Derrick Rose

Jim Boeheim’s latest verbal foray into Carmelo Anthony’s free-agency decision is going to make Phil Jackson blush. The Syracuse head coach was exceedingly vocal leading up to Anthony’s free agency and recurrently admitted he wanted the All-Star forward to sign somewhere he could win. But Anthony signed in New York, where he’s not going to [...]

There are (roughly) 7,045,999,999 in this world who can’t touch Derrick Rose in Coach Mike Krzyzewski’s eyes. The Team USA head coach has strong feelings for the Chicago Bulls point guard. Very strong feelings. So strong, players at Duke might want to start taking offense. Speaking on Rose’s progression and his personality, Coach K threw a [...]

Something tells me this is kind of a big deal. Kevin Durant has decided to withdraw himself from Team USA’s FIBA World Cup roster. Marc Stein of ESPN.com dropped the bomb: [tweet https://twitter.com/ESPNSteinLine/status/497507577060552704] His bomb was followed by Durant’s announcement bomb, which didn’t cite Paul George’s injury for his decision, per Jeff Zillgitt and Adi [...]

The relationship between Derrick Rose and the Chicago Bulls is straight up weird. Toxic? Maybe. Ridiculous? Perhaps. Incomprehensible? Sure. But weird? Most definitely. Franchise stars and their teams normally see eye-to-eye. When they don’t, well, LeBron James’ first decision happens. Kevin Love and the Minnesota Timberwolves happens. Carmelo Anthony and the Denver Nuggets happens. Long-term [...]

Derrick Rose is still brimming with confidence. Two campaign-crippling injuries later, the Chicago Bulls point guard could be timid. He’s played in 50 games—regular season and playoffs—since 2011-12. He’s spent the last two years or so riding the pine. There is reason for doubt, for fear. Not everyone believes he will return to form, or [...]

Someone, anyone, must explain the Chicago Bulls’ sudden infatuation with Kevin Love. After adding Pau Gasol to a frontcourt rotation that already includes Joakim Noah and Taj Gibson, and after basically removing themselves from the Carmelo Anthony sweepstakes by asking him to take a ridiculously large pay cut, the Bulls are apparently making a competitive [...]

adidas might be the most anxious entity for Derrick Rose to return to professional basketball play. In anticipation, we get an official look at the D Rose 773 III. For the third sneaker in the Derrick Rose team sneaker series with adidas, a triple-layer upper is used here with a perforated Sprintweb material used to [...]

Wave goodbye to Carlos Boozer at your own risk. Long considered an inevitable amnesty casualty, Boozer may have played his last game for the Chicago Bulls. At 32 and due nearly $17 million next season, he doesn’t fit into the Bulls’ plans long term, nor does he provide the offensive boon they once valued him [...]

Is it the shoes? In Joakim Noah’s case, yes. Or maybe. He sure thinks so. According to a TMZ Sports report, Noah sued his former shoe sponsor in November, claiming it gipped him of money and aided in the progression of his plantar fasciitis: NBA superstar Joakim Noah has sued his former shoe sponsor — [...]

Unlike the 2012-13 NBA season, Derrick Rose actually made the return to the league only to, once again, be out for the rest of the season again. With the foreseeable return of the 2011 NBA MVP in the next season also brings a new signature sneaker. Seen shooting around before Chicago Bulls games now is [...]
