Derrick Rose is in attack mode & no one is getting in his way … including his own mom! Yes ladies & gents, D-Rose is back and I can’t wait for the season to start!!! Check out what he had to say…
Via ESPN:
Chicago Bulls superstar Derrick Rose has his mental edge back. After sitting out all of last season while rehabbing from a torn ACL he suffered on April 28, 2012, Rose looks — and sounds — like a man who is ready to prove all his critics wrong.
While discussing what it will mean to him to be back on the floor against a different team in Saturday’s preseason opener against the Indiana Pacers, the former MVP said it doesn’t matter who he is playing, he would approach the game the same way.
“I’m a guy where whoever’s on the court I’m going to go at them,” Rose said. “If it’s my teammates, it could be my mom on the court, she’s going to get killed. I could care less who [is out there]. For me, I’m just trying to build that mentality where I don’t care who’s out there, I’m going to play the same way.”
After sitting out almost a year and a half because of the knee injury, Rose is excited about the opportunity to compete again with his teammates.
“I’m ready,” Rose said. “I’m just ready to go out there and play. Every day I’m getting stronger, I haven’t had any setbacks. I’m just looking forward to the day where I step on the court.”
