Derrick Rose breaks into tears during the launch of his latest signature shoe from adidas, the D Rose 3 event.

“It’s truly a blessing. With all of the stuff that’s going on in this city, a kid from Englewood has got something positive going on. That makes me feel so good. This shoe is great; all this is great. But I can’t explain this. I can’t. I went through so much. To have, like, true fans, that means a lot to me. And I know it means a lot to my family, because we’re not supposed to be here — at all. But God made the way.”
