Derrick Rose is no longer a player with the Chicago Bulls. It’s weird, but these five awesome moments from Derrick Rose’s career in Chicago aren’t.

Before Derrick Rose ventures off into the next phase of his playing career in the NBA, we’ll take a look back at some of his greatest moments as a member of the Chicago Bulls.

I know what some are thinking, “How can you make a list of so many?”

Before the three knee surgeries derailed his career to this point, Rose quickly became one of the most popular players in the NBA with his ability to blow past any defender, throw down some thunderous dunks and excite crowds like few players could.

His popularity was reaching elite status across the league and across the world.

Hell, adidas paid him $185 million to wear their shoes.

He was that popular.

There’s still that excitement when Rose hits a nasty crossover or attack the basket for a ridiculous-looking layup that involves contorting his body with weird-looking moves that don’t make any sense.

There’s so many fun moments in Rose’s career to pick from, but for this list, we’ll take just five of them.
