A fan’s day got lit up after he saw NBA legend Derrick Rose making calls with an earpiece by the sidewalk. Unless you live in Los Angeles, it’s not every day you see celebrities or people with a $90 million net worth carelessly standing along the road. The baller seemed a little tense while having a phone conversation, but that didn’t stop the fan from literally screaming upon seeing him.
The 36-year-old baller has been pretty significant in the NBA, and his current team is the Memphis Grizzlies, hence, it is not surprising that a fan will be overwhelmed after spotting him on a random sidewalk just by himself with no security.
We know that the best athletes in the world are just as human as we are, yet it still appears bizarre when we see them doing things we do on a day-to-day basis.
Maybe it’s the fact that they’re actually seen doing these things that’s off, because it’s really the only difference.
That was the case when someone spotted Derrick Rose randomly standing in the middle of a city having a conversation on his phone. Rose could have been involved in an argument as he appeared to be pretty animated while speaking to whoever was on the other end.
As human as he is, it’s strange catching Rose out randomly in the street just by himself. Even stranger is the fact that his headphones are wired in 2023.
"That's D-Rose, bro!"
This guy couldn't believe he saw Derrick Rose standing on the sidewalk 😅

Rose is still a fan favorite despite injuries wrecking his career. The guard, a former MVP, is an icon to many, especially those who grew up watching him in the 2010s.
So while he is not that guy anymore, there’s still reason for excitement whenever he’s spotted somewhere.
The former high-flyer is now with the Memphis Grizzlies following a stint with the New York Knicks and he’s especially loved in that city as he played his college ball there before heading to the NBA.
The Grizzlies will hope that his veteran presence could help steer things in the right direction given their struggles with Ja Morant.
Morant will miss the first 25 games of the season through suspension so the Grizzlies will be relying on Rose pretty heavily during that period.
While Rose has a remarkable NBA track record, he, like many other celebrities, has had scandals. Back in 2018, the baller was accused of sexually assaulting (gang raping) his ex-girlfriend. The lady requested over $20 million in compensation, however, he was found not guilty and returned to build his career. Even though many still believed he should have been locked up for the allegations, he is still very much loved by many sports fans.
