The moment Chicago Bulls fans have been waiting for since April 28, 2012 finally happened when Derrick Rose returned to the United Center for his first home game (albeit preseason) since his devastating ACL injury.

And amidst a bunch of flack for opting to sit out an entire year, Rose proved that it was all worth the wait with an impressive 22 points in just 22 minutes of play.

D-Rose showed more control than ever with limited preseason rust, blowing by defenders and attacking the rim like he never left. Watch the outstanding return below.

What’s even more interesting is that Derrick said he’s gained even more explosiveness this season after a year of rehab. He could very well be poised for another MVP campaign.
