When Derrick Rose was playing at his best, the Chicago Bulls were consistently among the top teams in the NBA. With the exception of his first two seasons, the Bulls were always a top seed. Injuries slowed him down and it finally cost him.
This season was the first time in Derrick Rose’s career in which he failed to lead the Bulls to the playoffs. Last season saw Tom Thibodeau removed as head coach, signaling a new era. The transition was completed when Derrick Rose was traded.
Plenty of debate has risen since Derrick Rose was shipped off to the New York Knicks. Constantly rebuilding, the current Knicks reboot is being headed by Phil Jackson, arguably the greatest NBA coach ever. He held a press conference where he talked about the Derrick Rose trade.
