The Return of Rose

By Christian Marcia

Guess whose back? Derrick Rose has made a return to the NBA after suffering and ACL tear. Derrick Rose got injured on April, 2012. The injury caused him to miss all of the 2012-2013 season. If Rose didn’t get injured the Bulls would have had a shot at the championship. In my opinion they would have took the trophy to Chicago. The 2011-2012 season the Bulls were one of the best teams in the Eastern conference. In the 2012-2013 season the Bulls were an ok team. If they would have had Rose they would have probably advanced in the first round. One player really makes a difference to a team. 

   He went to rehab for a year because of the ACL tear.  He worked hard to come back this season, and he said he expects a championship this season.  Also his vertical increased by five inches after coming out of rehab. On October 5th, 2013 Rose played his first game since getting injured. Rose scored 13 points against the Pacers in 20 minutes. That’s a good start for someone who hasn’t played for a year. I think that Derrick Rose is back and he will have an impressing season this year. I think that the Bulls will the number 1 seed because of Rose. Also I think that he would be in the mix for league MVP. This is how good Rose is. Many people are going to expect a lot from him this year. If he doesn’t perform well people are going to think he’s just an average player. Before suffering the tear Rose was considered one of the best in the NBA. He was an explosive player, and he was the league MVP 2010-2011 season. Can he still be that explosive player this season?
