Based off of the way he finished the playoffs (excluding that HORRIBLE Game 6 against Cleveland), I think he finished strong. He's heading into the off season healthy and has plenty of time to rest up his knees and work on parts of his game that he doesn't like. Personally, i'm rooting for him. I want him to win. He honestly deserves it. Plus, it's hard not to like him. All he wants to do is make his city proud 😢 😢😢 So why not? Why can't he be an All Star again? And no. Don't say "Because he's made of glass." That's not a justifiable reason 😂. Something along the lines of "The guard position in the east is too deep for him to even make it."

I hope so. His growth was absolutely astounding. And had he not been injured, he would have a ring by now. Rookie of the Year to MVP a year or two later? That's incredible. He was just that sort of "Wow" player. But he needs to rebound. Start working on his shooting but also strengthen his lower body. Because when Derrick Rose is in motion, he instantly transforms into one of the most dangerous players in the NBA. Only Russell Westbrook surpasses him that regard IMO.
