Derrick Rose Is Grateful For Receiving Such Great Fan Support

Derrick Rose’s performances for the Minnesota Timberwolves is the feel good story of the season. After almost being out of the league, Tom Thibodeau and the Wolves gave Rose another shot. It turned out to be a win win situation for both parties involved.

Even despite his injuries and setbacks in his career in which have never seen him reach his MVP playing level again, until to some parts in this season, people throughout the league and especially NBA fans still (and always have) adore(d) him. He was one of the most feared offensive players in the association, and now remains a solid fan favorite throughout NBA fan bases. I believe NBA fans want him to succeed so badly because of what he’s been through. I think it’s fair to say that Rose’s struggles throughout his career are relatable to the struggles individuals face in their everyday life.

This season Rose was almost voted in as an All-Star starter, and was able to experience plenty of support and love from NBA fans. Something he is very grateful of.

“It’s very satisfying. It just shows like examples of people really showing love. For some reason they follow my career & love the way that I play this game of basketball. I’m grateful for it & my family loves the support too.”
