Toronto — Derrick Rose can always go home again.
When the Pistons visit Chicago on Friday, it’ll be Rose’s first trip back to his hometown to face his former team, with whom he started his career in 2008-09 and was named MVP in 2011.
Wherever he goes, Rose carries a Chicago swagger with him, a never-say-die attitude he exudes whether he’s on the court with a ball in his hands or chatting with teammates in the locker room.
It’s evident in the way he talks and attacks the rim — though it’s not the same all-out frenetic pace he had earlier in his career.
