Derrick Rose announced his retirement from the NBA on Thursday, ending a 16-year career that included three All-Star appearances, a Rookie of the Year and MVP award.
The Chicago Bulls drafted Rose as the No. 1 pick in the 2008 NBA draft. At 22 years old, he averaged 25 points, 7.7 assists and 4.1 rebounds per game, becoming the youngest MVP in NBA history.
Injuries became a common theme of Rose’s career after his MVP season. Most notably, he tore his ACL in the first round of the 2012 playoffs and missed the ensuing regular season. He found his footing in the mid-2010s, however, averaging 18 points per game with the New York Knicks during the 2016-17 season, his highest point total in five years.
Rose received praise after he announced his intention to retire, led by his former college coach for the Memphis Tigers, John Calipari.
