Man this hurt to watch. The reason why I got into it the NBA in 2012 was bc of D. Rose, glad to see he still hasn’t given up on his dream

Man that Minnesota game and post game interview can bring anyone to tears… I remember watching that live. I couldn’t help but shed a few

I was 13 when he broke into the league. Being from Chicago as well, he was and will always be my guy. 2 Big 2 Fast 2 Strong 2 Good

Derrick Roses' career is literally the saddest "what if" story ever. If he never got that initial ACL injury, he'd probably would have at least one championship by now.

Hall of Fame player in my book. A story of tragedy and triumph. An example of excellence and perseverance. Someone every basketball player should learn from and strive to be like. I wish Drose continued success on and off the court.

This was a masterpiece bro, made me tear up

D rose still one of my personal favorite NBA players. Great attitude, always motivated no matter what he faced, and he ain’t gave up yet. Hall of famer with the probably the best “what if” story in the NBA

Derrick Rose should finish his career on the Spurs. They've helped many aging veterans join them to elongate their careers. Plus that young squad could use his basketball wisdom and mentorship.

In a parallel universe, Derrick rose would’ve been a 3 times champion today

The trade to the Knicks broke my heart and when you see the camera footage it's just 😢

Loved watching him growing up, I got compared to him a lot as a kid. My family is from Chicago so I’m just thankful we got to see him perform at all versus him getting killed in the streets of Chicago.

This one’s gonna hurt.

Watching Rose at that time was crazy coming up , i was 11 during his MVP year , i watched damn near every game I wasnt even a Bulls fan , we all wanted to play like him at school and we all wanted the adizerose and ankle wraps , couldnt convince me at that time he wasnt a future HOF , sad as hell how it turned out , I remember watching most of these games live , the sunday afternoon game where he hit that circus layup on Bron and Wade and the Lakers game winner on xmas day 2011 , glad i saw him in real time

As a Bulls fan I'm forever grateful for what he contributed to us. That man left it all on the court.

D rose , Wade and Lebron all on the cavs felt like a fever dream what a weird time

13:30 as a Bulls fan, I never wanted Rose to return in the middle of the playoffs in 2013, he would not be the same if he came back that soon

100% shed tears watching this. He was HIM early 2010s. You about to make me run a MyEras with the bulls lol.

Ngl, this video type had me emotional. Was never a bulls fan but I loved rose as a player and always rooted for him, especially when they played against lebron led teams. It hurt watching some things go the way they did but I’m just glad he still pushed through all of his adversity and stuck around. The NBA needs Rose as much as he needs them‼️

This video brought tears to eyes, Rose would’ve been the 2nd greatest PG of all time

My biggest inspiration to come back from my own injuries and to never give up! The Return promo and ads got me jumping and working out at 2am 🤣 That's why he's my 🐐

😪 the pain I feel every time I watch him go down in the game 1 can even put it in to words I really hope he can come to the lakers I just want to see dude play damn man 😪

7:00 this layup perfectly describes the difference between Westbrook and Rose. Westbrook would’ve got blocked

I love D-Rose as much I’m a A.I. & Kyrie Fan ii say I’ll take PRIME D-Rose vs any guard in NBA History 👀👀👀💪🏽💪🏽

At least he still playing because if he had retired after the Cleveland stint we wouldn't have blamed him

It’sad that we only got to see him play for his first 3 years. He wasn’t even in his prime yet 😢

Rose will always hold a special place in my life & I’ll always defend him 🙌🏽 hall of famer in my eyes

This so genuinely well made Dom

Man that Meniscus tear was the first time my hope wavered but the occipital fracture was the exact mark of basketball depression for me. Drose is and will be my favorite player in the league until well after he retires. Not a single other player has has been as fun to watch

Beautiful video man thank you! Been a fan of your channel and D Rose is my favorite player! Thank you for an awesome video!

Shit made me tear up, always forget how heartbreaking his career has been

Great video man, really nice tribute to such a loved legend

The highlights always giving me chills time flies man..

Elite content 👏🏾👏🏾

One of the greatest guards and players ever.

Thanks for making this Dom! Brought tears to my eyes as the 2010s Bulls were the teams I was rooting for and I was really devastated when they traded DRose. I'm just happy he's still playing at a great level

I’ll never forget that Halloween game, I woke up the next morning to see his interview

Well done Dom 👏🏾

Still one of the greatest story tellers of NBA lore. Been here since the bron v Celtics videos. Keep grinding brudda

Amazing video deserves more views

The thing that sucks, is that prime D Rose I think was still yet to come. His game improved, as he tried to adjust with not having his athleticism anymore with stints in Minnesota and NY. We just never got to see it happen, alongside all that crazy athleticism he once possessed.

Dom, this is an all time video. DRose has meant so much to so many fans and players, and I feel that media has forgotten that. Best video I’ve seen on RU-vid in a very long time

Great video man! I love D Rose, he's such an aspiration, and everyone can agree that he's beloved everywhere. To be able to hang in there for so long with so many set backs, is just mind boggling, and I can only wish him the best tbh!

Im from Chicago, and I love D. Rose. If he retired in Memphis, it wouldn't be most fitting if not at home. Much love D. 🌹 😢

This was beautiful dom thank you

This is really great content, made me really emotional. I just started watching basketball when he won the MVP in 2011 and although its been so hard to watch him face so many struggles, its been so admirable to see him never give up.

My fav player I’m glad you did this 🗣️💯

Rip Hamilton said it best. When he was healthy, NOBODY wanted no smoke with D Rose. One of the meanest players we've ever seen step on the court, and a true warrior and role model outside of it. Just the sheer strength he has shown throughout his career fighting grueling injuries and proving so many times he can still ball with the best of them, changing his style to be able to stay in the league for so long, it's crazy. The confidence was there since he came in the league and has never faded away. There's no one like D Rose.

Great video, reared up watching D rose was my fav player

I really appreciate this video. As a newer hoop fan I knew the story of Drose, but never got to live through it. Doms voice as a writer is so great for this, I got emotional revisiting the Timebrwolves 50 pts now that I have full context

we love the long vids dom

I’ll never forget being a Drose fan back then. It was so sad seeing your idol as a kid be hurt so much and go through so much pain. Crazy enough Looking back it probably actually deterred me from wanting to play basketball as much. Growing up i loved playing basketball but Because of watching Drose and all his injuries as soon as i got a little ankle sprain or knee pain i instantly thought i would end up like him too. Now obviously i dont think i would have been good enough to go D-1 or anything but i stopped playing because of nagging injuries. All because i thought once u get hurt enough you’re cooked and i saw Drose go through it so i decided not to put my body through more pain. Crazy

Great vid. Rose is the reason I got into the nba. Miss that era of basketball

I'm ready for a heart break

this vid made me so nostalgic bro. grew up in chicago and drose still my fav player to this day so it was tough seeing him get set back so many times

I GET THESE GOOSEBUMPS everytimeeee ... I see old school D.Rose highlights yeahhhh

Rose will always be one of my favorite players. His injuries are unfortunate but he has always been talented and persistent. This is a great video dude thanks! 😭❤️

This is a beautiful video.

One of my favorite players growing up, I definitely pray that he wins a championship before he retires 💯

There are people out there who insist Brandon Roy was in the same class as Rose without even a hint of shame

Legend

amazing video

Great Video.

That initial injury was so heart breaking. Rose was really something special at that time. I am glad that he stuck it out and made the best of what he had, never gave up. Still, truly one of the greatest “what if’s”.

Man i remember when he got injured the second time i threw my phone and screamed f*ck smh man those were thr days pulling up to the lunch room in the mornings at school and talking about drose and arguing back and forth with the heat fans .....

Flowers to the most resilient man in basketball

My first ever NBA Game that I watched. 23:23 Watching My favorite NBA Player of all time. Thank you DRose

You a legend for the chris smoove clip🤣🤣

So much respect for Rose. With everything he has gone through, to even still be in the league is amazing. But, he has even been able to reinvent his game and be more efficient

That’s my MVP 🌹

every drose video just puts tears on a grown man's eyes

The one we needed but didn’t want to deal with.

35 minutes W!!!!

MY GOAT!

Man this video is tuff. Still can’t believe it’s been over a decade from when he won MVP.

D- rose has been my favorite player for about a decade now, I loved that man

This was great and sad

it’s actually hurts to watch this man i love d rose

As a chicago kid myself, I love D Rose story. Chicago's MVP🌹

This is gonna be tough to watch

Derick Rose, Greg Oden, Brandon Roy this 3 are my biggest what ifs, its just sad how their potential was taken by Injury, for someone who witnessed his greatness its really heartbreaking, I just hope D Rose somehow get a ring before he retire

S/o Dom 2K

Chicago kids of the 90s had MJ to look up to. We had D Rose. Dude meant so much to this city. I really hope he retires a Bull and they retire his number.

almost cried 2023-2024 memphis drose gonna feed families

Rose knees broke my heart bruh and I’m a lakers fan but I loved that kids game and personality so much

Surprised you didn’t go into more detail about that Minnesota stop. He had a good showing in the playoffs against the rockets and had his first healthy offseason in years which led to him really transforming his game which is basically the reason he’s still here today.

MVP

26:50 many twists and turns but you still made legendary history many cant say that

I remember I got liek 4 or 5 separate editions of the SLAM magazine with the cover reading: DERRICK ROSE is BACK, and he is READY for a RING!! only to see him tear his knee up again

Warrior.

We will forever love you D Rose 🌹 💯

That was incredibly painful to watch but I remember at practice going to the change room wit the boyz at seeing D rose dropped 50 on the wolves and it was so legendary, one of the best point guard primes ever and the most tragic to uplifting journey in NBA history!!!$$$$$

6:36 drums of liberation 🥹

Bittersweet for all of us, he is the yougest mvp ever Love him

solz n sage gotta watch ts man i love rose

Dom, hope you see this comment bro. Big Drose fan here and Bulls historian, im surprised you didn’t mention David Blatt’s attempt at going ONTO THE COURT to call a timeout after Drose tied the game at 84 in game 4. Please comment your take

watching dom2k in 2023 is crazy

Regardless he ALWAYS balls out wherever he’s at. He’ll always be my favorite player. MVP. 🌹.

The way we embrace this man speaks to highly of the NBA community. A lot of other sports would clown a guy like this, but we almost always wrap our arms around him and appreciate what he gives us

the year of 2012 is so cursed for me and D Rose. Sports really took our ACLs but at least he got surgery right away. I didn't get surgery until I tore it AGAIN in 2018
