Derrick Rose Drops Surprising GOAT Take And Picks Chicago Legend

Derrick Rose Drops Surprising GOAT Take And Picks Chicago Legend originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Former Chicago Bulls star Derrick Rose retired from the NBA before the 2024-25 season. The 2011 MVP appeared in 723 NBA games with the Bulls, New York Knicks, Cleveland Cavaliers, Minnesota Timberwolves, Detroit Pistons and Memphis Grizzlies. Advertisement Rose became the youngest MVP in NBA history during the 2010-11 season with his hometown Bulls. The Chicago native averaged 25.0 points, 4.1 rebounds, 7.7 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.6 blocks in 81 games. Rose finished his NBA career with averages of 17.4 points, 3.2 rebounds, 5.2 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.3 blocks. He made three All-Star teams and one All-NBA team and won the 2009 Rookie of the Year Award. Rose and Michael Jordan are the only players in Bulls history to win the MVP Award. Since Rose grew up in Chicago, it wouldn't be much of a shock if Jordan was Rose's G.O.A.T. over LeBron James or Kobe Bryant. Derrick RoseDavid Banks-Imagn Images However, during an interview with Cyro Asseo de Choch of HoopsHype, Rose admitted that Detroit Pistons legend Isiah Thomas is his GOAT. Advertisement Rose and Thomas were born and raised in Chicago. "I mean, my G.O.A.T. now is Isiah Thomas because he's from Chicago," Rose said. "The only guy who beat Magic [Johnson], Mike [Jordan], and [Larry] Bird all in their prime at 6-3. Chicago's way of doing [expletive]. "I used to say MJ, but it wasn't MJ. I said it because I was intrigued by his story and how he won. But I'm not a two-guard. I don't score like him at all. So it was just me just admiring his story." Thomas spent his entire career with the Pistons. The Hall of Famer had a fierce rivalry with Jordan, who hated Thomas back then and still hates him to this day. Advertisement Thomas won two rings and one Finals MVP with the Pistons. He averaged 19.2 points, 3.6 rebounds, 9.3 assists, 1.9 steals and 0.3 blocks.

Wildfire Smoke Linked to Respiratory Admissions in Seniors

Among older adults in the western United States, exposure to high concentrations of smoke-related fine particulate matter (PM2.5) was associated with increased rates of hospitalizations for respiratory diseases, with weaker but suggestive ties to cardiovascular hospitalizations. METHODOLOGY: Researchers carried out a retrospective cohort study to analyze the association between exposure to smoke-specific PM2.5 and cause-specific hospitalizations in older adults in the United States. They used inpatient claims data of 10,369,361 Medicare beneficiaries (mean age, 74.7 years; 53.1% women) across 11 western United States during wildfire seasons from 2006 to 2016, with 57,974,120 person-months of follow-up. The causes of unscheduled hospitalizations were inferred from International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification codes and classified into various disease categories. codes and classified into various disease categories. Daily concentrations of surface-level smoke-specific PM2.5 were estimated through machine learning models that utilized ground measurements, satellite data, and reanalysis data sources. The associations between causes of hospitalization and smoke-specific PM2.5 were characterized by examining daily county-level rates of unscheduled hospitalization by disease category, modeling hospitalization rates according to same-day and prior-week smoke-specific PM2.5 exposure. TAKEAWAY: The leading cause of unscheduled hospitalizations was cardiovascular disease, with a mean daily rate of 7.92 per 100,000 persons, followed by digestive system disease at 3.62 and respiratory disease at 3.53 per 100,000 persons. Respiratory hospitalizations increased as smoke-specific PM2.5 exceeded 25 μg/m 3 , with average daily rates increasing by 2.40 (95% CI, 0.17-4.63) per 100,000 persons when PM2.5 levels rose from 0 to 40 μg/m 3 over a week. , with average daily rates increasing by 2.40 (95% CI, 0.17-4.63) per 100,000 persons when PM2.5 levels rose from 0 to 40 μg/m over a week. Hospitalizations due to cardiovascular diseases were unrelated to smoke-specific PM2.5 at exposure levels < 20 μg/m 3 but showed an increasing trend at higher concentrations. but showed an increasing trend at higher concentrations. No significant associations were seen for hospitalizations related to injuries, digestive issues, neuropsychiatric conditions, or endocrine disorders. IN PRACTICE: 'This information can be used by both policymakers and clinicians to design policies and guidelines to protect vulnerable older adults from the escalating health threats posed by wildfire smoke,' the authors wrote. SOURCE: This study was led by Sofia L. Vega, Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, Boston. It was published online on April 30, 2025, in JAMA Network Open . LIMITATIONS: Estimating concentrations of smoke-specific PM2.5 proved challenging due to the lack of direct measurements. County-level exposure measures may not have accurately reflected the exposures experienced by individual residents. This study did not include information on wildfires from recent years when their intensity increased. DISCLOSURES: This study was supported by the Harvard Climate Change Solutions Fund and grants from the National Institutes of Health. One author reported receiving support through an environmental fellowship at the Harvard University Center. The authors reported having no conflicts of interest.
