The No. 1 pick of the 2008 NBA Draft, Rose became an immediate star with his hometown Bulls. The 6-foot-3 guard won Rookie of the Year honors and followed that up with three straight All-Star appearances.
The middle of that run was highlighted by his standout 2010-11 season, when Rose became the youngest MVP in league history at age 22. Rose averaged 25 points, 4.1 rebounds and 7.7 assists that season while leading Chicago to a league-best 62-20 record and the Eastern Conference Finals, both high marks for the Bulls since Jordan’s last season with the team (1997-98).
