Derrick Rose

Recent Q & A

Question:

What was it like being part of the Team USA camp in Vegas?

Answer:

It was great. It was an honor to be invited, and I hope I made a good impression. Just to be there and play with so many great players was a good learning experience and a lot of fun for me. I can't wait for future opportunities with Team USA!

Question:

Are you there all the time and on all the 4 days of the camp?

Answer:

Yes! I'll be there throughout the camp meeting everyone and teaching all the campers.

Question:

What are you most looking forward to about all-star weekend?

Answer:

Just being with the fans. Being with my family. And just having fun, that's what the whole experience is about. Just having fun down there and learning some leadership skills while I'm down there with those great players.

Question:

How does it feel to be an all-star?

Answer:

I really can't describe it right now. It really hasn't hit me. Hopefully, when I get down to Dallas that's when it will really hit me, I know. I really didn't know there wasn't an All-Star for the Bulls since Mike in '98 or something like that, so just thinking about that it's amazing.

Question:

at the moment, are you a bigger Memphis fan or Kentucky fan?

Answer:

Memphis. I'll always be a Memphis fan. But my coach [John Calipari] is in Kentucky, so I'm their fan too, but I'm definitely a Memphis fan.

Derrick Rose Signature Series Basketballs Coming Soon

The Derrick Rose Signature Series Basketballs, produced exclusively by Wilson Sporting Goods, will hit stores this June. Available in both rubber and Wave models, the balls incorporate the D Rose logo as well as his design input.

“I’ve enjoyed success everywhere I’ve played,” said Rose. “And Wilson has been with me every step of the way. What I love about the company is that they’re constantly working to improve the game. That’s the same work ethic I have every time I step on the floor.”

Rose’s affiliation with Wilson is multi-faceted. Beyond his signature series of basketballs, Derrick will also serve on the Wilson Advisory staff where he will assist with product testing and provide feedback on the latest Wilson basketball technology. Derrick Rose is the latest in a long line of star-studded athletes to serve on the Wilson Advisory Staff. The list includes Padraig Harrington, Roger Federer, Venus and Serena Williams, Tom Brady, David Wright and Kerri Walsh.
