The Bucks had to see first-hand Rose terrorize them when he was in their division with the Chicago Bulls. While some people were beginning to write him off, Rose proved with the New York Knicks that he can still get the job done.
Derrick Rose was a big upgrade for New York in their backcourt when they acquired him from the Detroit Pistons. The team went 25-10 in the regular season with him and he was their most consistent performer in the postseason as well.
