1. Derrick Rose

Derrick Rose will forever be remembered as an MVP in the eyes of many Bulls fans.

This should come as no surprise to anyone considering how Rose is well-received by the crowd every time he enters the United Center to play the Bulls.

Take a look:

Since trading Rose, the Bulls have been trying to fill a void at point guard. Some might argue the team has found its match with rookie Coby White, but I beg to differ. In his prime, Rose was a generational talent with a bit of a freakish athletic ability that is unparalleled by many.

At the same time, he was one of the central athletes responsible for making the Bulls relevant again in the league after years of disappointment.

It remains unclear what the Bulls could have accomplished had Rose stayed healthy. He has gone on the record, saying things could have been different had load management been acceptable years ago the way it is today.

As it’s been widely reported, years ago Rose suffered two serious knee injuries, which nearly ended his career in the league. Since then, Rose has bounced back taking on reserve roles most notably with the Minnesota Timberwolves and Detroit Pistons.

As his career statistics show, Rose is averaging 18.7 points, 5.6 assists and 3.4 rebounds per game.
