Derrick Rose Has Just Written One Of The Coldest, Most Powerful & Authentic Pieces Ever!
Everybody loves Derrick Rose!
Even despite his injuries and setbacks in his career in which we have never seen him reach his MVP playing level again, people throughout the league and especially NBA fans still adore 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.
No matter what situation we are faced with in life, we always have to look for a way to fight, and NBA fans sympathize with the journey Rose has undertaken in his career so far. It’s the ability of seeing someone overcome a difficult situation and come back that makes him a feel-good player around the association.
Not many players would have had the fight in them to continue their career after four knee surgeries, and eye procedure and surgery on the elbow, but Rose always came back.
Rose, who helped the New York Knicks clinch a playoff spot for the first time in years this season shared an incredible message on Facebook yesterday.
“Imagine having your dream job or working for a company for 10 plus yrs… Blood, sweat and tears and somebody from another company approach you and say …Hey… you look like your vintage self today LMAO. You don’t know them at all and they think they know you becuz they watched you perform a lil bit from a far. The shit would throw you off right??? You had your ups and downs in the company right! You’re human! But WHAT if the numbers say you were more efficient that year… WHAT if you’re a totally different player! It’s nothing VINTAGE about my game but my floaters. I don’t dunk or jump high anymore. I’m not killing u with speed nor am I a one man fastbreak anymore. I don’t even shoot my reverse layups lol. I’m a totally different player. I love chess so I would put it this way… I lost my Queen early in the game but I fought my fuckin way back to get one of my pawns down the board to get her back. If you know chess… that’s a very hard process to achieve and if you really know how to play you know even the master games are won with few pieces on the board and it’s about strategy, heart and skill. It’s cool to say I still hoop a lil bit…plus I been fighting through shit my whole life. I’m smiling through it becuz I been through the hardest shit. That was growing up piss poor in Chi and nobody didn’t understand my pain and dreams but me. Vintage or not… I’m extremely Blessed and Skilled.”
