Man, I loved those Baby Bulls. The 2009 first round series against the defending champ Celtics without Garnett was the best NBA playoff series on history.
I'll never know the reason why Thibs played him with 1:24 remaining while they were up by 12! Kudos to Rose to being one of the most resilient players ever.
Because Thibs is a fool when it comes to managing player rotations. He overplays almost every good player he has to the point of injury. This happened with him in almost every franchise he's been on.
@@goldensperm7182 nah that's a fcking sham. So many athletes land like that. Basketball "analyst" are just finding things that aren't there for content. It's one hundred percent Thibs fault. Look at what's currently happening on the knicks, players are playing heavy minutes resulting to injuries.
To all these new NBA fans who hasn't watched vintage Drose, there was a point in time where westbrook was only 2nd in the most athletic point guard category and he was as fast as john wall in all directions. Dude was so fast his knees can't keep up. Still he had a great career, embodying what never giving up is. We wish him all the best
He's the one who made me fall in love with the game. I remember seeing his highlights when first started playing basketball, wanting to blow pass defender like that. Thank you Rose
D Rose as you youngins like to say “was HIM” injuries really did rob us of what he was really capable of. Think of a better version of Russel Westbrook. That’s who he was at the time. While he’s not likely to make the HOF for now , he really was THAT GOOD during his agonizingly short prime
I yelled "break some ankle D. Rose" when he came out for the Detroit Pistons and was shooting around before the Lakers v Detroit game back 2019. For a moment I thought D. Rose would come to LAL. He's definitely a legend in my eyes
There was an article that analyzed the way he lands that eventually led to his injury. Because of that article, I can't watch Rose highlights anymore because I only focus on how he lands and it breaks my heart.
Truly one of the greatest legend in NBA history. If it not been for his injury, he would have easily been a HOF. And who knows what else he could have achieve? All, the individual accolades, championships, etc. Happy retirement to the youngest MVP. He was truly a beast! 💪🔥
Derrick Rose is a "So what!", early success followed by multiple setbacks and injuries but the man always showed up when he's in the court. Good luck to the youngest MVP.
Man, this is sad, his injury always reminded me of "Doc Hundson's". When Drose got the call, it was like bulls "gave up on him". The same way the race car industry gave up on Doc😔
If rose never got injured, he would be having legendary battles against curry in their primes. He'd be the greatest bull of all time. I said what I said
im Thankful for the years he gave us, He honestly wasn't supposed to last This long with his injuries Let alone Evolve and still gave it 100 percent. Not A what if , Just the one And only 🌹
Its honestly absurd how MUCH Rose was able to play at that level of intensity before a serious injury. I mean like for real. Any of us who have even played sports "mildly" for a stretch of time feel it lol. I know he has the best trainers and recovery blah blah but he is still human at the end of the day.
Playing the “what-if” game is hard enough w just injuries. You don’t need to start changing heights too. “What if Allen Iverson was 7’4”?” is a stupid question.
He wasted his energy when the Bulls werent ready to win a ring. Injuries can be random, but intense explosive playing style increases your probability of getting injured.
you mean on his two feet? I noticed that he mostly lands on one foot, very dangerous, or at least unnecessarily putting extra stress to his landing foot.
D Rose is my favorite player, but now i can say he wouldn't be multiple champion, because of the incoming 3 revolution. And he would constantly be injured.
Delusional People in the comments love bringing up Lebron with wade and bosh when mentioning Rose just shows me when they started watching nba. Because lebron was one player that rose couldnt mess with in the postseason even with the Cavs the first go round. Yeah he made it look nice in the regular season but lebron owned rose and bulls every matchup in the playoffs
That first playoff match-up came in Rose's rookie season, though. And I'm sure if you put Rose in that Miami roster instead of Bron, Rose would get the chip too.
I disagree. The biggest "what if" in NBA history, in my opinion, is what if the Rochester Royals selected Bill Russel first overall in the 1956 draft. Let me explain. First and foremost, obviously, the Celtics don't win 11 chips, although they still might get a handful (more than most teams even to this day). Second, the Royals wouldn't be bad enough to land the first pick in 1960 - which means Oscar never goes to the Royals. Now, there are conflicting stories about why Oscar left the Royals, but the one I have personal anecdotes to believe, is that Bob Cousy was jealous, and the two didn't see eye to eye. But if Oscar was never on the Royals, he may never leave whatever team he ended up on, which means he'd have no reason to sue the NBA, which in turn, means that there would be no free agency. Obviously, free agency itself is reason enough, but there are more ripples One of Free agencies biggest impacts, was the league's spitefulness about it near it's beginning. In 1976, Gail Goodrich became a free agent, and the New Orleans Jazz signed him, however, for some brain-dead reason, the league decided that even though a player was a free agent - not signed to any team - the team they came from had to be compensated. Even worse, the Jazz weren't the ones who got to decide what they gave up for Gail - the league arbitrated and decided to take three first round picks. And in order to get those three first round picks, the Jazz had to give up the pre-merger draft rights to Moses Malone in exchange for one, which they used to get Gail. Eventually, in 1979, one of those picks that was essentially stolen from the Jazz, ended up becoming Magic Johnson As great as Kareem was - he wasn't good enough to win a chip without the help of two guys who during their career and for some, to this day, held the title of goat point guard. If The picks aren't stolen from the Jazz, they have a core of Magic Johnson and Moses Malone - and very likely never go to Utah. If the Jazz has that team, Malone never joins the 6ers (side note, Moses to the 6ers is the most BS lopsided trade I have ever seen, reigning MVP for one mediocre-at-best starting center and one first round pick who turned out to be an okay role player). Which means Dr.J doesn't win a chip in the NBA (most likely, although they were in the finals the year previous, so who knows). There are plenty more threads to follow here, but these are some of the bigger ones.
The bulls have young butler and mvp season rose If only james didn't make a superteam If only they build good supporting roster in them so that rose didn't have to do all the hard work
what happened to rose is tragic, all star name, all star face, all star highlight but he rely too much on athletism. so when he lost it due to injury he declined even tho he remained healthy. westbrook, lebron are also very athletic but they do know how to break a fall to avoid major injury to their legs/knees. drose throughout his career, stubbornly insist on letting his knee absorb all the impact. do the torn acl part is a matter of sooner or later. ja morant have the same problem with drose with bad landing technique. i think brandon roy and grant hill would have been a bigger what if because they can't even stay healthy or play a game without pain hindering them.
how ironic sometime human body cant handle the best talent, it also happen in football ronaldo the youngest ballon d'or winner experiencing similar horrible injury at such a young age 24
Kawhi leonard is the biggest "what if" in NBA history. His prime is riddled with injuries. DRose didn't accomplish anything but MVP. He played 15 years!!!
by your own description Rose is the bigger what if. Kawhi still won 2 rings and he carried the Raptors to the first Canadian team winning the NBA championship. In a league where it's all about getting the bag and getting a ring, Leonard did both (and has been in the league for 13 seasons so far).
@@maxmeier532 DRose, Grant Hill, Brandon Roy and so few more are what ifs but not the biggest what ifs cos they never got to their prime and we never knew how much they could possibly do. Kawhi, Bill Walton are the biggest what if cos we see how great they could have been cos they showed they can win but are limited to due their injuries. Drose and Co never proved anything so they could probably be a Melo guys who are so good but never won

Wait seriously When
@@ZeniV2 It was Thursday morning (09/26). Although, I'm pretty sure Heat Check covered it in the video

Wade was also injured. He also could be better if rest himself like Lebron.
Rest himself? You mean train and take care of his body like lebron
nahhh wade was quick when he was same age as rose
Thank you for that!
D. Rose is an basketball and life inspiration
Big respect d rose 🙌🙌

Just imagine westbrook vs rose
@@EbiFamil Rose would've dominated Westbrook with ease.

Crazy to think I witnessed his entire NBA season, he made me fal in love with the game his highlights where insane.
You can’t even describe him to those who didn’t witness.
I dont know but i love drose. Hes good.i also love his logo.its cool af. Wish i could meet him even if he retired. Drose for life!
Grant Hill was the other big "what if not injured" guy
I always have tears in my eyes when I watch early D Rose highlights and wishing that injury never happened. 😢
I see Heat Check with DRose content, I click.
This gave me tears bud, Good vid mate
He's the one who made me fall in love with the game. I remember seeing his highlights when first started playing basketball, wanting to blow pass defender like that. Thank you Rose

He’ll still make HOF in the coming decade or so.
Look at those highlights. He never used the "step zero" or the "gather step" traveling bullshit. ❤❤❤
Man D Rose has to be the fastest PG to ever play the game in his short prime. People could not catch to dude during the fast break.
Thank You DRose!

My favorite player of all time, next to Kobe and Allen Iverson
I wish we could go back in time and have someone tell D-Rose to improve his jumping and landing mechanics. He would have been an 1st ballet HOF
What if he didn’t play that 4th quarter, True legend 🐐
3:06 shettt playing 59mins? oh mah God, that's insane
That one legged landing on most of his jump, hurt his knees a lot. If only.....😢😢😢
His moves on the court are super human, no doubt. The only problem was he has normal human body parts.
D Rose was the reason that even against a Prime Wade, Bosh and Bron, you knew there was still a chance! 🌹
Bulls Lost in 5 games gentlemen sweep 🧹🤷🏿♂️🤣
do you really need a big green arrow in the thumbnail?
To indicate where HIM is😂
You may not like it but shit like that actually works
Respectfully, Bill Walton is still the greatest "what if" in NBA history. Maybe even B-Roy
@@redhorsepapi Blazers full of "What Ifs." Add Greg Oden to that list. And the 1984 draft.

Doc Rivers was Boston's coach btw.
I didn't know he retired. Dude was fighting his whole career and no matter what team he played for I was rooting for him. Enjoy retirement my man!
So sad, such a great player, destined to be a GOAT...he deserved at least one three-peat, with the Bulls of course.
I will never forgive tim thebodeau for not subbing out drose with the game already decided. Awful coach!
Almost cried when that happened. It was bound to happen. sad
hes doing the same with the knicks
@@jza1996yup he doesn’t learn, and apparently doesn’t care.
nba coming soon heat check dropping best basket vids
8:38 this series is a proof that NBA wants the Cavs in the finals, the calls are in Cavs favor heck they even gave them extra timeout
he is more of the biggest “only if” in nba history
Rose would have been a thorn to and the reason LBJ would be missing 1 or 2 rings.
🧢
@@chadlewis1963 ❌🧢 🤣
sad for him but happy he got to beatdown the Knicks a few times
Damn Derrick Rose played basically without any knees for most years. If only he had better health who knows how far he could have got.
The fact that this man made
Joakim Noah
Carlos Boozer
Kyle Korver
Taj Kibson
Loul Deng
To a conference final is sight to behold
Lebron and iverson took worse rosters further
Rose is one of the players you wish was 6’6-6’8 and healthy. Imagine
he didn't need to be 6'6", just healthy with no Thibodeau
Playing the “what-if” game is hard enough w just injuries. You don’t need to start changing heights too.

Avoidable injuries if he adjusted game style. Rose play style was tremendously wearing knees
D that never rose 😢 🌹
Personally I'd have Len Bias as the biggest "WHAT IF". Derrick Rose had an overall very successful career.
