Derrick Rose

Everybody loves Chicago's MVP, #1, Derrick Rose. Derrick Rose was born on October 4, 1988 in Chicago. He lived in Inglewood, the most dangerous place in South Chicago. His brothers taught Derrick how to play basketball. In high school Derrick went to Simeon. He averaged 21.1 points a game, 6.2 rebounds a game, and 8.2 assists per game. In College he went to Memphis. He averaged 14.9 points, 4.5 rebounds,  and 4.7 rebound a game. In the summer of 2008 Derrick was drafted to the Chicago Bulls. They had a 41-41 record but lost to the Celtics in a 7 game series. He won the Skills Competition, was Rookie of the Year, and made it to the all NBA rookie team. In Rose's second season he was an All-Star and the Bulls repeated them selves again with a 41-41 record losing to the Cleveland Cavaliers. On Rose's third season he was outstanding. He averaged 25.0 points a game, 7.7 assists per game and 4.1 rebounds. He became an All-Star starter! The best part was he won the Most Valuable Player. The Bulls record was now 61-21! They made it to the Conference finals, but lose to the Miami Heat in a 5 game series. I believe Derrick Rose has accomplished many things in life, that's why I think he is one of the best basketball players ever.
