Why is Derrick Rose so popular?

[The_Pharcyde]

media hype -> MVP
plays in big market
flash drives and cross overs, acrobatic finishes.

Good player, but never near MVP level.

trust their opinion over yours

FAYYYYGGGGGG!!!!! hahahahah MVP

[fpliii]

Damn.

[TheTruth11]

He was arguably the most exciting player in the world before the injury.

^This. Plays with swag plus add in the fact that he is laidback off the court, down to earth, likeable and as the ladies say, good looking = recipe for popularity.

His god-like athleticism makes him exciting to watch. That's why he's one of my favorite players. I became a fan of his since that 36 point game he had in the playoffs vs Boston during his rookie year.

His combination of speed, quickness, agility, athleticism, touch and finesse was other worldly before his injuries.

He is starting to return to form.

The way he can accelerate and blow by people is incredible, and the way he finishes around the hoop, his body control and touch is just amazing.

And he is humble and respectable

[L.A.Hawks]

cuz that niggga cute.

[SamuraiSWISH]

WOW @ that speed, acceleration, athleticism, bunnies, and body dexterity

[DaSeba5]

He's exciting to watch, he plays for a big market with a big fan base, and he won the MVP.

[Denitron]

- He is arguably the most athletic point guard to ever play the game

- He does things on the floor that you rarely see

- His speed is unreal

- He is fearless

- He is humble

- Although humble, he plays with style and swagg

- He is a winner

[eliteballer]

He plays for Chicago. That's the biggest reason.

[deja vu]

He's humble unlike the so-called Chosen One.

[Stringer Bell]

A terrific player who is fun to watch.

Playing for his hometown team doesn't hurt either.
