Derrick Rose had an unbelievable career with the Chicago Bulls

Derrick Rose is one of the most electrifying players of all-time and it is not even up for debate. A career plagued by injuries, Rose still continues to play with his fighting spirit and is currently with the Minnesota Timberwolves. During his early years, he was known for his slashing, driving and had a great strength.

He was selected by the Chicago Bulls in 2008 with the first overall pick and he did not disappoint as he averaged 16.8 points, 3.9 rebounds and 6.3 assists in his rookie season. He won the Rookie of the Year award that year, to no one's surprise.

During the 2010-11 season, Rose came up big for the Bulls every single night and dragged them to the playoffs. He averaged 25 points, 4.1 rebounds and 7.7 assists, won the Most Valuable Player award. At 22 years and 5 months old, he became the youngest to ever win the MVP. The Bulls lost to the Miami Heat in the Conference Finals.

Today, Rose may not be at the level that he once was but to the fans, he will always be the kid from Chicago who played every single night like it was his last and brought laurels to the city although he never won a Championship.
