Derrick Rose is definitely one of the biggest ‘what-ifs’ in NBA history, as he was bothered by injuries that derailed his career, which looked incredibly promising after the first three years. 

Rose became the youngest MVP award winner in 2011 after a magical season with the Chicago Bulls, even taking them to the Eastern Conference Finals that year. Unfortunately, they lost to LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Bosh in the series, but after that moment, many people knew Rose and his Bulls were coming. 

Sadly, none of that happened, as Rose’s body started messing with him, making him a shell of the player he appeared to be at the beginning of his career. Rose became one of the most beloved players in the NBA due to all the bad things he had to live, but everybody knows he could have been so much more than he is right now.


NBA Fans Debate If Derrick Rose Is A Future Hall Of Famer

He remains a player of interest in the league, even linked with trades to contenders like the Dallas Mavericks. After the trade season starts tomorrow, D-Rose could leave the New York Knicks and find a new home in the league. Meanwhile, his name was recently brought up with a huge question: does he belong to the Hall of Fame?

Many fans replied to this, starting a big discussion on how Rose stands among the greatest of all time. It’s pretty clear that he could have had a so much better career, but that’s not enough to make it for fans. 

Definitely not wtf

God this tweet hurt my feelings. I’m a grown ass man who’s mood really dropped due to a question on Twitter.

Why not? They put tmac in it

— El (@GoKickRocks_4) December 14, 2022

no

— Eddy (@eddyslavin420) December 14, 2022

In basketball yes, even though he didn’t live up to his potential cause of injuries he had an amazing year in college, a rookie of the year, MVP, some amazing seasons and a 13+ year career

Love Derrick Rose but let's be honest he was not the same after the injury you can't be in a hall of fame on what could've been.

Very few guys are guarantees if you think about it,i do think he will eventually make it though because of his story outside of the game and just how much people appreciate him

— 🇦🇱 (@OGAnunAlbania) December 14, 2022

Name an mvp that isn’t

— IV (@The_Fourth_Wade) December 14, 2022

No chance. You don’t get in the hall of fame for being good 1/4 of your entire career.

Yes, no debate necessary. Anyone debating this was born after the year 2000 and shouldn’t be taken seriously.

Yes, but not on the first ballot, imho

Yall need to let go of this love affair with him. He’s a had a great career but he never became the player he was headed towards because of injury. Love him as a player but it’s a stretch to say he’s had a HOF career

— Eagles 3-0 🦅 (@the_holloway) December 14, 2022

Not first ballot but someday sure

— Naz (Goat) Reid 🐺 🕷️ (@NazGoatReid) December 14, 2022

Yes he won a mvp and multiple time all star.

— ? (@OnlyMyTiming) December 14, 2022

unfortunately not but a legend he will remain

— Middy Garoppolo (@MiddyGaroppolo) December 14, 2022

Yes this shouldn’t still be a question. Only people who say otherwise are LBJ fans

— hoopswithbulls (@BullsWrld_) December 14, 2022

Yes all mvps should be in the hof

— Adi (@ChubbXHunt) December 14, 2022

Bill Bradley is in the Hall of Fame. Fuckin right Derrick is a lock.

— 🍀☠️ (@KolTheCarry) December 14, 2022

Guaranteed: no. Should he be: probably.

He shouldn’t be, but they let anyone in the HOF now so why not

Tim Hardaway got in the hall of fame bro, it’s the hall of above average now let D Rose in

— it do be like that sometime (@preboilurpasta) December 14, 2022

An mvp = hof confirmed

— Official Steve Furry Kumara 🔮 (@FurryKumara) December 14, 2022

Derrick Rose is considered one of the greatest Chicago Bulls players of all time after everything he did during his best years. He was expected to lead the team to the promised land just like Michael Jordan did in the 90s, but we all know that never happened. Still, Rose is one of the most beloved players in the league, but love isn’t enough to become a Hall of Famer.
