Named MVP in 2011 at just 22 years old, Derrick Rose remains the youngest player to have achieved this recognition in North American basketball. After sixteen seasons with the Chicago Bulls, with whom he stayed eight years, the New York Knicks and Cleveland Cavaliers, the Minnesota Timberwolves, the Detroit Pistons, the Knicks again and the Memphis Grizzlies, Rose bids farewell, hoping to “show the world” the man who è “beyond” the basketball world”. “Whether good or bad, everyone has a certain story in their life. Even if I could, I would not change mine, becauseé è the story that allowed me to find true joy”, he added in the statement.

On his Instagram account, Rose posted a photo in which he appears in front of a chessboard holding a newspaper, on which è he wrote a message intended for basketball. “Thank you, my first love, you believed in me through thick and thin, when everything seemed uncertain. You made every morning and night spent together worth every drop of sweat. You showed me that passion è something to cherish, making sure I put my all into every dribble, every shot, every game”, you read.

A playmaker, Rose has seen his career interrupted by several injuries, particularly to his knees. In 2012, “D-Rose” who was playing for the Bulls at the time, ruptured the anterior cruciate ligament in his knee when his team had a serious chance of winning the NBA title. That same year è he was forced to withdraw from the London Olympics. He averaged 17.4 points and 5.2 assists in 723 games played.
