一切由他傷出那一刻起 。
是可怕的ACL Tear。治療或復健稍稍出錯，輕則不再打出高水平，重則Rose 的NBA生命就此玩完。
在傷出的一年，Rose 面對的是復健練習的痛苦、對前景的迷惑、想打波但無得打的揪心、季後賽看著隊友苦戰的自責、和類似以下的批評、嘲諷、恥笑。
Rose 說他只要100%健康就會回來；但很多論者話Rose 花大多時間復健，是不理球隊、是自私唔想打、或是膽怯唔敢出場。
他還是一貫沉著應戰。
然後525日後，我們看到的是…
挺好吧？不說以為是 the old Derrick Rose 吧？
他在這季前賽後說自己感覺良好。他說他比傷前跳得更高(垂直跳高度由37寸提高到42寸)、*跑得更快、爆炸力更強、體格更強、射波更穩定。
但他會不會一直健康？這不好說，NBA有哪個人絕對不會傷？
但如果他傷，他會否回來？我打死都說會，因為Derrick Rose 這個人目中無人，只有籃球。
*註:
Rose 談關於速度、爆發力:
“I think I’m a lot quicker, a lot more explosive, and I think I’m gonna go this year without that many nagging injuries, just trying to prevent it by stretching and doing all the things I have to do to take care of my body.”
關於體格:
“Now this year, I got a little more strength behind me, so I think going to the hole, taking those shots, I’ll be able to finish a lot stronger this year.”
關於投射:
“I’ve been shooting a lot. A lot. Especially during the [’12-13] season, I’d go out there before games and shoot up a lot of shots. Now you add lifting weights and you’re shooting almost every day, your shot becomes easier, and your confidence grows, and with shooting, there’s nothing like confidence. So I think I’m gonna be a great shooter next year.”
