Defining the News
American basketball player Derrick Rose, the youngest ever NBA star to win the Most Valuable Player award, announced his retirement on Thursday after 16 seasons.
“You gave me a gift, our time together, one that I will cherish for the rest of my days. You told me it’s okay to say goodbye, reassuring me that you’ll always be a part of me, no matter where life takes me.” The Memphis Grizzlies had this week granted Rose’s request to let him out of the final year of his two-year contract.
But his career was thrown off course after tearing his ACL during the first round of the 2012 playoffs. He missed the entire next season and was limited to only 10 games in 2013-14.
