Former Bull falls in career
Derrick Rose, point guard for the New York Knicks and former Chicago Bull, tore his medial meniscus for the third time in his eight year career March 27.
It is a shame to see a player with his talent continuously go down with gruesome knee injuries.
The Chicago Bulls had less than a 2 percent chance of receiving the No. 1 overall pick in the 2008 NBA draft lottery. However, the pingpong balls bounced their way, and the Bulls selected the explosive point guard from University of Memphis and the kid from Englewood who played at Simeon Academy in Chicago, Rose.
It was time for Bulls fans to get excited about basketball again like they were during the Jordan era in the ‘90s.
