  • Drake’s recent concert tour has attracted a lot of NBA personalities, with Derrick Rose being the latest
  • Derrick Rose was in attendance at his recent concert but was seen playing chess on his phone while at the event
  • NBA fans had many hilarious reactions after the video clip went viral on social media

Derrick Rose is one of the most well-liked basketball players in recent NBA history. Everyone loves the youngest MVP ever and sympathizes with his story, but Drake might not be his biggest fan right now. 

A video of the former Chicago Bulls man playing chess on his phone while at a Drake concert has taken social media by storm. 

Drake as a celebrity has great relations with a lot of NBA players, specifically LeBron James. And while the entire league might be filled with his fans, it seems that Derrick Rose isn’t personally the biggest one. 

Derrick Rose became a free agent earlier this offseason and subsequently signed with the Memphis Grizzlies. With a month and a half left for the new NBA season to begin, it makes sense that he’s out enjoying himself. 

It’s just unfortunate for Drake that despite his concert being quite the show, it wasn’t enough to keep Derrick Rose engaged the entire time. 


NBA Fans React To Video Of Derrick Rose Playing Chess At The Concert

Derrick Rose can do no wrong in the eyes of many NBA fans. His story has been one of struggle and inspiration, and nearly everyone is rooting for him to win a championship regardless of the team they support. 

So it was always unlikely that he would face any trolling for a video like this. But it didn’t stop fans from giving some hilarious reactions on social media as always. 

While Drake is on good terms with a lot of NBA players, he’s also known to hold a grudge and talk about it in his music. One fan pointed out that a Derrick Rose diss might be on the way after this. 

While Derrick Rose has been both explosive and entertaining during his NBA career, he’s never been one to show too much emotion. A fan used his reaction to one of his game-winners to make the point. 

Derrick Rose gets an absurd amount of love on social media, and the following comment is a great example of that.

Ultimately, it’s impossible to stay engaged even at concerts the entire time. What Derrick Rose was seen doing isn’t anything that millions of normal people don’t do. The man is just a normal person at the end of the day. 


Derrick Rose Is A Down To Earth Individual That Just Loves Chess

The NBA lifestyle comes with intense celebrity and extreme wealth for the biggest stars, and Derrick Rose is no exception to that. But despite this, he has stayed one of the most humble people in the league off the court. 

And he has a love for the game of chess as well. Derrick Rose started a chess club for children so they would think before choosing violence.

Derrick Rose once shocked an NBA fan who ran into him simply standing on a sidewalk in a city. Meeting NBA players out in the open is quite random, but it seemed like nothing out of the ordinary for Rose. 

Growing up with almost nothing, Derrick Rose has said his mother had only $20 for all her kids for weeks on end at times. Having seen hardship as a child, Rose is not someone who would be changed by the influence of wealth and fame.
