To my estimation, he's not been convicted of anything, but what he is, he plays hard.

Everybody just streams out on the floor to greet him, show him the respect, and they all know what this means to him, they know what he's lost, and now what he's trying to find.

What a great moment for Derrick Rose, and all the stuff that he's been through too.

You could not have scripted a better ending to this game for the Timberwolves, and you see the emotion on Derrick Rose's face, a 50 point effort to get the Timberwolves a gutty win over the Utah Jazz.

He's got a lot of stuff going on off the court, and I'm not a judge and I'm not a jury, and to my estimation, he's not been convicted of anything, but what he is, he plays hard, he's a gutty basketball player.

Derrick, you can see you're very emotional.

A huge victory for this team, and it comes from you and your career high, 50 points.

What does it mean to you, Derrick?

Everything, man.

I worked my ass off, bro.

I wouldn't have did this for the franchise, the organization, the fans, everybody, man.

I wouldn't be able to play the way I play, man.

We weren't sure if it was the throwback jersey you were wearing, but you did look like Derrick Rose of old, and what did it feel like going through from beginning to end?

I'm doing anything just to win, man.

I played my heart out.

My teammates told me before the game, just play my game, and tonight was a hell of a night.

What does it say about this team that seemed unnerved when you found out that you were going to be down two starters, and you guys jumped right away at the start of this game under your energy and didn't stop at all?

What does it say about this team?

We got a young group.

My job is to come in, be the veteran, help guys out, lead by example.

You see me talking.

It's the most I ever talked to my teammates in my whole career, so it means a lot.

The crowds are thankful for you, Derrick.

Congratulations on a huge night.

You deserve it.

Way to go, baby.

Good shit.

Good shit.

Way to go, Nuggets.

Way to go, boy.

Way to work, boy.

Way to work.
