Derrick Rose was the 1st overall pick in 2008 draft by his hometown Chicago Bulls. Rose was at his best from the first day of his NBA career. His athletism and skills were unmatched, which helped him to become the youngest MVP ever in 2011.

Rose tore his ACL his in game 1 against Philadephia in the 2012 Playoffs. He missed the entire 2012-13 season. After his return in next season, he again injured his meniscus, which forced him to miss the rest of that season. After that, he restarted his career with the New York Knicks in 2016-17 but he couldn't settle there as well. Hence, he is playing for the Cleveland Cavaliers this season on a veteran's minimum.
