Derrick Rose, a former MVP and a dynamic point guard, announced his retirement after 16 seasons in the NBA. He played his final games with the Memphis Grizzlies, appearing in just 24 contests last season, primarily as a bench player. Rose's career was marked by explosive talent and significant injuries, including an ACL tear that derailed what seemed to be a Hall of Fame trajectory. Despite these setbacks, he achieved notable accolades, including three All-Star selections and being the youngest MVP in league history. His later years saw him adapt his game, developing a three-point shot and embracing a sixth-man role, but ultimately, he struggled to maintain a consistent presence on the court.
