Derrick Rose Watch: Chicago Bulls All-Star Named Starting Point Guard For U.S. National Team

Team USA news has been relatively quiet since the team has not held practices (until today) since the terrible injury to Indiana Pacers forward Paul George.

However, before that, all the news out of Team USA practice was the incredible bounce and explosion that Derrick Rose has shown in his return to competitive basketball on the national stage with Team USA.

Team USA news has been relatively quiet since the team has not held practices (until today) since the terrible injury to Indiana Pacers forward Paul George. However, before that, all the news out of Team USA practice was the incredible bounce and explosion that Derrick Rose has shown in his return to competitive basketball on the national stage with Team USA. Rose seemed like his old self, flying from coast to coast to score and explode to the rim for dunks and athletic finishes. All of the positive news about Rose seems to have bouyed the hopes of Chicago and BullsNation, despite news that the Cleveland Cavaliers, fresh off of winning the free agent lottery by getting Lebron James back, have also in principle, agreed on a deal with Minnesota for the services of Kevin Love. Such an outpouring of good fortune on a Central Division rival would usually be looked at with pessimism about the upcoming season, but not with the hope of Derrick Rose returning to his MVP-form of the 2010-11 NBA season. With Team USA in Chicago to practice and play an exhibition game against a very good Brazil team at the United Center on Saturday, Chicago Bulls fans will have an opportunity to see Derrick Rose live in person tomorrow and judge with their own eyes if #theReturn 2.0 is hype or hope. Hold on to your seats because DRose may have something special in store for all the diehards of BullsNation this weekend! While this is just an exhibition game, there will be pressure on Rose playing at the UC, in front of the Chicago crowd. How will Derrick play against Brazil at the UC, under that pressure? Tell us what you think in the comments below!

Derrick Rose got the love and affection of the hometown crowd last night when Team USA played a tune up exhibition game against Brazil at the United Center in Chicago. It marked the first competitive game that Rose has played at the UC since his second of two knee injuries that has kept him from competing with his Chicago Bulls much of the last two seasons.

It marked the first competitive game that Rose has played at the UC since his second of two knee injuries that has kept him from competing with his Chicago Bulls much of the last two seasons. The hometown crowd even greeted their All-Star and former youngest NBA MVP ever with chants of "MVP", in high anticipation of the upcoming season, for which hopes are high because of Derrick Rose's return. After great performances in Las Vegas earning him the starting point guard role for Team USA, DRose continued his steady play in last night's exhibition game in Chicago. Although he put up just 7 points on 2 of 5 shooting to go with 4 rebounds and 2 assists, his explosive drives to the basket brought back visions of DRose circa 2010-11, when he was the best player in the world and winning the MVP award. The signature DRose moment came in the 3rd Quarter, when he drove by his defender and after exploding to the basket, switch hands in midair, laying it up with his left. It was just another display of athleticism that not only wowwed the Chicago Bulls fans on hand, but also emphatically said that "DROSE IS BACK!" Check out footage of the play and other Derrick Rose highlights from the game: But of course, all the talk was about the performance put in by Chicago-product Anthony Davis. The New Orleans Pelicans' big man dominated down the stretch and tallied 20 points, 8 rebounds, and 5 blocks in aiding Team USA to a 95-78 victory. Now there is another Chicago-product that went #1 Overall in the NBA Draft who should come home and help the Chicago Bulls win an NBA Championship. Did you catch the Team USA vs Brazil game?
