Former MVP Derrick Rose is retiring from the NBA after a 16-year career.
Derrick Rose, who won an NBA MPV while playing for his hometown Chicago Bulls, is retiring from the league."Knowing that I gave my all to the game, I feel confident in my decision," Rose told ESPN. "Basketball was just the beginning for me. Now, it's important that I give my all to my family -- they deserve that."
The Memphis Grizzlies had granted Rose's request to let him out of the final year of his contract earlier in the week. Rose won the 2008-09 Rookie of the Year and was an All-Star the next three seasons. He became the youngest MVP in NBA history, winning the honor as a 22-year-old in 2010-11, when he averaged 25.0 points and 7.7 assists per game to lead the Bulls to a league-best 62-20 record before they made a run to the Eastern Conference finals.
