Derrick Rose remains one of the more talented players in the NBA, dazzling with speed, quickness, and a remarkable ability to score. Unfortunately, his progression as a ball player has been thwarted by injuries, the most recent of which he suffered during the Chicago Bulls win against the Toronto Raptors last night (November 13).
Rose injured his left hamstring late in the game, after a few sprained ankles. “I guess it’s cramps in my hamstrings,” he told ESPN. “But I think it’s minor, and they decided to pull me out.” This scenario has become all too familiar since Rose tore his ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) during the 2011-2012 playoffs. Missing the entire following season, the hoops star returned in 2013-2014, but his run ended on November 22, when he tore the meniscus in his right knee.
All facts considered, one has to be weary of Rose’s health. Especially when we’ve seen stories like this before–namely Grant Hill, who also was on the road to greatness, saw his career derailed by injuries.
Simply put, to be Rose then, you have to be Rose now. But through it all, we still think the he’s an elite player with a hell of a future. Here are 10 reasons Derrick Ross isn’t like Grant Hill.
