About the Work
MVP - Derrick Rose reflects one of the most important moments in
Chicago basketball history.
In 2011, Derrick Rose became the youngest player in NBA history
to win the league's Most Valuable Player award.
For Chicago, the accomplishment represented more than an
individual award. Rose was a Chicago native who had risen from
the city's basketball culture to become the face of the Bulls
and one of the most recognizable athletes in professional
basketball.
The work captures the period when Rose represented possibility,
youth, athletic brilliance, and the return of championship
expectations to Chicago basketball.
