when you look at MBA history it's safe
to say that there are plenty of
tragedies and plenty of sad things that
have happened Len Bias passing away
Penny Hardaway get having injuries Tracy
McGrady having injuries that derail at
the end of his career especially times
in his prime and they're just so many
what-ifs but I think we can all agree
that the biggest what-if in NBA history
has to be the case of Derrick Rose which
is what I'm going to talk about guys
what's up this is your boy your mustard
and I'm here with another video make
sure you subscribe if you enjoyed this
video and if you enjoy the content make
sure you hit the bell next to my name to
be notified follow me on twitter the
link will be down below now back to the
task at hand Derrick Rose came out of
high school Simeon and he went to
Memphis where he balled and whence the
national championship where he did lose
but he was drafted as the first overall
pick in 2009 and ended up winning the
Rookie of the Year for his hometown
Chicago as a member of the Chicago Bulls
now we all know what happened after that
he ended up bawling and balding and then
balling some more in his rookie year he
had really solid numbers of 17 points
and six assists as well as one stealing
four rebounds meanwhile he shot 47 point
five percent from the field really saw
the numbers to get him the Rookie of the
Year in the next season it was selected
for his first all-star game as he
averaged twenty point eight points
basically 21 points 6 assists and 4
rebounds and he shot 48.9% basically 49
percent from the field and then in his
next season before the next season he
had stated what stopping me from being
the MVP of the league and that's exactly
what he did because in his 30-year yes
his third year
the MBA at the age of 22 he won the MVP
putting up numbers that increased in
each in every statistical category as
his numbers rose to 25 points per game
eight assists and one steal four
rebounds and shot 86 percent from the
free-throw line
33% from three and shot basically 45%
from the field so basically a lot of the
areas that they said he struggled in he
improved he became a better score he
became a better shooter from the
free-throw line became better
defensively even though he wasn't the
greatest defensive player he was still a
good health defender and he was able to
lead the Chicago Bulls 260 plus wins in
the Eastern Conference and keep in mind
yes he was first in the East but you
have to keep in mind that the East at
that point in time still had the white
they still had the Boston Celtics big
three and they had Miami with LeBron D
Wade and Bosh so it was a pretty nice
East and as well if you want to throw in
the patience with Paul George and Danny
Granger this was a really solid Eastern
Conference and Derrick Rose was able to
lead that team to over 60 wins with a
lot of his players being hurt with a
roster which his second best player was
the wall gang and also if you want to
throw in Joakim Noah as well I know he
was a great defensive player because
Derrick Rose
he took a team that would have been
nothing without him and for those who
don't believe that that's just look at
the next season because the next year
his numbers did dip a little bit in some
categories as he dipped 22 points per
game eight assists 1 steal and a block
you mean while he shot 81 percent from
the free-throw line and from 3 31% and
from the field 43 to 44% obviously some
of his efficiency numbers did take a dip
and his turnovers they stayed relatively
the same and three turnovers a game but
the Bulls still did manage to win enough
games to get the first seed and he did
suffer some injuries and only played 39
but this shows his value because as soon
as they got to the playoffs he tore his
ACL in Game one of the first round
against the 8th seeded Philadelphia
Sixers and when you look at the team
when you look at the time in the score
there was no reason for Derrick Rose to
have even been in the game and I know to
this day Tom Thibodeau has to be blaming
himself for the injury of Derrick Rose
because Derrick Rose for those who
doesn't know he played a lot of minutes
in the first four years of his career in
the first four years of his career the
least amount of minutes he ever played
was 35 minutes a game in his MVP season
he played 37 minutes a game the year
before that 36 point 8 minutes he played
more minutes in his rookie year than he
has ever played since his ACL injury
ever and it may be due to injuries but
you have to kind of look at the fact
that his rookie year he played the
second-most amount of minutes in his
whole entire career and it's crazy
because Derrick Rose should not be
playing that many minutes for someone
who's that athletic for someone someone
who has that kind of playing style
someone who's not great on the defensive
side of the ball when we look at Tom
Thibodeau in the way he likes to run his
team it's very surprising that he played
Derrick Rose so many minutes and I know
that did contribute to his ACL injury in
a lot of his leg injuries because after
the 2012 postseason where he did
infamously tear his ACL and they did
lose in the first round obviously
without their star best player who led
them to the first seat in the first
place the next year he did not play the
entire season due to him recovering from
the ACL injury but in 2014 and he did
play a total of 10 games where he did
not average the best of numbers
throughout those 10 games
begin with the average 16 points and 4
assists but he shot 35% from the field
and a lot of people I know may be saying
he was coming back from injury and I do
give me some slack I cut him some slack
for that but he did only play 10 games
and he ended up tearing his meniscus
after those 10 games and this would be
basically the beginning of the end of
Derrick Rose's career as injuries would
become so prevalent in his career that
he was never able to ball the way he
used to and then it got to the point
where the Chicago Bulls ended up trading
him to New York along with Joakim Noah
and they basically wanted to clear the
old and bring in the new as well he got
traded to New York a lot of people did
praised his performance as he did
average a career-high ever since the
meniscus injury but 18 points as well as
four assists and he shot 47% from the
field but as Tom did progress does that
lettuce is immed it Wayne and
defensively he wasn't ever that great to
begin with and it just got worse as he
lost his athleticism and when you
consider the fact that the lead kept
changing and Steph Curry and the
Warriors started making shooting such a
prevalent part in the league Derrick
Rose's gangs started to really hurt any
team that picked him up because when you
look at the Knicks when Derrick Rose
wasn't playing they were actually better
because they could space the floor and
when you look at Cleveland the year
afterwards because yes he did become a
free agent after the year with the
Knicks and he was making a hell of money
and he thought he deserves a Mac
contract yeah hell naw as he went to
Cleveland and in those 16 games he did
not shoot very well from the three-point
line
he shot 25% from three ever since the
2014 season this man has never shot
above 29 percent from three and as the
league just kept changing you're not
great at defense you can score we know
that you can get the ball in the basket
but you need the ball in your hands to
be a
and it's not like you can shoot threes
and you're not good at the defensive
side of the ball so there's really never
any place for Derrick Rose in the NBA at
this particular point in time and what
makes all this so sad is that this was a
guy who was the face of the NBA he was
the franchise guy he was the youngest
MVP in NBA history when he in his third
season in the lead and now he cannot
even find an NBA roster because yes he
was traded to the Utah Jazz at the
trading deadline this season and then
Jesus cut through Lavers and what makes
it so sad is that right now a video has
surfaced of a few days ago of Derrick
Rose shooting a basketball in the
Cleveland State arena and it looks so
sad because this is such a new low for
Derrick Rose and I know a lot of people
are saying why would we even feel bad
for millionaires they're millionaires
but when you look at the fall of grace
for Derrick Rose no one has ever fallen
harder in someone like him and what
makes all this even more sad is that
right now he's at the age of 29 years
old
all of this ended before the age of 25
years old he tore his ACL at 23 and then
ended up tearing his meniscus at 25 and
we all know how the story goes from
there and it just makes this so sad when
you look at how great players like
Russell Westbrook are and him being
considered the most athletic point guard
in NBA history when at one point in time
that was Derrick Rose Derrick Rose was
the Steph Curry of that particular point
in time and he was so so young and right
now he's still young he's not even 30
she's only 29 years of age what a fall
from grace from Derrick
this has to be the most saddest story in
NBA history it has to be the biggest
what if what if Derrick Rose never got
hurt that's the question that we ask
ourselves basically every day as
basketball fans so if you enjoyed this
video make sure you leave a like comment
down below also you guys subscribe if
