Truly one of the best moments in the NBA. I might be biased because I'm a Rose fan but you can't deny it was a beautiful moment. You could see how Derrick got more hyped with every point he made. ' It truly felt like both him and us fans were seeing a glipse of his MVP self again.
At the height of his powers, Drose was unstoppable. His silent charisma was unmatched. He would terrorize the league and destroy your home team but you just couldn't hate the man
@Diocletian60 bulls vs heat match ups were box office in that era. Could've been one of the all time best rivalries had lebron stayed in Miami and Drose remain healthy
@@oxfordbambooshootify Facts, I remember how people legit felt like the Bulls were the only team that had a chance at beating the Heat. Pacers came close but the true matchup was the Bulls.
@Diocletian60 I mean Derrick Rose was still in his 3rd season. Not like LeBron played against a full grown player 27-28 years old Derrick Rose. Also LeBron had Wade and Bosh so his offensive load was not as much as Rose. Bosh led the heat in ppg against the Bulls in the playoffs. During the regular season, Wade led 2 games in points for the Heat. Wade and LeBron were both switching on Derrick.
D Rose and Kobe Bryant got me into basketball. Christmas 2011 I was 15 watching the Bulls and Lakers to give basketball a try. And my hometown Bulls won on that D Rose floater. Been a fan since
Rose going into the lane while wade was on him and lebron trying to chase him down for the block and rose still made the bucket between them was incredible
Joakim introduced him to the high life. He would call Jo for advice before traveling abroad. He put his kids in the same school Jo had his kids at. Joakim comes from money. Two ppl from two different walks of life but they bonded while playing together.
Derrick deserves everything he’s gotten in the league man, most NBA fans know this guys story & his struggles. I’m so glad that after all the injuries he managed to come back & still retain the love from the fans, i still have all the D-Rose kicks i wore in Middle School.
Wrong. Most people don’t. His struggles are his fault. Dude ate candy for dinner and didn’t listen to his doctors. Didn’t believe in stretching and skipped on rehab assignments. It’s really his fault he never had a long prime.
D Rose is a Chicago legend just like Michael Jordan and will be forever in our hearts in Chicago. He changed basketball culture in the city. I remember everyone wanted to play like D Rose when he won MVP growing up as a kid. Everyone had his jersey including myself. Chicago has always been a basketball city. Youngest MVP in NBA HISTORY! Chicago Native D Rose!
It's a city of football/baseball FANS and basketball PLAYERS. Lived here for 15 years and I haven't heard of one high school legend in the other two sports. But I have heard people talk about Benji, DRose, KG, Jabari Parker, etc.
After Jordan retired and then Kobe and Shaq split up, I kind of took a hiatus from watching basketball because my Pacers had to get rid of everyone post Malice at the Palice. D Rose was the dude that got me back into it. The way he moved in transition and when he floated, it didn’t look normal. People don’t realize how crazy he was. He had the Ja Morant type hangtime, Prime Westbrook Speed, and his shiftiness was better than anybody I had seen. Maybe AI but I thought D Rose took it to another level.
Well said my guy. I always tell people how you had to see it to truly grasp how insane D Rose played. Like I've seen a lot of players remind me of Rose but they still lack what he had.
All facts and I'm 37.. closest thing now is Morant/ better most likely now But yeah DRose was different ( after LeBron, Rose was my favorite pre injury)
Just to be correct, he tied the playoff debut record with Kareem Abdul Jabbar with 36 pts! Rose was insane in his first ever playoff series! The series that got me hooked into basketball in 09. 🙌
Only Chicagoan’s know what it was like during that “see red “ era of the Bulls. We had a great Team in that 2011 year . D rose , Deng, Kyle Korver, Carlos Boozer and Noah .. I miss that team . So much heart and Grit. A true Chicago style Basketball team 🥲
Damn I miss d rose. What Noah said was right though, we love rose in Chicago so much because he was truly the hometown kid. He came from the southside, went to simeon (if you from Chicago you know what simeon means to us) from englewood, he walk like us, talk like us. Everybody wanted to love the dream of being drafted #1 to the bulls. He carried himself well throughout that time period too. Miss you rose!
Yessir, I'm from southside 31st, and Rose and I are same age and bdays a week apart. I felt a kind of emotional attachment to him I've never felt for any player any sport ever.
Drose got me into basketball. "I wanna go higher." I remember watching all those highlight tapes. Have a few drose jerseys and a couple Bulls flat bills from the high school days. I loved him man.
Man Derrick Rose was one of those players that you really HAD to watch during that time to fully grasp how amazing he was. Everything about him felt so...heroic? Like he played and carried himself with a larger than life aura. He truly was unstoppable, like Joakim said players feared him, you saw it in their body language. Like the Miami Heat was THE villain to beat in the league and Derrick Rose with the Bulls were the only ones that people felt that could take them down. The Pacers surprised a lot of people because they went hard against Miami but Bulls were THE team that could truly beat them. To this day there have been a lot of players that remind me of Derrick like Ja, Westbrook, Kyrie but none of them give off the same aura as Rose. The other only player that game me the same feeling that Rose did was Curry during his 2 MVP season.
As a fellow college student from Chicago I grew up idolizing D Rose. The amount he meant for the city of Chicago is unmatched. Pre-injury he was the most explosive point guard ever
Westbrook is pretty explosive, BUT you are right, Rose 🌹 is not ONLY More explosive, he is a MUCH Better Basketball Player!!! He is a True point guard and is a more efficient scorer.
I think part of why he’s so loved is that he was calm as can be but had freakish explosiveness, it was that Yin and Yang dynamic. Also the perseverance he’s shown over time is really inspirational.
JJ hit the nail on the head on the ‘hope’ Derrick brought to so many in Chicago. I was at his first game opening night against the Bucks in 2008. When he ran out of the tunnel and PA announcer Tommy Edwards bellowed “Frommmm Chicagooo” for the very first time, the building had not reached those volume levels since 98. The rose that grew from the concrete. He will get MVP chants every time he is here until the day he retires. It is an unconditional love for a hooper that made so many people believe and our town will show him that as long as he is around.
D Rose pinnacle was one of the best few year runs the NBA has ever seen... Absolutely incredible, must see ball player. He gave fans and the viewers his all every night.
Rose is still my all-time favorite point guard to have watched. I'm glad Noah brought up how some people turned on him when he didn't come back right away because that made me mad. He didn't feel his body was right yet, making sure to look out for his long term health and instead of trying to understand his thinking some people immediately questioned his toughness. He's proven how tough he is because he kept coming back and some people to need to learn a player being cautious with their health knows a lot more of what's going on with their body as opposed to some fan sitting at home passing judgement.
I hated that he got hate during that period when he said he wasn’t right, and then to see him go down the same way right after because he rushed back and didn’t have the time to adjust his body just broke me
He is so loved because he was humble. He had every right to be arrogant and obnoxious and we would have loved his ability. His humility and drive made him a fan favorite. DRose reminds me of Barry Sanders. Insane player, amazing work ethic, unreal humility. -Detroit Pistons fan
Man that 2011 year gave me one of the best childhood memories remember coming back from basketball practice running to the house to watch the bulls game on wgn at that time when Neil funk and stacey King were announcing together one of the games that stuck with me was that Houston game when D hit that buzzer man this guy always found an answer I would give anything back to live those moments
D rose played against my HS for the championship in Chicago at the Allstate arena. (Simion -vs- Washington) both Hood schools When I seen him do windmill dunk and then get a steal and do a windmill dunk back to back. It was crazy!!! he gave many people hope from the hood.
The youngest MVP ever, in a league with Prime Kobe, Prime Lebron, Prime Dwade, and many more. Derrick found a way to come above them all. Kids nowadays truly missed out on seeing DRose in his prime. He had the explosiveness of a prime Russell Westbrook but had the grace and shiftiness of an MJ or Ja Morant. He was incredible
@@michaeldatuin15 If Lebron didn’t go to the Heat in 2011 I doubt the Cavs would’ve been better than the Bulls. Rose had taken his game to another level he was giving the Big 3 Heat problems. Lebron all by himself would’ve been in trouble.
Statistically, lebron was better at everything besides 3 pt shooting by a tick and free throws by like 5% or so. The bulls had the best record in the league so to combine great stats with the best record and an exciting young player who socially doesn't say much made him an easy vote over 'the chosen one' who 'took his talents' to South Beach to play with a top 4 shooting guard ever and a power forward who could be sold as a discount KG but definite hall of famer. You could argue he got the little Nash treatment in mvp voting.
@@Firefenex1996 Im the biggest Lebron fan there is, but thats not why he didnt win lol. DRose led the bulls to the first seed when his team was injured most of the season and he carried the offense hard. Lebron outperforming him statistically has part to do with the fact he’s playing with two other all-nba players, and they still finished 2nd in the conference lmao
Being from Chicago and missing the Jordan era for the Bulls. D Rose meant everything to Bulls fans who didn’t get the chance to witness Jordan’s run. Till this day the what ifs will forever be bittersweet of what his career would looked like.
I was only 6 when Jordan won his 6th championship. I'm from Chicago and to see a Chicago native leading the team was special. My Noah jersey is my favorite jersey I own and the Rose/Noah era was my favorite era of my favorite team.
42yr old Australian and Drose is talked about every week in my house. We have signed Jerseys, shoes, ball etc in the Collection. We have followed him all the way and will continue to all the way to the end. Humble shy dude who I feel is a mirror image to my own personality. Australia loves Drose.
Being from Chicago, life long Bulls fan who also grew up during the Bulls dynasty.... Watching Derrick play from Simeon all the way to the last day he had a Bulls jersey on was a dream come true. From '09-2012 specifically, he had the city in the palm of his hand, but was so humble about it. He really was a symbol of hope in Chicago during a very dark time and the oncoming days ahead of it.
As someone who lives in "Chicago" Burbs I started watching basketball again because of Noah/Derricks/Thibs team. These guys had so much heart and promise. But it was painful to watch Derrick get hurt again and again. Thibs running dudes for 47 minutes a game, Taj, Noah, and then Butler later. Then seeing them get to the playoff through pure effort and passion and by the end looking tired and defeated. Not easy. I think Noah makes a good point, going from the top to a steep fall. It was all over so quickly and just like life, most of the time you don't get second chances. As far as Derrick, I personally went from thinking he was soft to having the deepest respect for him never giving up and doing everything he could to change his game and play. Even if it was less money, time etc. Hats off to all of them, best wishes.
watching D rose grew my love for basketball. I got every single shoe, shot hoops every single night. had me having nba dreams lmao. he had so many iconic moments in a short time. The dunk over Goran, alley oop vs the pistons, reverse dunk at the garden, buzzer beater against houston, dunk through wade/bron, christmas day game winner, etc etc.
That first knee injury was absolutely heartbreaking. As a Chicago fan and born and raised resident of the city, the city knew that we had found our new MJ. Especially after that MVP season. But the people of Chicago fell in the love with the guy based upon the person and not just his incredible talent and abilities. But after that second injury, the fans of Chicago and the league as a whole knew he’d never fully recover. It’s amazing that he’s been able to sustain a long-standing NBA career having battled thru those injuries. But the league was robbed of what could have been one of the best at his position had he not endured those injuries. Not to mention the dynasty that could have been created, championships, etc.
The playoff performance against Boston was actually his rookie year , makes it even wilder. Game winning blocks and all 4 overtime games in the series from an 8 seed against number 1, with a 3OT game in there
Drose not only my favorite basketball player of all time but my favorite athlete of all time he is the reason basketball is my favorite he is reason bulls are my favorite team and the fact he is from my city means the world to me growing up in north side Chicago in late 2000s early 2010s you would think kids wanted to be like Mike but we wanted to be like Derrick 🤝 Chicago legend there will never be another Drose I hope he comes back home to us to finish his career we would sell out the United Center every game the bulls should have never traded him to New York
D Rose is the biggest what if in NBA history, especially being on the Bulls and making them good for the 1st time since MJ. You know he would have gotten a ring if he didn't get hurt
When I saw Rose being the only one not dancing at the allstar game with the rest of the allstars while they were being introduced.. that’s the moment I knew how humble/shy he was.
It was May 9th, 2015. I was always a hooper but never got around to actually watching the nba cause I was taught that they don’t play real basketball and that it was basically globetrotter basketball. But that day I decided I would watch my first ever nba game. It was the Bulls vs the Cavs game 3 of the series and I watched magic. D Rose made me fall in love with the nba and forever he will be my favorite player. Wish I could of watched him live in his prime
A lot of younger NBA fans just won't realize the impact prime D-Rose had on the NBA. He was an absolute monster. He would eviscerate defenses night in and night out and had the most incredible layup package of probably the past decade. It was just insane watching him play back when he was in Chicago. To think what he could've done with just a few more years without injury. Players really start hitting their stride (skills + athleticism) when they hit 25-28 and that's exactly when D-Rose got injured
Please film an interview with "The D Rose". Would absolutely love it. This guy was such a star and there is only little bit about himself out there which actually is a shock.
Love The Heart And Passion That Noah Has.D Rose Too.They Were Alway's A Thorn In The Heat's Side.I Loved The Fact That They Never Backed Down..From Anyone.We Were So Close To Besting Them.D Rose Will Alway's Be My M.V.P.Love Noah Too.
Since Jo couldn't say, I'll give my most devastating Rose plays (this is not in order): 1. The block on Rondo in '08 R1 2. The alley-oop dunk on the Pistons 3. The fast break poster on Dragic 4. The game winner on the Bucks in '12 5. The game winner on the Heat in '15 R2
I’d like to share moment I knew Derek was special “does anyone remember the skills challenge his rookie year? Derek won the challenge but he finished it with a windmill dunk that made me jump out of my couch and say he is the next big thing. Derek Rose 🌹 is and wil always be my favorite PG
Always will love D Rose, definition of a baller. Gotta give love to Joakim too, dude played with 150% every game....even when he was at the point in his career where he couldn't do it consistently he still balled out. Salute.
You guys need to get Derrick Rose in here. My favorite player since he was in Chicago and now he plays for my city NEW YORK. He's pass his prime but still it's truly a dream come true man.
Joe saying the mvp is a gift and curse is by far the truest thing ever. I remember reading about that somewhere someone said the same thing about the mvp award being a curse and gift. Derrick rose gave his mvp award to his mother he didn’t keep it instead he gave it to his mom. Rose didn’t care about no mvp award he didn’t play for a mvp award he was playing for his family and the city of Chicago he wanted to bring a championship so badly here. Derrick rose is the peoples champ
D Rose is the one who got me into basketball, he exudes everything I want to be as a person, he was magical. I've watched hundreds of games after that, present and past, but he'll always remain my favourite player ever. Still support any team he's on and he's probably the only "celebrity" I would cry in front of if I ever met him.
I’m not from Chicago but being from Gary Indiana ima bulls fan but it’s like he lived everybody’s dream getting to play for your favorite team and living up to the hype and exceeded expectations while staying true to himself. Gave hope and joy to just more than basketball with memories made with exciting games and moments with family that’s no longer here.
Derrick Rose grew up in one of the worst neighborhoods in Chicago. Chicago gets a bad rap nowadays nationally. So It not hard to root for a guy like this to make it and hope he succeeds
We used to go to the park to watch Derrick play wit “the grown ups”. He was a basketball MACHINE!!! Played pick up all around the city and his name rang bells as a CHILD!! He was a legend in Chicago before he went to Memphis 💯🫡 and shoutsout to his brothers always holdin him down and keepin him on path too. They don’t get enough love!!
been a heat fan since 2000, Derrick rose had me scared forreal, i think one more solid player on the bulls would have put them over the top against the big 3
I'm an 80's kid. I grew up watching the legendary Bulls on TV, for most of my youth through the 90's. Shaq and Kobe three-peat Lakers, the Spurs, and the '04 Pistons. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw D-Rose playing. Truly a special athlete, and it was incredible to watch him. People love him because of his story, he was probably destined to do great things for Chicago, but after his injury, he still put in the work and found himself, as he said publicly. You can't hate the guy, that 50-point performance and his reaction afterward, really showed people what he was all about.
Stop. D Rose was good for only about 2-3yrs. D Rose highest PPG for a season was 25 and he only did it once. D Wade did that 6 times and his highest was like 31. D Rose 1 all NBA team D Wade 8 all NBA and 3 All defensive. D Rose aint close to Wade. He good but stop it.
As a Miami Heat fan, I just wanted to see Derrick recover and being back to being that amazing player who took your breath away with what he could do. That Bulls team was super scary, and it seemed like they had a bunch of bullies, but were led by this super cool and talented dude. I guess I don't know why I like D Rose, what made him different than any other superstar player, but he was amazing to watch and I just wanted to see him do well after his injury.
I think Derrick Rose is one of the most universally loved players.
Da Gospel u preach!!!
If I’m not mistaken he almost brought the big 3 to loosing conference final in 2011 & 2015 cavs too
we men, u can assume
Nah, I don't like rapists
"we men"
I remember when he got 50 with the twolves and nearly cried I was so happy for him
Jo watched this game at 3 in the Night in germany. Had tears in my eyes
October 31st 2018 timberwolves vs utah.
Same
That was an amazing moment.
Truly one of the best moments in the NBA. I might be biased because I'm a Rose fan but you can't deny it was a beautiful moment. You could see how Derrick got more hyped with every point he made. '
It truly felt like both him and us fans were seeing a glipse of his MVP self again.

@@tmac731 nah. He woulda missed the layup 😂
Seeing that you just knew Derrick was going to be a problem for years…. He’s still my favorite player
Legendary moment
You can tell Joakim really loved Derrick. They were legit brothers.
He compared his injury to 9/11
He did DRose wedding
Joakim introduced him to the high life. He would call Jo for advice before traveling abroad. He put his kids in the same school Jo had his kids at. Joakim comes from money. Two ppl from two different walks of life but they bonded while playing together.
They ARE legit brothers
I don’t want Derrick Rose to be ever forgotten in the world of Basketball
Youngest MVP ever and he did it during Lebron’s prime. Hall of fame bound, easily - I might add for any devil advocators
💯💯💯
He won’t don’t worry

And he carried it proudly and the marketing campaigns were amazing. From Adidas to the Bulls to Giordanos lol

To be fair that was dwade and lebrons first year together so they cancelled each other for the mvp race .
@@michaeldatuin15 If Lebron didn’t go to the Heat in 2011 I doubt the Cavs would’ve been better than the Bulls. Rose had taken his game to another level he was giving the Big 3 Heat problems. Lebron all by himself would’ve been in trouble.
@@michaeldatuin15 That's false lmao. Bron def got robbed according to some people. I disagree tho that was def drose mvp
Statistically, lebron was better at everything besides 3 pt shooting by a tick and free throws by like 5% or so. The bulls had the best record in the league so to combine great stats with the best record and an exciting young player who socially doesn't say much made him an easy vote over 'the chosen one' who 'took his talents' to South Beach to play with a top 4 shooting guard ever and a power forward who could be sold as a discount KG but definite hall of famer.
You could argue he got the little Nash treatment in mvp voting.
@@Firefenex1996 Im the biggest Lebron fan there is, but thats not why he didnt win lol. DRose led the bulls to the first seed when his team was injured most of the season and he carried the offense hard. Lebron outperforming him statistically has part to do with the fact he’s playing with two other all-nba players, and they still finished 2nd in the conference lmao
Being from Chicago and missing the Jordan era for the Bulls. D Rose meant everything to Bulls fans who didn’t get the chance to witness Jordan’s run. Till this day the what ifs will forever be bittersweet of what his career would looked like.
He was a beast and a honestly great person. That video of him getting the news of his trade was so sad!
I was only 6 when Jordan won his 6th championship. I'm from Chicago and to see a Chicago native leading the team was special. My Noah jersey is my favorite jersey I own and the Rose/Noah era was my favorite era of my favorite team.
He was the sign of hope. I am 10 years older than him and he inspires me in life. That my friends is what you call powerful.
42yr old Australian and Drose is talked about every week in my house. We have signed Jerseys, shoes, ball etc in the Collection. We have followed him all the way and will continue to all the way to the end. Humble shy dude who I feel is a mirror image to my own personality. Australia loves Drose.

Being from Chicago, life long Bulls fan who also grew up during the Bulls dynasty.... Watching Derrick play from Simeon all the way to the last day he had a Bulls jersey on was a dream come true. From '09-2012 specifically, he had the city in the palm of his hand, but was so humble about it. He really was a symbol of hope in Chicago during a very dark time and the oncoming days ahead of it.
This is such a dope interview. Joakim understands the fans
As someone who lives in "Chicago" Burbs I started watching basketball again because of Noah/Derricks/Thibs team. These guys had so much heart and promise. But it was painful to watch Derrick get hurt again and again. Thibs running dudes for 47 minutes a game, Taj, Noah, and then Butler later. Then seeing them get to the playoff through pure effort and passion and by the end looking tired and defeated. Not easy. I think Noah makes a good point, going from the top to a steep fall. It was all over so quickly and just like life, most of the time you don't get second chances. As far as Derrick, I personally went from thinking he was soft to having the deepest respect for him never giving up and doing everything he could to change his game and play. Even if it was less money, time etc. Hats off to all of them, best wishes.
Goat has spoken
Rose, Duncan and Kawhi would be a really fun guy talk
watching D rose grew my love for basketball. I got every single shoe, shot hoops every single night. had me having nba dreams lmao. he had so many iconic moments in a short time. The dunk over Goran, alley oop vs the pistons, reverse dunk at the garden, buzzer beater against houston, dunk through wade/bron, christmas day game winner, etc etc.
lay up through wade/bron :) can you imagine he dunked on both of them?!
On nba 2k12 he was a beast
Noah just seems like such a genuine and authentic dude
That first knee injury was absolutely heartbreaking. As a Chicago fan and born and raised resident of the city, the city knew that we had found our new MJ. Especially after that MVP season. But the people of Chicago fell in the love with the guy based upon the person and not just his incredible talent and abilities. But after that second injury, the fans of Chicago and the league as a whole knew he’d never fully recover. It’s amazing that he’s been able to sustain a long-standing NBA career having battled thru those injuries. But the league was robbed of what could have been one of the best at his position had he not endured those injuries. Not to mention the dynasty that could have been created, championships, etc.
The playoff performance against Boston was actually his rookie year , makes it even wilder. Game winning blocks and all
4 overtime games in the series from an 8 seed against number 1, with a 3OT game in there
Drose not only my favorite basketball player of all time but my favorite athlete of all time he is the reason basketball is my favorite he is reason bulls are my favorite team and the fact he is from my city means the world to me growing up in north side Chicago in late 2000s early 2010s you would think kids wanted to be like Mike but we wanted to be like Derrick 🤝 Chicago legend there will never be another Drose I hope he comes back home to us to finish his career we would sell out the United Center every game the bulls should have never traded him to New York
D Rose is the biggest what if in NBA history, especially being on the Bulls and making them good for the 1st time since MJ. You know he would have gotten a ring if he didn't get hurt
Those Drose years in Chicago was special to the city.
When I saw Rose being the only one not dancing at the allstar game with the rest of the allstars while they were being introduced.. that’s the moment I knew how humble/shy he was.
It was May 9th, 2015. I was always a hooper but never got around to actually watching the nba cause I was taught that they don’t play real basketball and that it was basically globetrotter basketball. But that day I decided I would watch my first ever nba game. It was the Bulls vs the Cavs game 3 of the series and I watched magic. D Rose made me fall in love with the nba and forever he will be my favorite player. Wish I could of watched him live in his prime
A lot of younger NBA fans just won't realize the impact prime D-Rose had on the NBA. He was an absolute monster. He would eviscerate defenses night in and night out and had the most incredible layup package of probably the past decade. It was just insane watching him play back when he was in Chicago. To think what he could've done with just a few more years without injury. Players really start hitting their stride (skills + athleticism) when they hit 25-28 and that's exactly when D-Rose got injured
Chicago will forever love Derek Rose 🌹
Please film an interview with "The D Rose". Would absolutely love it. This guy was such a star and there is only little bit about himself out there which actually is a shock.
Jo was always a solid dude man. Still remember that game 7 against the Nets where he went off.
all those derrick rose commercials back then would give me chills.
Facts
Love The Heart And Passion That Noah Has.D Rose Too.They Were Alway's A Thorn In The Heat's Side.I Loved The Fact That They Never Backed Down..From Anyone.We Were So Close To Besting Them.D Rose Will Alway's Be My M.V.P.Love Noah Too.
Since Jo couldn't say, I'll give my most devastating Rose plays (this is not in order):
1. The block on Rondo in '08 R1
2. The alley-oop dunk on the Pistons
3. The fast break poster on Dragic
4. The game winner on the Bucks in '12
5. The game winner on the Heat in '15 R2
I’d like to share moment I knew Derek was special “does anyone remember the skills challenge his rookie year? Derek won the challenge but he finished it with a windmill dunk that made me jump out of my couch and say he is the next big thing. Derek Rose 🌹 is and wil always be my favorite PG
It wasn’t a windmill dunk it was a reverse double pump dunk.
@@Mr.PR2000 who is Derek rose
@@bigdawg5150 Lol
@@bigdawg5150 I’m ashamed to say that I didn’t realized he butchered his name.
Always will love D Rose, definition of a baller. Gotta give love to Joakim too, dude played with 150% every game....even when he was at the point in his career where he couldn't do it consistently he still balled out. Salute.
I skipped work to watch the game live, I was so lucky. I've never loved basketball as much as I did at that moment.
He lit the fire back into Chicago that was missing since Jordan was there. Love D Rose! --Kings Fan
You guys need to get Derrick Rose in here. My favorite player since he was in Chicago and now he plays for my city NEW YORK. He's pass his prime but still it's truly a dream come true man.
Noah is a fantastic storyteller
Drose and Joakim Noah meant so much to me as a kid still mean a lot. I’m 21 so I didn’t grow up with MJ. Them and Kobe are why i love basketball.
D. Rose was the total package. Dude was straight dynamite. The world loves when a guy's got that dawg in em. Rose had that dawg in him.
Derrick was a gem in that MVP season.
The video of D Rose at all star game just standing there while everyone dances encapsulates his personality perfectly
“Painfully shy” 😭 I love d rose mane
Goran Dragic is one of the greatest European players ever but he never gets his flowers.
True tho
The Chitown Assassin!!!!!! Hes one of our own hel always be beloved here
Joe saying the mvp is a gift and curse is by far the truest thing ever. I remember reading about that somewhere someone said the same thing about the mvp award being a curse and gift. Derrick rose gave his mvp award to his mother he didn’t keep it instead he gave it to his mom. Rose didn’t care about no mvp award he didn’t play for a mvp award he was playing for his family and the city of Chicago he wanted to bring a championship so badly here. Derrick rose is the peoples champ
This was a great segment ( interview ) . Enjoyed it immensely . Thx
“What are you doing Dragic? Did you NOT get the memo?? Derrick Rose can go upstairs!”
D Rose is the one who got me into basketball, he exudes everything I want to be as a person, he was magical. I've watched hundreds of games after that, present and past, but he'll always remain my favourite player ever. Still support any team he's on and he's probably the only "celebrity" I would cry in front of if I ever met him.
Imagine people, in any situation in life, talking about you the way Joakim Noah speaks about his teammate Derrick Rose
👏
I’m not from Chicago but being from Gary Indiana ima bulls fan but it’s like he lived everybody’s dream getting to play for your favorite team and living up to the hype and exceeded expectations while staying true to himself. Gave hope and joy to just more than basketball with memories made with exciting games and moments with family that’s no longer here.
Correction that Boston series wasn’t his second year in the league it was his rookie year
I'm in Queens and get to see Rose hoop on the Knicks, but it's dope to see all the Chicago people saying how much they loved D. Rose.
In Chicago he's number one because we know if he doesn't get injured he's at least getting us 1 idc who says different
Thank you so much for asking Joakim these questions 💯
*D. Rose a Living Chicago legend* 🖤
Love this conversation, shout out Joakim for sharing ❤
Derrick Rose grew up in one of the worst neighborhoods in Chicago. Chicago gets a bad rap nowadays nationally. So It not hard to root for a guy like this to make it and hope he succeeds
Just love watching these videos! Learn so much about these players
People talk about how Quiet Kawhi is, I said, so was Derrick Rose! Very humble and straight to the point
We used to go to the park to watch Derrick play wit “the grown ups”. He was a basketball MACHINE!!! Played pick up all around the city and his name rang bells as a CHILD!! He was a legend in Chicago before he went to Memphis 💯🫡 and shoutsout to his brothers always holdin him down and keepin him on path too. They don’t get enough love!!
Too Big, too Strong, too Fast, TOO GOOD. Look up that Dragic dunk clip if you've never seen it, the announcers going crazy 😤
Man I love D.Rose! Kobe got me into basketball but Rose made me fall in love w the game. Forever a legend 🤞🏽
been a heat fan since 2000, Derrick rose had me scared forreal, i think one more solid player on the bulls would have put them over the top against the big 3
Will always love that Bulls Squad; Captain Kirk, DRose, BG, loul and joakim. Made me love the game
Derrick is my favorite bull ever.
Derrick Rose is loved by so many people. That man is a legend
Such a great interview
DRose was that little kid from Chicago idolizing mj, who actually could fly just like him. He was what everyone wanted yo be
At the top of his game hands down one of the best ever!! 🌹
Joakim never fails to impress on LeBron
Huh
I'm an 80's kid. I grew up watching the legendary Bulls on TV, for most of my youth through the 90's. Shaq and Kobe three-peat Lakers, the Spurs, and the '04 Pistons. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw D-Rose playing. Truly a special athlete, and it was incredible to watch him. People love him because of his story, he was probably destined to do great things for Chicago, but after his injury, he still put in the work and found himself, as he said publicly. You can't hate the guy, that 50-point performance and his reaction afterward, really showed people what he was all about.
D Rose got hurt when he shouldn't been in the game. Smh. I'll never forget that pro hop he took.
Thibs is a stain on basketball i dont like him
That guy is loved by all
Pre injury Rose was better than Wade.
Stop. D Rose was good for only about 2-3yrs. D Rose highest PPG for a season was 25 and he only did it once. D Wade did that 6 times and his highest was like 31. D Rose 1 all NBA team D Wade 8 all NBA and 3 All defensive. D Rose aint close to Wade. He good but stop it.
@@humblepharaoh5203 pre injury at the position I'll take d mf rose.
@@ronaldbryant252 They dont play the same position
Prime D Rose was scary good. He was the Barry Sanders of basketball. Always will love D Rose
I am going to cleveland on vacation😎
😂
Stop it. You’re gonna trigger Joakim Noah
Don’t come here trust me 😂
As a Miami Heat fan, I just wanted to see Derrick recover and being back to being that amazing player who took your breath away with what he could do. That Bulls team was super scary, and it seemed like they had a bunch of bullies, but were led by this super cool and talented dude. I guess I don't know why I like D Rose, what made him different than any other superstar player, but he was amazing to watch and I just wanted to see him do well after his injury.
Yeah I got scared when we had to see them in the playoffs every year lol can’t even cap
