The Official NBA Season Thread: Derrick Rose Retires 🌹

[Nike Jordan]

 

[WASHED KING]

D.rose is the youngest MVP of all time, and has worldwide influence. That's enough to get him in the basketball hall of fame. They bar aint that high. He may not be first ballot though

Might as well induct Jeremy Lin if thats the bar.

We will miss you Rose. My pops let me stay up for that Memphis vs Kansas championship game and im still upset about those missed free throws. In 2011 his MVP year was so special I bought those ugly *** D.Roses and the ankle braces to match lmao. Gave Chicago they first dynamic player since MJ and was home grown. A special talent. Will be missed by the real ones

Lin dont got a MVP tho

 

[WASHED KING]

Funny how they pick and choose which players get sympathy for injuries.

Derrick Rose gets the bleeding heart while Ben gets jokes.

 

[trappedintime]

Rose lead a team to a national championship, was an NBA MVP and despite the injuries finished his career with 17.4ppg and 5.2apg in 723 games. He’ll likely get in the HOF as there are far less accomplished players already in it.

 

[JMB10215]

Probably my favorite Rose game of all time. If you were there for the moment it felt like Rose was gonna take over the league at this point. This must of been what 80's babies felt like when they thought Pennny was gonna pass up MJ back in the 90s

 

[WASHED KING]

Is Goran Dragic a HOFer?

Cause Rose only scored 5 more career points than him.

 

[JMB10215]

Speaking of Dragic

That MVP means a lot but he might be less decorated than penny with less vibes and he’s not in the HOF

WASHED KING comparing BEN SIMMONS who clearly doesn’t want to play, to D. Rose who actually made the effort to get back on the court is laughable. Dude lied about mental health (which is egregious for those who really deal with it and is shameful). Dude was afraid to play in packed arenas. Dudes are completely different.

 

[WASHED KING]

We're gunna have a conversation one day how Derrick Rose's 2011 MVP is treated the same way Boston treats that 08 ring.

You talked to Ben personally?

A DNP is a DNP.

 

[JMB10215]

Shoutout to Derrick Rose, man that ***** nice

Nah. But I actually SEE him when he’s on the court and posting “summer workouts” . Dude is a phony like Rasputin

Youngest MVP of all time. At 22. Nobody is gonna break that record ever.

 

[JMB10215]

Ben Simmons is playing Warzone as we speak. Guys stop

Yeah I dunno how you come up with that horrendous take and expect anyone to think you’re a serious person. The difference is night and day. No one accused him of being a bad teammate in 16 years.

Wemby is only 20

I hope Wemby wins it this year just so I never have to hear that again.

 

[rolaholic]

David Thompson averaged 27 in college. Won ever award possible.
Pistol pete all time leading scorer

Rose was averaged like 14

George Mikan was a 7 time champ too to go along with multiple scoring titles and being named the best player of the first half of the century

Very different resumes

Y'all don't care about people being bad teammates lets be forreal.

 

[WASHED KING]

What yall not about to do is sit here and act like being a good teammate is anything yall actually care about. Imma send this whole thread to a dark place.

The NBA wasn’t even fully integrated when dude played. There were less than 5 black players in the NBA when he played

Same with baseball pre-1947. Baseball history would be COMPLETELY different had it been fully integrated. That’s why many of these hall of fame inductees are laughable in the first place

 

[pmatic]

DRose had one of the highest Q scores for a modern player. Don't think anyone hated him around 2008-2012.
