Draymond Green and a teammate break down Derrick Rose's elite athleticism, his MVP season, and his comeback with USA Basketball after injury. Green argues Rose's impact on Chicago basketball and his resilience deserve Hall of Fame consideration.

Shout out to Derrick Rose. He is just so cold. I did catch him when I was like, "I'm that guy." Down the stretch of the game, that fool was posting me up. They was throwing it to him on the block, bro. Turn around, shot a bank shot fade.
I was like, "Bro, who are you?" Right when I came into the league, he got hurt. In 2014, I wanna say it was, there was a world championship team and D. Rose hadn't really played for the Bulls yet. He came back. His return was with USA Basketball on the world championship team.
And I was on the select team.
D-Rose came down full speed at me.
I—
he hit me with a crazy, uh!
I was just like, yo, that's crazy to see that type of athleticism up close.
That's Chicago's heartbeat. And to go to Chicago to get drafted number 1 pick, become the MVP in your city, and then to accept with grace when it came to an end. If you win MVP in the NBA—
Yeah. You're Hall of Fame.
