Derrick Rose talks return to elite status, Chicago trauma and being a loner

New Knicks point guard Derrick Rose takes a shot at some Q&A with Post columnist Steve Serby.

Q: How hungry or driven are you to approach the kind of elite player you were?

A: I’m always driven. I’ve always been driven. I always had the underdog mentality, no matter where I was at in my career. But going through the injuries, you could be down. At one point, I wanted revenge and all that, but actually just going through it, I’m taking it as a challenge. I’m putting in all the work that I’m putting in, I’m doing everything I could do to actually get back to that player, but it takes time.
