The NBA experienced a significant shift following Derrick Rose's announcement of his retirement after 15 seasons. Previously with the Memphis Grizzlies, Rose is best remembered for his impressive tenure with the Chicago Bulls, where he quickly earned the title of MVP in his third season, becoming the youngest to do so.

Despite struggles from a major knee injury, Rose managed to carve out noteworthy performances toward the end of his career, including a memorable stint with the Detroit Pistons. Acknowledgments from peers and legends, like Isiah Thomas, showcase the impact Rose had both on and off the court. As he closes this chapter, the question remains whether his legacy will secure him a place in the Basketball Hall of Fame.
