Former MVP Derrick Rose is retiring from the NBA after a 16-year career.
Thursday, September 26, 2024 11:23AM
Rose, 35, announced his decision on social media Thursday morning. He also took out pages in the local newspapers of the six NBA cities he played in -- Chicago, New York, Cleveland, Minneapolis, Detroit and Memphis -- to thank each fanbase. Rose arrived in the league as the No. 1 overall pick in the 2008 draft, going to his hometown Chicago Bulls. The 6-foot-3 point guard quickly emerged as one of the NBA's most exciting young stars, dominating and dazzling with his combination of athleticism and fearlessness.
The trajectory of Rose's career turned when he tore his ACL during the first round of the 2012 playoffs. He missed the entire next season and was limited to only 10 games in 2013-14.
