While Derrick Rose’s days as an elite player are far behind him, his global fanbase rivals today’s stars of the league. In a recent trip to China to promote his D Rose 8, Derrick was shown a compilation video featuring Chinese fans expressing heartfelt messages of thanks and support. The video brought Rose to tears, who has certainly has his fair share of hardships throughout his career, one that is unquestionably one of the biggest “what if” careers in NBA history.
Derrick Rose, despite his stoic demeanor, is not one to hide his emotions. During an adidas media event in Chicago in 2013, Rose shed tears of sadness in reaction to the countless murders that were occurring in the streets of Chicago.
The adidas D Rose 8 is set to release later this season.
