Derrick Rose: I don’t like talking about it because I don’t like talking about Hall of Fame. I feel like I’m already in the Hall of Fame when you think about when you ask kids from my city or you go around my city and you ask them about who I was… or my family members with me setting goals and standards for my family. What I’m achieving now, even after basketball, I feel like that’s Hall of Fame sh*t. But I want to let the record speak for itself without me actually telling you, “Man, this is going to be…” No. And the stuff that we did prior to me retiring, like the retirement video, like the Rose video, like the Sox pitch video, like that’s something that no other Hooper didn’t do yet. So I feel like that’s creating a lane, and that’s a Hall of Fame word. -via HoopsHype / June 2, 2025
