I got the chance to be in Chicago this summer and there's 3 things that Chi-Town plays no games with. Thats its Deep Dish Pizza (different blog), Gangster Culture and Basketball! Derrick Rose was born and bread in the South Side of Chicago, enough said. When Derrick Rose was in the United Center winning state championships the Michael Jordan statue was outside, every time Rose hit the floor in that gym it was engrained in him that it was home court of the greatest player of all-time and the most influential player ever in his city. I'm not sure if Derrick Rose can ever attain what Michael Jordan already has but the ceiling is so high and Rose's motivation is at an all-time high and I doubt he's in his prime yet as he should only be a senior in college entering into a possibly locked-out 2011 NBA league draft. Anyway, we'll see if Rose can earn the most important reason to be in a conversation with Michael Jordan and thats an NBA Championship. #2011NBAPlayoffs
