Why is Derrick Rose so popular?

[JohnMax]

[ottooooooo]

black people

[Cocaine80s]

mvp, jumps high, small (for nba standard), good scorer

[iTare]

his style of play
the team he plays for
he's light skinned

[inclinerator]

flashy guy

[dubeta]

If you don't like Bran you have to like D-Rose by default

[noob cake]

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

Good player, but never near MVP level.

[JimmyMcAdocious]

Probably because his good looks and contagiously bubbly personality.

[TheTruth11]

- 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

[NZStreetBaller]

its basically his style of play... Doesnt matter how good you are if you have flashy moves your gonna be more popular which is why Kobe is a million times more popular then Tim Duncan

[moe94]

His style of play is very aesthetically pleasing and he was the best player on a team that had the best record in the NBA.

[Milbuck]

Flashy game, seems like a good dude despite being borderline retarded, plays in a big market (one of the more respectable big markets too, not NY or LA), his team is a contender when he's healthy, etc.

[BuffaloBill]

because he does this to people from brazil

[VengefulAngel]

Inefficient chucker, used to chuck way to many 3s. Remind you of anyone?

[bdreason]

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