Chicago native Derrick Rose, youngest ever MVP in NBA, retires
Chicago native and former MVP Derrick Rose is retiring from the NBA after a 16-year career.
“Knowing that I gave my all to the game, I feel confident in my decision,” Rose told ESPN.
“Basketball was just the beginning for me. Now, it’s important that I give my all to my family — they deserve that.”
Rose, 35, shared his decision on social media Thursday morning.
He also took out pages in the local newspapers of the six NBA cities he played in — Chicago, New York, Cleveland, Minneapolis, Detroit, and Memphis — to thank each fanbase.
The Memphis Grizzlies had granted Rose’s request to let him out of the final year of his contract earlier in the week.
