Why Derrick Rose is My Kind of Guy
Dec 21st, 2011 by Carlos
Here’s the what last season’s NBA MVP had to say after signing his 5-year, $94 million contract extension:
“I think I live a humble life,” Rose said. “Of course, I know I’ll be able to afford whatever I want, but other than that, there aren’t too many things that excite me. Me winning is one of the things. Me being around my family, that’s another. Money, that’s the last thing I think about.”
To those that don’t regularly follow him, this isn’t a surprise. All Rose likes to do is work on his game and win.
That’s it.
It’s refreshing to see someone so driven by his passion to get rewarded with both accolades and a ton of money. Sometimes you really can be successful by doing what you love and giving it your all.
