Derrick Rose is one of the greatest point guards in the history of the NBA. However, he dealt with injuries that derailed the prime of his career. On Mother's Day, the NBA posted an old clip of Rose giving his MVP speech (in 2011). Rose said in the speech to his mom: "Last but not least, I want to thank my mom. With my heart. The reason that I play the way that I play. Just everything. Just knowing that the days that I don't feel like going into practice, or I'm having a hard time. I think about her when she had to wake me up, go to work, just making sure that I'm alright and making sure the family's alright. Those are hard days. My days shouldn't be hard because I love doing what I'm doing.
