Cleveland Cavaliers guard Derrick Rose is putting to rest any doubts about his love of basketball and desire to continue his NBA career.
In an interview with Marc J. Spears of The Undefeated, Rose definitively said no and called it "stupid" when asked if he came close to retiring:
"I'm in love with the game. The love of the game. I still am a winner. I still love learning the game. Where else can you learn more than from Golden State or [Cleveland]? LeBron has been to the Finals eight times and seven straight years.
