They do Derrick Rose so wrong, acting like he didn’t win the MVP, in 2011. That was just before LeBron James officially took over the Eastern Conference. There was a legitimate question of if Derrick Rose and the Chicago Bulls would be a threat to the Miami Heat dynasty.
Injuries to Derrick Rose robbed him and his team of that possibility, but the Indiana Pacers, led by Paul George, took that spot. Now, Wade actually plays for the Bulls and the Pacers traded George to OKC. Even more irony, LeBron’s back in Cleveland and D. Rose is there, too.
It’s no secret that Derrick Rose has dealt with a constant string of injuries, since his MVP season. Had it not been for those injuries, he would have lived up to the hype, but he didn’t. The Onion had fun with that, including Derrick Rose in their list of people who attend NBA games.
