Derrick Rose's First NBA Game: The adidas TS Creator Nobody Remembers

18 years ago, on October 28, 2008, Derrick Rose played his first NBA game at the United Center in Chicago, and he didn't play it in a signature shoe. He played it in an adidas TS Creator player edition, Bulls white and red. In this episode, Nick Engvall tells the story: the 2008 Memphis run in adidas, the 1.7% lottery that sent a kid from Englewood to his hometown team, his debut against the Bucks, the shoe almost nobody remembers, and its First Game Score out of 10. Plus my own Memphis player edition adidas TS Pro Model, straight from the very first Sneaker Storage trip.
