Derrick Rose, former NBA MVP, retires after 15 seasons

Derrick Rose ends his career after 15 NBA seasons.

The former Knicks point guard announced his retirement on Instagram on Thursday, posting a photo of himself holding a newspaper containing a love letter to basketball.

“The next chapter is about pursuing my dreams and passing on my development,” Rose told The Athletic.

“I believe that true success is becoming what you were created to be and I want to show the world who I am beyond basketball.

“For better or for worse, everyone has a ‘what if’ story in their life. Even if I could, I wouldn’t change mine because it helped me find true joy.”

Previously, Rose, who turns 35 in October, shared a video on Instagram in which he holds a rose while writing in his diary and is captioned: “The Rebirth, 09/26/24.”

The Grizzlies released Rose on Monday.

Rose, the number 1 pick in the 2008 draft, was the youngest MVP in NBA history in 2011 at age 22.

Rose was Rookie of the Year in 2009 and a three-time All-Star, playing for the Bulls, Knicks, Cavaliers, Timberwolves, Pistons and Grizzlies.

What could have been the career of an entire generation was halted by a series of knee injuries.
