Derrick Rose’s story is about belief.

He believed in himself. Chicago believed in him.

What Rose’s NBA career could have been had he never gotten injured…

That being said, I’m glad to see that he seems to be doing in life overall.

Glasses look good on Derrick Rose

Nice.

Did he believe in himself when he had to have someone else take his ACT to make the minimum to get into the University of Memphis?

And the jury believed that consent wasn't important.

That jury basically ruled that it doesn’t matter how fucked up you are you can still give consent and that if you are raped by 3 people that is 3x the people that can dispute your story. Fucking gross.

"Belief" doesn't earn a jersey retirement.

Love how the Athletic didn't bring up the rape allegation 🙄. Wouldn't want to tarnish a *man's* reputation

I was thinking the same thing and the details of that incident are very disturbing. I'm not sure he's someone to be celebrated.
