I'll Show You

By: Derrick Rose, Sam Smith - with

Narrated by: David Sadzin

In 2012, Derrick Rose was on top of the world.

After growing up in Chicago's Englewood neighborhood, Rose achieved an improbable childhood dream: being selected first overall in the NBA draft by his hometown Chicago Bulls.

The point guard, known to his family as "Pooh", was a phenom, winning the Rookie of the Year award and electrifying fans around the world. In 2011, he became the youngest MVP in league history. He and the Bulls believed the city's first berth in the NBA Finals since the Jordan era was on the horizon. Rarely had a bond between a player and fans been so strong, as the city wrapped its arms around the homegrown hero.

Six years and four knee surgeries later, he was waived by the Utah Jazz, a once surefire Hall of Fame career seemingly on the brink of collapse. Many speculated his days in the NBA were over.

But Derrick Rose never doubted himself, never believed his struggles on and off the court were anything other than temporary setbacks. Rather than telling the world he had more to give, he decided to show them.

An open DRose

The book was a little too “ranty” but overall I was happy to see DRose open up like he did. Huge fan of his, keep grinding.

Understanding DRose

When I started this audible, I thought I was just gonna be about Derrick Rose’s highlights, completely wrong, I got to journey into the mind of Derrick Rose, understanding where he came from, how hard he worked and to be an inspiration. Makes me appreciate him even more. When talking about the trades and the infamous injuries and the struggles he had to do to get where he’s at now. Just truly powerful. Definitely a role model. Thanks DRose for sharing your story with the world.

Great Story!!!

I truly loved the book! It's must read and listen! It was a story that was needed, because it's thing to prove your worth to everyone, but really prove your worth to yourself. D-Rose your story is very inspirational and I look for forward to you doing great things in the future.
