on the afternoon of september 26th, beijing time, nba reporter shams reported that former mvp derrick rose officially retired, ending his 16-year nba career.

rose wrote in his retirement statement: "the next chapter is about chasing my dreams and sharing my growth. i firmly believe that true success comes from being the person you were created to be, and i want to show the world a self that goes beyond basketball!"

"whether good or bad, everyone has a 'what if' story in their life. if i had the chance, i wouldn't change a single part of my life because it's these experiences that have allowed me to find true happiness."

previously, rose took the initiative to apply to be cut by the grizzlies and gave up all his salary for next season.

rose was selected by the bulls with the first pick in 2008, which marked the beginning of his career. he has played for the bulls, knicks, cavaliers, timberwolves, pistons and grizzlies. throughout his nba career, rose played a total of 723 regular season games, including 518 starts. he averaged 30.5 minutes per game, scored 17.4 points, 3.2 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 0.7 steals, and his three-way shooting percentage was 45.6%, 31.6%, and 83.1%. he was a 3-time all-star, 1-time mvp, 1-time all-nba first team, 2-time player of the month, and 5-time player of the week.

in the 2010-11 season, rose led the bulls to a record of 62 wins and 20 losses, ranking first in the league. rose played 81 regular season games, averaging 37.4 minutes per game, scoring 25 points, 4.1 rebounds, 7.7 assists and 1 steal, with three-way hits of 44.5%, 33.2% and 85.8%. he won the mvp at the age of 22 and 191 days, a record that no one has broken so far.

commentator han qiaosheng later paid tribute to rose on social media: the youngest mvp in nba history, and he single-handedly changed the nba rules to create the "rose clause". even though his peak was short, rose was selected to the all-star team three times (two starts) and the all-nba team once throughout his career. he was injured for a long time, and after 14 years, rose almost withdrew from the list of stars... but he was ruthlessly abandoned by the bulls and cried helplessly, and returned to the peak with a 50-point night at the end of his career! who doesn't like warriors? i like him so much, the peak windy city rose, the veteran who has retired will never die!

han qiaosheng said: flowers may bloom again, but people will never be young again. salute to the rose!
