How many times has Derrick Rose been an All Star?

Derrick Rose is an American professional basketball player who currently plays for the Memphis Grizzlies in the NBA. As soon as he stepped on the NBA floor, he showed that he was a superstar in the making. He is a former MVP of the league and one of the first point guards who played way above the rim, in the NBA. Rose was fast, quick, and was practically unstoppable the first few years.

After Michael Jordan retired, the Bulls’ fans waited a long time for a superstar to play for them again and they found that in Rose. The way he was progressing, it looked like he was going to dominate the league and win multiple championships for the Bulls but an ACL tear ended the hope. On 28th April 2012, the Bulls were playing the 76ers in the NBA playoffs. There was a minute left and that is when Rose attempted a hop-step layup but when he landed, he tore his ACL. Ever since that injury, he has never been the same.

Rose was frequently injured throughout most of his career and his injuries took away what looked like a promising young career. Since then, he has developed other ways of scoring and contributing to a team. He does not rely on his athleticism anymore and rather uses jump shots and passes to help the offense.

Had it not been for injuries, we might have arguably been discussing Rose as a top 50 player of all time. He was drafted by the Chicago Bulls as the number one overall pick in the 2008 NBA draft.

Derrick Rose’s All-Star Years

Rose is a three-time all-star and is a former league MVP. He averaged 20.8 points in the 2009-2010 regular season, 25.0 points in the 2010-2011 season, and 21.8 points in the 2011-2012 season. He won the Most Valuable Player award in the 2011-12 season where he beat Dwight Howard and Lebron James in MVP votes that year. He was also the 2009 NBA Rookie of the Year.

During these three All-Star seasons, Rose was arguably the best point guard in the league and led the Chicago Bulls deep into the playoffs every single year. He changed the way everyone looked at point guards because of the way he could explode into the basket. He posterized numerous players as a guard, which was unheard of during that time.

Rose is still an excellent role player who can provide instant offense from the bench. During the 2020-2021 NBA playoffs, he averaged 19.4 points for the New York Knicks and he can always step up when they need him the most during crunch time. Even after all those injuries, Rose once dropped 50 points playing for the Timberwolves. He is one of the best point guards to ever play the game of basketball and is one of the most inspiring players in the NBA.
