5. Skills Challenge — Derrick Rose (2009)

Coming off a dismal 33-49 season, the Bulls were in need of a franchise player who could help turn things around. As fate would have it, they somehow beat the odds and landed the top overall pick in the 2008 draft.

With that pick, the Bulls selected Derrick Rose out of Memphis. Early on, it was obvious to most that Rose was a special player. But for those of us who didn’t get the memo, he showcased his talents during the Skills Challenge in 2009.

Not only did Rose make it through the competition without any major flaws while easily coming in under the time that he needed to win the event, he put his stamp on the evening with a vicious double-clutch reverse jam.

During his tenure with the Bulls, Rose won the Rookie of the Year and Most Valuable Player awards in 2009 and 2011, respectively. Furthermore, Rose helped the Bulls secure the conference’s best record in 2011 and 2012.
