0John Wall & Harrison Barnes Praise Derrick Rose For Fighting Through Adversity
Last night Derrick Rose led all scorers by pouring in 31 points, five assists, and three rebounds against the Los Angeles Lakers, and shooting 77 percent from the three-point line. Unfortunately, the Timberwolves were not able to pull out the win at the Staple Center falling 114- 110.
During the broadcast, Mark Jackson and other members of the broadcasting to Derrick Rose as a great candidate for comeback player of the year. It is not a far-fetch idea Rose already has the league talking after dropping 50 points in a three-point win against the Utah Jazz on Halloween night two weeks ago.
The former MVP has battle numerous leg injuries on the court that have sideline him over the past six seasons, and a couple of games this season. During numerous games this season, Rose has shown that he still has the athleticism and explosiveness to finish at the basket. His peers have all taken notices and have gone on the record and voice their opinions.
Before the season even started future Hall of Famer Kevin Garnett stated that he would start Derrick at the point guard position. As a guest on the Scoop Radio Podcast. “Yeah, I would”…“It’s D-Rose,” said Garnett.
Wall added:
So, I was glad to see him drop 50 the other night. You don’t lose that competitive nature.
This is so dope Man! Can’t imagine the down days, weeks, months and years he went through. 50 ball!! So much respect bro 🙏🏽🙏🏽 https://t.co/s42i7Zp63I
