Derrick Rose

Derrick Rose was the first pick in 2008 NBA draft. He just took off a flying start. He was unbelievable!

He was too fast, too strong and too good. In 2011, he was the youngest MVP in the history of NBA. The moment everybody thought he is the next MJ, his body started breaking down.

Wrist, Neck, Toe, Back, Ankle, Knee and what not!

The list continues, he returned after every injury to go back with another. Chicago finally gave up on him and traded him to New York Knicks where he had an average season like a normal point guard (Not Special MVP type).

He missed few games there also due to injuries. This season he went to Cleveland and is showing a glimpse of the material he is made up of in the preseason, he vanished again because of another injury. Although I am a Derrick Rose fan, it will not be wrong to say that it is very difficult for him now to get back.
