Derrick Rose (born October 4, 1988) is an American professional basketball player for the New York Knicks.
The once upon a time number 1 player in the nation, Rose has had a career of both sour and sweet moments, sour moments making him injury prone but received a lot of love from fans to keep him going.
His injury plagued career has nevertheless kept him from still being a very top player when he plays.
Rose was born October 4, 1988 in Englewood.
Early Life
Rose grew up in the Englewood neighborhood of Chicago’s South Side, which is one of the city’s most violent areas.
After Dwayne, Reggie, and Allan, he is Brenda Rose’s youngest son.
On neighboring courts, all three were outstanding basketball players who taught Rose the fundamentals of the game.
Rose began to garner considerably more outside interest in Chicago’s basketball circles as his talent for the sport expanded, prompting his mother and brothers to limit outside contact with him.
She was concerned that, like former Chicago prospect Ronnie Fields, he might be exploited and his road to the NBA derailed by outside parties such as street agents.
Without a father in his life, his mum and older brothers played fatherly roles in his life.

He lived up to expectations and finally got a Scholarship at the University of Memphis.
