shit. D Rose >>

Spoken like a true intellect. Those who don’t speak much usually listen a lot. Salute D Rose

When I heard him say he wanted to be MVP before the 2011 season, I thought he was crazy. Dude literally carried Chicago and beat Lebrons Heat 3 times that season with the best record in the League

"Knowing your history makes you whole" STRAIGHT UP✊🏿

One of the greatest PGs I've ever seen, and he hadn't even reached his prime before his injury. Glad to hear he's making legacy moves. Inspirational for real.

D. Rose found himself and that is more beautiful than his illustrious NBA career.

My man D Rose Flip His hat and said THIS IS MY LIBERTY BELL! TEARS SPILLED FROM MY EYES , FROM ONE CHICAGO NATIVE TO ANOTHER, THAT HIT DIFFERENT ! D Rose thank you bro. CHI-TOWNS Finest!

Being from Chicago, I hope he comes back after retirement or before, and spit more of this to the youth. They really need him and people like him. Maybe that would help their minds.

Derrick is a treasure man. Always been more interested in the man than his game because his game speaks for itself but he's always been reserved and in thought. Keep going and growing. Both of y'all! Great show Math.

Your in our Hall of Fame drose 🙌🏽

Rose ain't never talked like this glad y'all got this platform

Just seeing Drose do an interview makes me feel some type of way man . This guy been my fav player since he came into the league man . I never gave up on him even after injury after injury after injury 🐐🌹

Youngest MVP ever, multiple playoff appearances, he has a case for HOF. Under appreciated after his injury

This why you don’t see certain players like Drose or Kyrie doing interviews with ESPN like that. Because they see through the bullshit they want to talk about real shit instead of the fake shit. Imagine trying to have this talk with ignorant individuals like Shannon and Skip. They would just try to dismiss this knowledge and want to ask some bullshit. This why I only watch you Math because it’s real shit

Respect to Rose.....his search for knowledge and truth is commendable man. I have a deeper respect for his journey and the man even more. I think he truly will be even more remembered for the things he did off the court as much as he did on when we see his whole journey in totality. Salute to Math for allowing rose to tell his story.

Love DRose. Made me literally drop tears when he wasn't the same because of the injury. I'm happy to hear him talk this much about it and that he's been so mentally strong about what happened. The world lost a gift along with him when he lost that explosive & graceful athleticism like when musicians die too young. Imagine the music never made and heard, imagine the highlights never made and the roar of the crowd never heard. His highlights pre-injury are up there with anybody's All-Time and in such a short window a lot like undefeated Mike Tyson, Gale Sayers, Bo Jackson, even Barry Sanders since he retired early. It makes me so sad even watching them now but I'll still show them to the new kids and blow their minds when they see them. He was like undefeated Mike Tyson as a PG on the court, like Bruce Lee as a PG, like if the same heart that sparked that fire in Michael Jordan was possessing Rose and he could only go as hard as possible on every play as if to keep the flames behind him with his speed and athletic abilities. I miss that Rose so much. He let fans' imagination flow and think the impossible was possible every time he was on the floor. I'm so happy he had Joakim Noah with him during their glory years and the tough times since their brotherhood was inspirational to see.

You always tell from his eyes that he had a lot to say & THIS SHOW IS BETTER THAN THERAPY

Man this the most we heard him speak in bout 10 years props to him

Being from Chicago and just witnessing D.Rose journey from HS to now has been amazing. He the 🐐 from Chicago to me. Over everybody else.

Bro still a treasure in Illinois. He’s really about his community. We love D around here.

I like how they just let him talk

He's still a 🐐 to me all facts

Wow! This conversation is/was much needed. This is actually real talk. Salute!

This man literally got me into basketball. I saw him play and was absolutely hooked. 9th grade after school I came straight home to watch drose (mvp season). He became and still is my favorite player and why the bulls are my team. I couldn’t dribble a basketball or even lay up and I would go to the park to play and practice. It’s been 12 or 13 years and my iq, love and skills at the game have come a long way. Would say I, still pretty average or slightly above it tbh but the people, friends , memories I have made has got to be thanks to him. He changed me from a baseball player to a hooper fr👍🙌

Math thank you for this interview .. hands down one of your best guest

This is the best guest ever!!!! The dude never talks to anybody!!!!

Salute to D. Rose. He'll elevate even more as he continues his quest for knowledge.

Man, you never really know somebody until you sit down and talk to them. D Rose 🌹 the legend

This made me feel content of his career after years of always thinking what if. This gave me that closure. Rather that thinking what he couldve been, i can appreciate his accomplishments in that short time. And just accept it for what it is

Yall struck gold with this one!!!Rose don't ever talk this much !!! This is legendary

Bruh. Derrick rose is right on point. So true. The worst thing I hear when someone tells me something and I ask where'd you get that from and they say " I heard". Our history as humans has been manipulated for control racism and classism . Keep it going Derrick on your wisdom journey .

He’s my favorite player ever. We were lucky to have him in Chicago while we did.

I was so gutted for d rose and his career, but since he said he found himself as a result of the injuries, I’m happy. He got his dough, he got his MVP and now he’s got himself. Love.

I love seeing D Rose so open and expressive. it took a long road for him to get there PUBLICLY. Maturation and Confidence 💪🏾

First we need to start giving Math Hoffa his props for all his interviews and by far this was one of my favorite. It’s a lot of brothers out there that found out late about finding the information your self and coming up with your on speaking points Great interview boss.

The amount of growth that he has gone through off the court has been amazing to watch. He is a true inspiration to everyone. You have to love D Rose!

Damn would never though D Rose was into history like that. Math was on point with his explanation of kids wanting to be apart of something and questioning themselves.

Yooo, Math is not only getting interviews nobody else getting, but also conducting them well. Salute to the whole My Expert Opinion team

" Information & Education can be weaponized" very profound.

This is a testament to who Derrick Rose is as a man. Hooping is so second nature to him, that he can put his energy into his family and community at zero cost. And he's STILL sick with the rock!

I really like this discussion and the level of positivity all of you brothers exhibited that day!!

It's a blessin to hear and see this man dropping these jewels 💪🏾

Always knew there was something truly different about D-Rose. Salute King.

Will still always definitely be one of the nicest people to touch the ball. Real skill. Very sad when he got injured

Most driven and dedicated PG I've ever watched. 6'1" in height but this man is a GIANT. Top 3 PG in basketball history

Derrick Rose understands what it takes to be a man, and have a LEGACY. What a way to live man.

Drose awakened I can tell he said “history makes you whole”🔥🔥🔥

Man honestly out of all the interviews I’ve ever watched of Rose, this interview is The All Time greatest interview from this legend 💯 Thank y’all guys fr for this interview. I’m 23 yrs old and Rose still my favorite player inna league

Can’t wait for the full interview to drop💯💪🏾🤙🏾

This interview of the year math this need to be acknowledged on every major news/blogger and definitely should be up for a Emmy

That’s facts. When you feel like you’re never apart of shit? You feel like you don’t matter. I been that, doing dumb shit cus really I was hurt. Some don’t get to grow up & notice they were living wrong. I’m blessed to live to 30 & have accountability for the energy I was throwing out there. S/O D-Rose

Love this! MH, so glad you brought him on the show. I’m tellin’ you, you changing the game in regards to bringing our people to the limelight and giving them a platform to tell their story THEIR WAY - educating the youth on top of that. Glad to see you D Rose on MH! RESPECT 🦾 💯

Big shout out to to D 🌹. Breaking all the stereotypes of being a kid, with a basketball, from the Chi. Keep shining King! 🫡 & Respect!

Maf u just went platinum in the streets. Real streets ninjas been waiting to hear d rose talk especially if u from Illinois like me. We watched rose flourish 🎉

Great shit my man.. deeply appreciated

Drose really been thru some stuff cause his demeanor just shows it , really humble ,

Youngest MVP of all time should get him in the HOF alone!!

As a D-Rose fan , Derricks 50 Point Game vs Utah when he was a member of the T-Wolves was EVERYTHING……. This may be the only interview that I can’t wait to watch in it’s entirety once it drops………

This guy… when he was in his prime was my favorite pg to play for the bulls… I’m so mad his injuries slowed that down but I’m happy that he was able to adapt and is still playing in the league… much love to D. Rose

DRose my favorite college player ever. That year at Memphis was magical. I’m happy to see how vibrant his energy is. The man is past his injuries and moved on. Respect this this man

This just might be the best interview of the entire year 🔥

Salutes to everyone on the panel and D Rose! Keep the content coming!

Great interview glad I watch this

“Think I’m a hooper aiight cool” wow this guy is beyond special. Love and respect.

That's How We Move In Chicago Have People Thinking One Way About Us But Moving In A Totally Different Direction Deception is the Key To Winning Wars!!!

I knew it was something I liked about D. Rose even before the All-Star game when he didn't dance with everybody. This is a man who doesn't follow

one of my favorites ever. EVER EVER EVER. so much love for D. Rose

I Love this dude. Solid. Sincere. Respectable.

Talk that shit Derrick that shit my respect level went up a million from what it already was just from the knowledge you articulated 🔥🔥💪🏾💪🏾

God Tier interview! Never heard D-Rose be this open before. Good stuff Math.

My all time favorite player! he went through so much adversity & through it all over came that when everybody counted him out ! 🖤

I've been a D Rose fan since his Simeon days. I'm glad he's opening up more as he got older. I wish him the best.

D. Rose spoke on things that should make people Google what he's speaking on 🤝🏿🔮 especially athletes. Top video so far. Keep doing what you are doing 👏🏾 Math

D.Rose been my guy forever. This is dope

This make me respect and appreciate him even more 💯

Great Interview

Wow. Amazing episode. Derrick Rose is an amazing guest, a huge inspiration to many. This podcast really showed a side of him that plenty of people don’t know about. What I love about Math Hoffa and his podcast is that he actually LETS PEOPLE TALK! Lmao! I hate going into a podcast, knowing that there is a great guest, and the host talks over them the entire time! Lol thank you Math! This episode made me realize that Derrick Rose is a bigger legend than I could have imagined, same for Math!

I can relate when I kept going through break ups it left me to a point to want to learn more about life seeking for wisdom and knowledge it lead to a point I realized God's word is the real wisdom this world is so messed up it teaches to go against God's standards how we treat one another how we live our lives when we feel something is missing and being down and depressed..having your life set on a foundation will take you far Jesus Christ can change your life he will take away anything empty going on in the inside of you and make you whole! Repent and accept Lord Jesus into your life he died for your sins and he is the only way to heaven this world will pass away one day! Jesus loves you!

You did it once again Hoffa 💯🤲

Thank you for making this. Rose is still one of my idols and inspirations to be great in life.

Damn I feel this in my heart.
