Chicago’s 15 Best NBA Players of All-Time

4. Derrick Rose

The Chi-town hero.

While Derrick Rose had a noteworthy run with the Chicago Bulls early in his career, his story was cut short and re-written due to lingering injury issues.

Derrick Rose was believed to be destined to bring back an NBA Championship to Chicago, but it never happen. Instead Derrick Rose’s journey became about his comeback, a legendary comeback from multiple surgeries. Before battling injuries, Derrick Rose won Rookie of the Year, League MVP, was an All-NBA team selection, All-Rookie selection, and 3x All-Star with the Chicago Bulls.

Now with the Detroit Pistons, Derrick Rose is emerging as one of the best point guards in the NBA once again. The future Hall of Famer is averaging about 21 points and 6 assists per game on a remarkable 56% shooting.
