Derrick Rose's new Knicks number honors Ben Wilson, undying legacy of hoops' other fallen heroes

Posted Jun 29, 2016
Derrick Rose is one who made it. He grew up in the toughest parts of Chicago. But he didn't fall victim. He was a superstar at Simeon Career Academy, a public high school on the city's south side. He played just one season of college basketball, then was picked first overall by his hometown Bulls in 2008. He was NBA MVP in 2011. In a blockbuster move Wednesday, the Bulls traded Rose to the New York Knicks. (Mashable)
