Although recent box scores may not show it, Derrick Rose has played more aggressively as of late, which is a sight for sore eyes for Chicago Bulls fans.

Averaging a career-low 14.4 points, the eight-year vet has braved the long road back from multiple injuries in hopes of regaining the style of play that made Chi-Town's native son a three-time All-Star.

That's two points the hard way for the former MVP, and the Windy City approves.
