A lot of people thought Derrick Rose was one of the most talented young athletes. Unfortunately, he spent the majority of his heyday on the sidelines due to injury. He was also dealing with some problems off the floor at this time. The former actor of “My Expert Opinion” clarified the rape accusations made against him in an episode.
Rose was accused of some significant offences during the 2015–16 season, which also happened to be his final with the Chicago Bulls. He was charged in August 2015 with drugging and gang-raping his ex-girlfriend two years prior.
NBA player Derrick Rose:
“Sh*t was so far from the truth. You let us in the apartment. We went in one at a time, and it was so far from like a f****n train. She told the story, lied about it.”
Rose then discussed the verdict of the case and said:
“If anything, she owe me 20-30 thousand after the court case.”
In response to a question about whether Derrick Rose went to collect the same from her or not, the guard said he didn’t. Note that Rose’s ex-girlfriend did make an effort to appeal the decision, but that attempt was unsuccessful, and the matter was swiftly dropped. Rose’s reputation was marred by the case’s aftermath. After the trial, he was seen taking photos with the jurors, which was quite strange. Long-term, nevertheless, Rose has improved his reputation.
Derrick Rose will play for the Memphis Grizzlies next season after a poor campaign with the New York Knicks. Rose was signed by the Grizzlies in free agency, and they gave him a multi-year contract worth $6.55 million. The addition of Rose might be mostly advantageous for Memphis. Ja Morant’s 25-game suspension to begin the regular season may cause Rose to come off the bench before Marcus Smart as the starting point guard.
As a veteran off the bench, the 34-year-old still has a lot to offer. Even though Morant’s comeback may result in a considerable decrease in his playing time, he might end up being an invaluable mentor to the great Grizzlies player.
