Derrick Rose believes that with age and experience, heās become a better player now than he was during his 2011 MVP campaign.
On Tuesday, Rose told reporters that he had a ārecklessā game when, at age 22, he became the youngest the MVP in NBA history.
Now at age 30, Rose says his Basketball IQ is much higher and his three-point shot is falling, allowing him to become āthe complete package.ā
āTo be honest, I feel like Iām better. I was reckless back then. I didnāt know the game.
āJust look at my game now, then look at my game when I played with the Bulls. It was a reckless game. Now, Iām more poised. Iām more under control. Whenever I do go to the basket, Iām smarter. My IQ is a lot higher.
āI think I got the complete package now. I can drive. Iām taking the shots that theyāre giving me. And Iām shooting the ball pretty good right now. So I think Iām a better player.
