Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant applauded the career of recently retired 2011 NBA MVP Derrick Rose during Tuesday’s media availability.

(via Memphis Grizzlies):

“Hell of a career, man. Special guy. Special talent. Everybody know what he means to the game of basketball, know what he means to athletic guards. Pretty much paved the way for guys like me. So, big congrats. I feel like the best thing about it is he was able to walk out on his own terms. That’s all you can ask for pretty much as a player. Hats off to him.”
