His MVP year was really something special. He was never the same after the knee injury but in his prime, he was one of the most exciting players to watch.

One of the biggest what if’s in sports. MVP at only 24 years old, so he was just getting into his prime years. Could have gone down as an all time great if he hadn’t gotten hurt.

And who knows whether Miami’s big 3 ever wins a title if they’d have had to go through the Bulls those years

I heard he’s going back to school. Currently studying for his ACT test in Detroit

It wasn't even on a normal basketball move. That's a travel. Both feet leave the ground and he lands.

May go down as one of the biggest “what if” careers in American pro sports

They would have. The question is, would Rose and the Bulls have won one? His MVP year they were paper tigers as everyone knew Miami was the better team. Then they run up against Kobe, or later, the OKC big 3 if they get past Miami… a few years later you have Golden State

That was his style of play. I view it like the running qb who keeps getting injured. What made him good is what made him get hurt

One of the biggest what-ifs in NBA history.

Rose’s MVP year Miami smoked them in 5 in the ECF. Those Bulls teams would’ve never won one regardless of his health issues.

Similar to Grant Hill in that he managed to have a productive career for yrs after it looked like he was finished.

He was so explosive off the dribble.
