There’s been a handful of tear-jerking moments on the NBA hardwood over the past few years, but none quite captured the hearts of the entire NBA fan base than Derrick Rose’s career night on Halloween 2018. Pooh’s 50-point all in Minnesota against the Jazz reminded us all just how special a player he was. He was electrifying, shooting 19/31 from the field, hitting four three-pointers, and racking up some solid digits in every category — he even got the game-winning block. It’s not that Derrick had been playing bad basketball since his shocking run of injuries — in fact, the former MVP was dropping some very solid numbers post-injury in Chicago and New York – but we were yet to see a breakout game that evoked memories of the D Rose of old. Everyone — and we mean everyone — was ecstatic for Derrick, Jazz fans, and all. And when Derrick was in tears at the post-game interview, we all we’re too. It’s an occasion worth celebrating, and for Derrick’s next signature release, the adidas D Rose 11 “Career High”, that’s exactly what’s happening.
Honoring the team in which he faced off against, the pair arrives inspired by the Utah Jazz’s white unis, with accents of golden yellow, green, and purple throughout. The nice, clean colorway is capped off with special-edition insoles that show Pooh’s career-night stat line — a line that still gives this guy chills writing about it.
With pairs already having dropped in Asia, you can find sizes floating around here on eBay — and with no Stateside release in sight, it might be your best be to secure this pair of Derrick Rose memorabilia.
