The biggest what-if in NBA history has to be about Derrick Rose. He was thriving with the Chicago Bulls and even found his way to become the youngest Most Valuable Player in league history. However, injuries derailed him from being able to play to his full potential. He then made his way to a lot of teams and has now ended up with the Memphis Grizzlies. Up until now, legends about the great things he did on the court have been surfacing throughout league history. Indiana Pacers' James Johnson may have just added to the plethora of stories about the all-time great.
Derrick Rose was thought of as a very serious guy. He did not show emotions during his All-Star introductions and was just ready to jump over someone if it meant that he would get a and-one opportunity. However, James Johnson posits that the youngest MVP in league history was not too serious. In fact, the Bulls legend was actually fairly funny.
“He was very quiet until you met him and started rocking with him. One of the funniest guys ever. Just being a rookie and knowing that I’m about to watch the best player in the league at that time. The things that he was doing were so incredible, that was the year before his MVP year. His MVP year, he picked up where he left off,” the Pacers enforcer said, via The OGs Show.
