Derrick Rose was born and raised in Chicago. He came out of the gate his rookie year with Chicago making a name for himself and propelling his city into the headlines. A year later, he became the youngest player to ever receive the MVP award(24). After a serious knee injury the following year, which left him unable to play, there were many in Chicago who were quick to disparage him. This magazine spread covers his comeback to the game. Always being one of the most humble NBA players, the image chosen of him looking down upon “The Return” reflects his humble Chicago start while the skyline behind him symbolizes the burden of carrying the city on his back.
