ATHLETE SPOTLIGHT Derrick Rose has had a bad reputation lately with the NBA and the Chicago fans. This is because of all of the injuries and the downhill career that he was playing in Chicago. Derrick Rose is however doing amazing and breaking personal career highs this year and continuing to play to his full potential as the Chicago fans wish he was able to do here. Watch him as he continues to succeed! “A trophy carries dust. Memories last forever.” - Mary Lou Retton
